Lovely & Unique Property
We wanted a few days away to visit Winchester and the surrounding area and The Chapel came up as available so we snapped it up. The property as you'd imagine is a converted chapel for which the conversion has been very well done and is very complimentary to the property. It has plenty of space for two + our dog, and in fact the garden is huge so our dog loved that. Its very well situated for access to Winchester which is around 10-15 minutes drive away and even the coast is only around 30-35 minutes. We did have some initial trouble getting the access information but that was from VRBO and nothing to do with owner, who was lovely and very helpful. If you're looking for a comfortable and unique property in this area I doubt you could beat this one.

Perfect location, immaculate property
Absolutely beautiful property- really warm and cosy, immaculately clean and very well equipped. We stayed for a weekend just before Christmas and it was a great base for exploring the city and visiting family. Its only about a 10 minute drive in to the centre of Winchester, but you'd never know it as the location of the chapel is so peaceful and tucked away. There are even birds of prey, deer and pheasants just in the garden. The host is very helpful and easy to contact, we will very likely stay again soon!
