About this property

Formerly, Zoar Congregational Chapel offering a unique stay in Pembrokeshire

Formerly a Congregational chapel built in 1865, it has been restored to retain its original features mixed with contemporary interior design and a mix of traditional and contemporary furniture. The property is located in the village of Carew Newton and is within easy walking distance from Carew Castle, Tidal Mill and of course Carew Inn.

The interior incorporates natural slate floors and hardwood floor on the ground floor, with carpeted bedrooms. All the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, one with a large modern free-standing bath. The Chapel interior features 19 foot high ceilings together with a internal balcony area. A cast iron wood burner is the central feature of the lounge area and adds to the overall atmosphere of the interior.

There is a large kitchen area which was originally the Vestry and features large glazed doors opening out onto a large decking area, small garden with lovely views over the surrounding countryside.

Ein traumhafter Urlaub in einem besonderen Gebäude
Trotz sehr durchwachsenem Wetter hatten wir 2 perfekte Urlaubswochen. Das Haus ist ideal für Ausflüge / Wanderungen in South/Westwales und für 4-6 Personen sehr geräumig. Peter hat aus dem alten Gemäuer sehr gelungen ein cooles und besonderes Ferienzuhause geschaffen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter ist sehr herzlich und unkompliziert. Wir wären gerne noch ganz lang geblieben.

Great & special place to stay
We have had a great stay in the Chapel with 3 persons. Obviously we had plenty of space, given it is rated for 6. But even with 6 there is still so much living area! And of course, given it is a Chapel, it has a special atmosphere. The area is very quiet, with only 3-4 cars coming by in a day. The house is very well equipped. Nice bedrooms. Decent bathrooms/showers. Kitchen is very large. Please mind there are 2 small refrigerators which provide plenty of space, but you will have to bend over to reach them. Nice patio, although the planks bend a bit when walking on them, but you get used to it. All in all, we have had a very good stay and would recommend this to anyone visiting Pembrokeshire. Some comments/remarks/tips: + Do not leave the bedroom windows open during day, as birds may find their way in and do "droppings". + The bed in the master bedroom upstairs is "romantically" small but appears to be quiet unstable and "creaky". I would put in a much better bed. The other beds are much better. + The only thing we did miss a bit was a machine dryer, which was a bit miscommunicated in the VBRO text as dryer, which according to the owner meant "drying rack".

Excellent property in an idyllic location
All three generations of our party loved this conversion of a former chapel..The accommodation was light, spacious and tastefully furnished. It was also clean, well equipped and maintained and all bedrooms having their own en-suite was a definite bonus. The sunny outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying the quiet location but only a short walk from the beautiful Carew Castle, village shop and pub. A short drive took us to the lovely local beaches and Tenby.

A very pleasant stay was had by all!
The property was clean and well maintained and as it was south facing we had sun on the patio all day. The location of the property was very peaceful and also great as it was only a short walk to a lovely castle and mill and a super pub which served tasty food. Nearby was the Pembrokeshire coast and it's excellent beaches.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Forse

Host profile image
I have worked within the commercial interiors industry for the past 25 years and I've always been interested in the restoration of buildings. Restoring The Chapel was a wonderful experience as the building was falling into disrepair.

Why they chose this property

I was born in Pembrokeshire and even though I now live in the South East my heart belongs to West Wales. My old school friend Anthony introduced me to the building one day on the way back from being at Barrafundle beach. I immediately fell in love with the place and the hamlet of Carew Newton being located so close to Carew Castle and the Cleddau Estuary.

What makes this property unique

The Chapel is beautifully situated overlooking the countryside around Carew.
