About this property

Characterful Conversion of a Former Chapel in Nidderdale

Woodmanwray Chapel is a newly converted former chapel. Originally built in 1839, it now provides stylish and comfortable accommodation for up to 6 people in a peaceful location in beautiful Nidderdale. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and downstairs there is a large open plan living area with a double sofa bed, dining area and comfortable seating. The kitchen and utility rooms are separate and well equipped. A travel cot and high chair are available on request. The Chapel has been thoughtfully furnished to create a home from home whatever the time of year. It is well insulated with underfloor heating and a log burning stove, for cosy evenings whatever the weather. There is plenty of enclosed outdoor space for ball games and picnics and room to park several cars. Secure storage for bikes is available in a locked bike shed. Nidderdale is a quiet and attractive base for walking and cycling holidays, yet it is only a short car ride from Harrogate with its many amenities. Excellent food shops and restaurants are within easy reach in Pateley Bridge and there are several local pubs within a 10 minute drive.

Fantastic property in a fantastic location!
The Chapel has been converted to an exceptionally high standard and was spotlessly clean. It's a beautiful part of the world and we couldn't have wished for a more relaxing trip. Highly recommend.

Half Term Short Break
We Really enjoyed staying at this property, it’s location attracted us to it at first and it didn’t disappoint, everywhere we wanted to visit was just a short drive away but the location of the chapel meant we got the remote and peaceful break we craved. Alison’s communication pre visit meant we arrived with the house set up perfectly to accommodate us and teenage daughters that joined for the first part of the visit. On arrival the welcome pack was a very nice touch and something we valued. The house is very well equipped with all items you will require for a cosy stay. This review will never to the place justice so will Summarise with, we will definitely be looking at a return visit in the near future

Wonderful Weekend
The Chapel is simply stunning - warm, welcoming and deceptively spacious, all in beautiful scenery. The chapel was incredibly well stocked with everything you would need to enjoy a home away from home, the welcome supplies were fantastic (proper Yorkshire Tea included). It was perfect for 2 couples, having separate bedrooms and bathrooms. I can’t recommend it highly enough and both couples will be looking to return in the near future.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Simpson

Host profile image
My name is Alison Simpson and I live with my family on a neighbouring farm. If you come to Woodmanwray Chapel you will probably meet some of our farm animals! You may well see our sheepdogs being trained and we will certainly bring you some of our eggs.
We are really proud of the Chapel and hope that all of our visitors will love it as much as we do.
We think you will find that Nidderdale is a great place to visit.

Why they chose this property

Its a great location as its really quiet and peaceful, yet there is lots to do just a short drive away. Harrogate with its restaurants and shops is only a 20 minute drive away and from there you can take a train to the amazing city of York. Nidderdale offers charming scenery, lots of 'foodie' shops and friendly people. There are ideas for walks and cycle rides in the cottage and for kids of all ages there are gorges to walk, rocks to climb and rivers to paddle in.

What makes this property unique

Although the Chapel is completely modernised it still retains a lot of its original charm in the stained glass windows and stone sun porch.
