Stunning seaside stay
We loved everything about our stay. We’ve stayed in several different Runswick cottages over the years and this was a firm favourite. Beautiful open space downstairs, comfy beds and a great shower! Runswick bay is such a special place, thank you for helping us to make more very happy memories here.

About the host

Hosted by Phil McNeelance

Host profile image
We purchased High Chapel in 2003 as a closed Methodist chapel and set about carefully and tastefully converting the chapel to a practical family holiday home for ourselves and our two daughters. We regularly use High Chapel ourselves and have been renting the cottage for about 4 years now.
We never tire of visiting High Chapel and use it as a tranquil resting place from our hectic lives in the Midlands.
Having said that, we love to sail and swim in the bay and regularly run the coastal path to either staithes or Sandsend as part of our regular fitness training for athletics and triathlon events!

Why they chose this property

We love the uniqueness of Runswick Bay with its traffic free environment surrounded by quaint cottages. The views across the Bay from the chapel are totally relaxing and the morning walk along the beach is just so refreshing.
There are fantastic walks from the chapel or a short car journey to Whitby provides ample retail therapy when required!
Runswick Bay is a quiet and peaceful location most of the year and the chapel compliments this with it own unique atmosphere.

What makes this property unique

High Chapel is spacious and characterful for entertaining friends or family and the availability of free WiFi ensures contact with the outside world if and when required. The fixtures and fittings are all of a high standard and the log burning stove and underfloor heating provides ample heating and atmosphere for warm and cosy evenings in.
