A beautiful location and The Old Methodist Chapel has been made into a wonderful holiday home. One of the best we have ever stayed in. There is a very small but, the holiday home needs more storage space, especially in the bathrooms, where a shelf here and there would be very useful to place tooth brushes etc., also the bedrooms would benefit with Read moremirrors near a plug socket.

Lovely, spacious , super modern and clean. View from master bedroom super cool. Would have been good for a similar view from the lounge but maybe it wasn't structurally possible. So quick to get to the surrounding touristy stuff like steam train, Scarb, Whitby, Thornton le Dale, Hutton le Hole etc. And wonderfully quirky living in a chapel / church
