1 The Chapel is part of a converted Methodist chapel in the peaceful hamlet of Rinsey. It is surrounded by countryside and is a short walk from Rinsey Cove, the South West Coast Path and Wheal Prosper, a restored engine house on the cliffs. This distinctive property is well located for exploring the west coast of Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula. Porthleven, well known nowadays for its restaurants and pubs, is a 10-minute drive away in one direction and Praa is an 8-minute drive in the other. Both can be reached by the coastal path should you choose to walk.

This beautifully presented holiday home is stylishly decorated with excellent attention to detail. On the ground floor, the open-plan kitchen/dining room is well equipped for all your self-catering needs and has a Mediterranean vibe with terracotta tiled floors. Upstairs, the comfortable dual aspect living room makes the most of the excellent views. The bedroom is furnished with a super king-sized bed*, chest of drawers and bedside tables. This pretty room has deep windowsills framing the sea views. The first floor also has a bathroom/WC with a shower over the bath.

Step outside and the style continues into the pretty lawned garden with a table and benches – a perfectly lovely spot to relax. There is a designated parking space at the property.

The accommodation is a conversion of an old chapel. The layout works very well for a holiday let, with the kitchen and dining areas downstairs, and the remainder of the accommodation, including the lounge, on the first floor with good views. The accommodation was well equipped and sensibly furnished.

Despite the terrible weather, we enjoyed our week at no.1 The Chapel. The property is well appointed. The only thing we had to move was the sofa. As it was sideways on to the TV, a stiff neck would have resulted from leaving it in that position. We moved it so that we were facing it straight ahead. Had the weather been less inclement, it may not Read morehave been an issue! Hide

No 1 The Chapel is a very impressive property, ideally situated for both walking and exploring this wonderful part of Cornwall. Directly on the coastal path with beautiful sea views and with easy access to the local beaches of Rinsey, Hendra and Praa. The layout of the property is extremely well thought out, in particular the lounge being tastefullRead morey renovated and on the first floor, affording great sea views. The owners have clearly thought of everything and the kitchen in particular, had all that was needed for our weeks stay, with no need to buy any additional items, so often lacking in other properties. My husband and i have had an extremely relaxing and peaceful week and I'm sure we will return in the near future. Hide
