While guests have expressed satisfaction with the property and the owner's helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
Tucked away in the attractive South Wiltshire village of Whiteparish is this former Wesleyan chapel, which dates back to 1859 and is now a beautifully converted holiday cottage. The light and airy interior of this detached Whiteparish holiday cottage offers families or groups of friends a very different, yet comfortable holiday experience. The spacious open plan living area containing a kitchen, dining area and sitting area of this Whiteparish holiday cottage was created from the 1903 memorial school, retaining its wooden floors and row of children's coat pegs, whilst the body of the chapel features the original pulpit and combines not only a further sitting area but also offers a full size snooker table, table tennis, table football, keyboard and piano! A great social space for all the family to enjoy! Outside, there is a small rear patio area. Conveniently situated, this Whiteparish cottage is just a short stroll from the well-stocked local shop, Post Office and friendly village pub, ideal for taking refreshment after your busy day exploring. This Whiteparish holiday cottage benefits from good local transport links, which take you to many places of interest; visit Lord Mountbatten's Broadlands estate, admire Mottisfont Abbey, Salisbury and Winchester cathedrals or Stonehenge. Explore the picturesque New Forest National Park, whilst the younger members of your group will enjoy Paultons Family Theme Park or The Rapids in Romsey. This Whiteparish chapel offers visitors a most unusual holiday destination to be enjoyed whatever the weather!
Whiteparish is a charming village which is situated on the Wiltshire side of the Wiltshire/Hampshire border. The village can be reached by a short drive south from the city of Salisbury and north from the pretty Hampshire town of Romsey, which is well-known for the 'Broadlands' house.

We had a good time but the property does need a good clean presentation not very good, towels left in a pile by the boiler not sure if they were clean or not. Apart from the cleanliness issues it is a great place for celebrations lots of space.

What a place to stay In â¤ï¸ absolutely perfect loved how big and spacious it was kids absolutely loved the games room entertained them for hours ( and the men :) ) Could be a bit cleaner a lot of dust sticky work tops and a dirty oven and dirty towels but nothing that we couldn't rectify ourselves :) We would definitely come back again Only thing I would recommend if your from Wales used bottled water for making baby bottles ect as the water is a bit harder apart from that we had an amazing time
