Lovely airy space, really gorgeous setting. The shower is AMAZING. Everything you need: wifi, dish washer, DVDs that kept my kids quiet. Bedroom over looks the main living space and so you can see out of the amazing church windows from the bedroom. Completely deserted beach 20 minutes walk from the building, perfect for swimming. Total silence at night time, bliss after coming from noisy London. Flocks of rabbits amongst the grave stones have been entertaining to watch.

We stayed at this accommodation after an overseas trip was cancelled.. It was a most worthy replacement. Some excellent coastal walks in the area and coming back to the comfort of this place was a real bonus. The church has been converted to a very high standard and was both warm and welcoming. Really, we could not find anything amiss.

What a charming little church to stay in, with plenty of character but very modern interior.. Had a wonderful stay, even though the weather wasn't the greatest.

Accommodation is private, peaceful, well equipped and comfortable.. Loved watching the rabbits in the fields around the church. The coastal path is stunning and we had a great time on the beach at Hell’s Mouth - super surfing!

We chose to travel there, because we wanted to visit the most beautiful of Wales, to walk along the coast and in the mountains, to spend some lazy hours at the beach, to visit some of the castles that we used to know from pictures only and also to try the regional food.. We had all these things and our holidays - the first in Great Britain - were both interesting and relaxing.

Miss Hamer

June 2017

Had a lovely relaxing break at this beautiful converted chapel, their were plenty of lovely places to visit near by however we had terrible weather so it was a good job that the chapel was so lovely to stay in .. We loved the graveyard which was much bigger than we thought and under the full moon with the wind blowing it became very atmospheric. June 2017

The property is stunning and in a beautiful location.. It is an excellent base to use to explore North Wales from. The church is secluded and a relaxing getaway. We were lucky with the September weather being kind to us and even managed a bbq one night. Would recommend to friends and family.

Ms Reid

This Chapel is a great place to use as a base to explore the nearby countryside and its attractions.. This is truly a unique holiday home and everything was thought of. The neighbours were quiet and did not bother us at all (graves) - the horses and sheep in the nearby fields were lovely. All in all we had a fantastic holiday and would certainly re-book this unique Chapel again.

Dodsie

Had a wonderful week in this beautiful, converted church. Very comfortable and with everything you need. Took a little getting used to no curtains/blinds for my husband - he obviously thought the local horses, sheep and rabbits were peeping toms!!! I think curtains would have spoilt the effect of the simple décor. Loved the furnishings and mezzanine fittings. Directions and instructions were perfect and the local area stunning. Be aware, if you need to keep in touch with home or work the signal is not great and no Wi-Fi though on a positive note, it made us choose carefully who and what to answer.

The best cottage we have ever had all over Europe - regarding all aspects!

Ms Randeria

August 2014

Absolutely wonderful! The owner was very helpful with the directions as it is a little tucked away which adds to its charm. When you enter the church for the first time we were amazed by its design and style. We actually couldn't believe our good fortune and I didn't want to leave. The church is very well equipped, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. The furnishings are of a very high quality and the whole place is comfortable and welcoming.

Mrs Robinson

Beautiful setting, plenty of room and it was very clean and comfortable. Excellent facilities - like home from home.

Miss Baker

April 2014

The church was lovely, very clean, warm and tastefully decorated. Loved the location, there was plenty to explore in the area, including Criccieth and Harlech castles, Llanbedrog and Abersoch beaches. A lovely base for coastal walks or just to chill out, relax and get away from it all.

Mrs Pike

Very good position for getting to all the walks on the peninsular, and very private dwelling. The owners have done a very good conversion of the Chapel, keeping the essence of its history without over doing it.

Ms Oates

Fantastic property, lovingly renovated and furnished, and in a great location. Loved our weekend there and we'll definitely be returning. Can't recommend it highly enough.

We've just returned from a long weekend at Eglwys St Cynfil, and had a fantastic time. The chapel has been lovingly refurbished to a very high standard, with great facilities throughout. There wasn't anything that hadn't be thought of, and really was a home away from home. Location wise, it's a great spot to explore all the Llyn Peninsular has to offer. With views from the property overlooking the mountains on one side, and the sea on the horizon on the other, it was truly perfect. Situated approximately a 5 minute drive from Llanbedrog, and 10 minute drive from Pwllheli, and 5 minutes from the nearest beach, accessibility couldn't have been better. The owners were fantastic during the booking process, and offered a courtesy call before we departed to walk though the key pick ups etc, and also followed up with a courtesy message whilst we were there. We were very well looked after. I really can't rate this property highly enough, and we will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you!
