Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Having been to this property a number of times, we feel some things are getting tired and need some maintenance attention, I left a note of a few items to be sorted , these issues did not affect the great time we had , this property is so Christmas that’s we love going there and would recommend it to anyone, but the issues need attention for future guests to enjoy how fantastic Chapel house is ."
Thankyou for your comments and Susie and I are always pleased to see when you re-book your Christmas week here at Chapel House. I am sorry that you found some maintenance issues but I appreciate being told about them. The outside garden light is now working and the master bedroom radiator is fully hot as well. Be assured that I am very concerned with the maintenance of this unique and much-loved property and will try to keep it looking fresh and different for your next visit

"This has been the holiday to spoil all others!"
Honestly, the best holiday rental we have ever had. I have never paid so much for a holiday in the UK before but believe me, it was worth every single penny. An amazing conversion with everything to the highest spec, spotlessly clean, fabulous welcome basket - honestly, as a family we wanted for nothing. If you are looking for the freedom of a self catering holiday whilst being spoilt by your surroundings, this is the place for you.
I’m very glad that you enjoyed your holiday here and hope to see you again

"Very likely."
Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed as a family. Superb property. Immaculately presented . Ideal space for 6 adults including accessible showers and ground floor bedrooms. Pleasant outdoor space and very well equipped. Only one concern is that parking for two cars could be a little tight but this should not distract from staying in a wonderful property.
Thank you for that lovely feedback. I agree that today’s wider cars mean that parking for 2 cars can be tight. We’re looking into ways of improving this

"We were welcomed to the house and shown round by Susie, which was a lovely introduction."
Everything we needed was there for us and a lovely welcome pack. The house is beautifully decorated, with lovely attention to detail and with reference to the house's history as a chapel. It was perfect for our lovely family holiday (all adults).
The only problem was finding the BBQ gas bottle empty, but this was a one off and if we had noticed earlier in our stay I am sure it would have been replaced straight away.
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed staying at Chapel House and many apologies for the gas bottle for the BBQ running out. Now replaced.

"Our second visit to Chapel House - this time under different ownership."
We were concerned things may not be as fantastic as our first visit. Delighted to report it was! Lovely welcome from Susie, the housekeeper. Lovely welcome pack. Spotless throughout Five star again!
Only one tiny bit of negative feedback - check out is 10 am and checkin for the next lucky guests is 3 pm so we were rather disappointed to have gardeners mowing and strimming the gardens from 8.30 am while we were having breakfast in the garden. Maybe this could be done in the 5 hour handover time?
Thanks for suggesting that gardening should take place after checkout time. I’ll make sure this happens in future and I’m sorry that it spoilt your last breakfast outside. Glad though to hear that you once again enjoyed your stay at Chapel House and thankyou for the very positive feedback

Susie the Housekeeper was wonderful, and especially helpful when the smoke alarm started beeping due to a battery needing replacement. She organised for the handyman to call round & it was fixed within an hour or so of our call to her. Excellent service.

Easy access from the chapel to shops, tourist destinations and the lovely beaches. Many thanks for a great holiday!

"Chapel House is a stunning building that has been cleverly converted into a comfortable and welcoming holiday home."
We particularly enjoyed the bright, light, open plan living spaces, the cosy snug and the sun trap garden. The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances worked perfectly (although it would have been nice to have a bit more worktop space for preparation). The only real negative was a lack of recycling facilities: whilst there were separate recycling bins inside the house, we were told everything gets collected together. As avid recyclers at home, that was surprising and disappointing. Apart from that this really is a top class property in a stunning location. We would highly recommend it.
I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay at Chapel House. Thank you for your remarks about recycling. We recycle glass and newspapers but will look again at how we can do a separate collection for card and cans

The only thing I would
Say is it would be nice to have a key safe somewhere that as guests we can use to pop a key in and don’t need to take out with us as we did a lot
Of walking and to the beach etc so we were worried about loosing it.

The large window above the stairs was very impressive. The log burner really heated the chapel up on an autumn evening and made the place very cosy. Shame the chapel didn’t have a coffee machine which you would expect in a luxury property. The parking for two cars was too tight. You wouldn’t fit two family cars in and be able to alight your vehicle. Getting in and out of the parking spaces onto the lane was arduous.

"We have stayed at Chapel House before and even with the new restrictions in place - sarah made us feel incredibly welcome and the place was incredibly clean and tidy."
The house is beautiful. The area is lovely and all in all we had a wonderful time.
The only reason that i am unsure whether i would book again is not because of the house but the way that Sykes initially handled the pandemic. So i am not confident that they are the best company to book through - first refused refunds / date change, then refused refunds and only allowed certain date changes which cost people more, then refused a refund if you had changed your date. This was only after excessive pressure from Martin Lewis and the government.
So Sykes you get 5/10. Sarah and Chapel house get 100/10 because the property itself is honestly amazing.

Ideal for those seeking a mix of coast and country, Chale is a picturesque farming village, nestled at the foot of St Catherine’s Down on the south coast of the Isle of Wight. The village itself offers an award-winning pub/restaurant with an excellent children’s play area, and breathtaking coastal and downland walks, especially to the 35ft-tall octagonal tower ‘St Catherine's Oratory’, locally known as the Pepper Pot. This medieval lighthouse was built in 1312 and is believed to be one of the oldest in Britain. The area of National Trust land around the Pepper Pot is a walker's and birdwatcher’s paradise, as the birds can be observed at eye level. Outstanding sunsets looking towards The Needles are quite a sight. Nearby you'll discover some of the island’s best sandy beaches, perfect for swimming, surfing and of course fossil collecting, where you might even discover the odd dinosaur footprint or two.

Experience royal family life as you tour the nursery and private rooms of Victoria and Albert and their children. Wonder at the magnificence of the Royal Apartments including the sumptuous drawing and dining rooms, and the Indian-inspired Dubar Room. Stunning grounds looking out onto The Solent can be explored via a horse-drawn carriage or on foot.
