• "We loved our stay at the Chapel."

  The views from the kitchen / living space over the hills were beautiful! There was a lovely walk right from the front gate and with it being less than a 10 minute drive away from Saltburn we made the most of lots of coastal walks too. Perfect location and easy to get to. The front garden was nice and secure for the dogs. And it was lovely and warm inside the chapel too which was so welcoming after a cold day walking! Can’t wait to return.

  Thank you for taking the time to review The Chapel, we’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and made the most of the local area! We’ll look forward to welcoming you back soon, thank you. Property Owner

• "What a beautiful place."

  Home from home comforts, clean, cosy sofas and beds. Kitchen well stocked to cook everything you want, spacious and great for dogs, peaceful and not to far from any shops, lovely views and the chapel was lovely and warm. Would definitely love to come back. One of the loveliest places I've stayed.

  Thank you so much for the lovely review of The Chapel. We’re so pleased you had everything you needed and enjoyed your stay with us. We’ll look forward to welcoming you back soon! Property Owner

• "We had such a relaxing stay at The Chapel."

  Comfortable bed and sofas, all you need in the kitchen and quality fittings throughout. Whilst the parking is on the road this did not cause any issues as there is plenty of space as The Chapel is at the edge of the village and the road is really quiet as it is only local traffic (you can go for 15mins in the day without seeing a car and even longer at night!). Great walks from the door, you can even walk to the beach. Lovely local dog friendly beaches and the area is really set up for walkers and dog owners. The only slight problem we had was the shared entrance path although that was only because next door left the gate open a few times although the garden itself is secure and, as I say, the road is really quiet – this, however, did not cause a problem and would not stop us returning to The Chapel. The Chapel was lovely and clean and has a neat, uncluttered finish which is easy to keep clean. Neil, the owner, was great and got back to us really quickly when we had a little query. Beautiful, unique property in a gorgeous, quiet setting and close to facilities should you need them.

  Thank you for taking the time to review The Chapel, we appreciate all our guests feedback. We’re so pleased you had a lovely relaxing stay with us and you enjoyed the exploring our lovely area. Hopefully we can welcome you back in the future for some much needed R&R! Property Owner

  Lovely walks to left and right .didn't get to do all as weather and joung granddaughter. Rang the owner re heating. He ran straight back and came in half hour and put it on for us and very pleasant.

  Thank you for the positive feedback, we’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay. As you say just a shame about the weather, at least it was cozy and dry in the Chapel. Hopefully we can welcome you back sometime so you can explore the area a little more and hopefully get some sunshine! Property Owner

  So quiet, loved sitting out on an early evening in the sun with a nice rose. Really comfy bed too. A great base for plenty of trips to neighbouring places.

• "This property is just stunning, spotlessly clean, well equipped and well positioned in a beautiful tranquil hamlet just outside Saltburn."

  It’s one of those places that I know I’ll visit again because it really is that lovely. It’s literally 4 mins drive into Saltburn so very handy - but its location makes you feel you’re in the middle of nowhere. Plenty on road parking, full information pack too which was really helpful. If there are 6 (or 5) then it’s worth knowing you have to pass through the twin room to get to the king room. We were fine due to the makeup of our party but I think it’s something worth being aware of.

  Thank you for the positive feedback, we’re really pleased The Chapel lived up to your expectations and you enjoyed exploring the lovely area we’re in. We have taken your comment onboard re: the layout of the third bedroom and have asked for this to be added to the listing to hopefully help future guests. Thank you once again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

• "A perfect place to stay - beautiful property, spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds with nicely laundered good quality bedding."

  The lounge and kitchen are faultless - large areas that have been smartly decorated to make one feel really at home. The location makes it easy to access the North York Moors National Park, nearly seaside resorts and villages. The property sits in a quiet location with great views of surrounding countryside. The lane it sits in is very Miss Marple - like, with lovely cottages and church buildings. A lane that is very safe and convenient for walking dogs. We were so pleased with the property and its location that we have booked it for a week at Christmas.

  Thank you very much for the great review. I’m pleased you found the village as charming as we do. It’s even more special during the festive period. We look forward to welcoming you back for Christmas, rest assured a warm welcome awaits. Kind regards Neil Property Owner

  It was a relief to find the garden is perfectly secure for the dogs. Our only reservation would be the poor quality of the Wifi, but we were warned of this and understand it is out of the control of the owners. We'd love to stay again next year, either in the Chapel or in the cottage nextdoor. Thankyou for a great holiday.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback, we really appreciate it. You’ll be pleased to know we are finally able to upgrade our WiFi and have an engineer booked as we speak.

  The garden is lovely and well-enclosed so great for the dogs. We were 3 couples with 2 dogs and the Chapel afforded us a superb base for exploring the coast, the North York Moors, and visiting/entertaining other family members. The only minor niggles were : * one bedroom is accessed through another bedroom * no cafetiere * poor internet Did these spoil our holiday? Not one jot. Thank you for creating such a haven for the harried holidaymaker.

• "Outstanding property!"

  Beautiful views! Peaceful location! The only tiny little niggles we encountered was the shower basin was a little slippy so we used a hand towel inside to prevent my elderly mother from slipping! Some suction holders inside the shower would be nice for shower gels etc Due to heavy rain the flag stones surrounding the property became slippy, needing a clean. Honestly though. This is the best property that myself and my family have stayed in so far, comparing value for money and location.

  Very comfortable, very quiet (Upleatham's single road is a dead end, so no through traffic) and well equipped, with internet access via a BT mini hub. For the two of us and our dawg, it was the perfect place to relax in. Upleatham is small, but Saltburn is less than three miles away. In addition to the usual shops, it has some good restaurants and cafes, as well as a large park with a lot of woodland trails, including a section of the Cleveland Way. Unhesitatingly and unreservedly recommended - and a place we hope to return to. Jim & Ros

• "The listing described an enclosed garden as did the photographs."

  There was infact a shared walkway and our neighbours had access to the garden because of the placement to the bins. The property backs onto farm buildings, noise effects our reactive dog, I deliberately did not chose aproperty on a farm... . One of our dogs is reactive and perfectly behaved indoors however having an enclosed private garden was important to us because he is very frightened of people and other dogs. Considering the cost of the cottage the welcome pack..a pint of milk and a packet of biscuits was somewhat underwhelming. The web site describes amazing views from the bedrooms...all the windows are skylight windows so this is not the case and nowhere was it mentioned where to find the poles to close these widows...we found the poles on day 3......hanging on the side of the wardrobe in a bedroom we were not using. In order to access the master bedroom you had to go through another bedroom..again not mentioned. I think that the cottage information definitely needs updating. Great hygiene and kitchen and lots of snacks for the dogs

  Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that you've had so many issues during your stay at The Chapel. It was for this reason that i contacted you by telephone to discuss your concerns after receiving your feedback in our guest book. Just to clarify The Chapel is not situated on a working farm. The property is a converted Chapel located in a small rural village. There are cows in a field on the opposite side of the road to us and a local villager keeps a single cow and it's calf in a small enclosure to the rear of the property. Many of our guests enjoy this rural feel to the place, I'm sorry this wasn't the case for you. As I explained on the telephone having livestock nearby in a rural location is quite common. I'm very sorry this was an issue for your reactive dog. It may have been useful for you to contact me prior to your arrival to let me know the strict criteria you needed for a holiday home in order to meet your dogs needs. This way I could have explained our location and tried my best to accommodate you and answer any questions prior to your stay. The Chapel is obviously a listed building so the renovation had its restrictions which is why there are skylights in the upstairs room. The website listing does state there are skylights in the property. The views can be seen from the original church windows downstairs. I do hope you managed to enjoy them during your stay. Once again I'm sorry you did not find the poles to access the velux windows until later in your stay. My number was available in the property for you to contact me at anytime, I'd have been happy to help if you'd have let me know you were having issues. There is a shared path to the front door of the property however both The Chapel and it's neighboring property have separate, secure gardens. The wheelie bins can also be reached from a side gate if needs be so, no need for shared access if this was a problem. A Welcome packs as such aren't something we provide however, complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, milk & biscuits are always left for our guests, along with coffee pods for the coffee machine. Dog biscuits and treats are also left for pets. Once again I'm sorry to read your feedback, it's just unfortunate you didn't let me know any of your problems whilst you were at the property. I'm not sure I could have helped with the issues regarding your dog as there are other animals and people nearby in the village. However I'm sure some of the other things you mention could have been resolved had I known. Once again, thank you for your comments Property Owner

• "I think that you mislead us with the description of the property."

  There was no mention of one of the bedrooms accessed through one of the other bedrooms. This is very deceptive in my opinion and we had to tiptoe past our sleeping children when we needed the bathroom. You should clearly state the layout. The property was beautifully done but not described properly in your advert. If we knew this we would not have booked. I believe you have done this on purpose to attract more customers thinking they are getting a 3 bed property when if fact it could never be sold as a 3 bedder. Very sneaky.

  Dear Mr Pearce, I’m very sorry you were disappointed with the layout of the bedrooms in the property. I can assure you there was nothing “sneaky” with regards to the description written by the Sykes team. The Chapel does have three bedrooms. The master bedroom is private. You do then pass through the twin room to get to the third bedroom. This has not been an issue for any of our other guests as many of them travel with family and friends who don’t see this as a problem. I’m very sorry you were dissatisfied with this. The Chapel is a listed building which meant we were limited to what we could do with regards to the layout and we wanted to maximise the use of space. All three bedrooms are very spacious and can be made private due to the doors separating them. I’m surprised to hear you were so dissatisfied as when we met each other you seemed very happy with the property and your stay. I do hope you still enjoyed your time with us.
