Guests say
The Old Chapel in Driffield is a charming and peaceful cottage, highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and secure garden, making it ideal for couples and dog owners. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches from the host and the property's proximity to scenic walks and local amenities.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and comfortable, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard of upkeep.
The location is appreciated for its peace and proximity to the coast and local amenities, though one guest mentioned it was unexpectedly close to a road. The rural setting on a working farm adds to its charm.
Reviewers find the cottage comfortable, highlighting the quality of the bed and the conservatory as relaxing spaces. The presence of a secure garden adds to the comfort for dog owners.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a fantastic shower and well-equipped kitchen. However, a couple of minor maintenance issues, such as a broken blind and the need for an outside tap, prevent a perfect score.
Guests are pleased with the thoughtful extras provided, such as wine, biscuits, and milk. While these are appreciated, it's important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed with every stay.

This is a lovely, peaceful retreat which is ideal for a couple with or without dogs. The secure garden is perfect for sitting outside and watching the world go by. Wendy is an excellent host who is available for any queries. We would definitely return, hopefully in the near future.

Cottage wasn't what I expected as actually at the side of a road, but lovely inside with a fairly decent sized enclosed garden so ideal for dogs.Bed extremely comfortable, only drawback was size of the spiders that came into the room in the evening!Fish and chips from Brandsburton the nearest village were really tasty and amenities were good but you have to travel about 2/ 3 miles to get there
