The Old Chapel is a distinctive property and we enjoyed our stay here. The property was comfortable and roomy for a couple, and provided a convenient base for visiting the local area, including the nearest town, Aylsham, which is a lovely place with lots of period properties and independent shops. It's not far to the delights of Holt and the coasRead moret at Sheringham or Cromer. The kitchen is small but has all you need. With the wood burning stove lit the chapel is cosy and charming. Hide
