Lorenz. This was our second stay at the Old Chapel. It is a cosy and very comfortable home in a very quiet and peaceful village in a stunning part of Wharfedale. Very easy to get to other towns in the Dale, but masses of stunning walks from the front door. Antony and Becky are very responsive hosts. I am pretty sure we will be back again.

Jess. We had a a fabulous weekend in Buckden! The house was just perfect and had everything we needed! Brilliant for cosy evenings in after a long day out walking! Buckden is a lovely village to stay with fantastic walks on the door step and several pubs within walking distance (if you want to eat it’s best to book) - exactly what we were after for a relaxing weekend away! Will definitely be back! Antony and Becky were great hosts and responded super quick to messages, their instructions were really clear and we didn’t need to ask anything extra!

Kimberley. Antony and Becky were brilliant hosts! They responded quickly and were nothing but friendly and helpful. We had the best stay at the old chapel! Felt like a second home. Walks were incredible with lots of lovely local pubs. Area was stunning and so peaceful. We are already looking at dates to go back. Thank you for a lovely break!

Paul. What a beautiful cottage in such a lovely, quaint setting. Thank you for the welcome (bottle of) Prosecco. The Netflix was a Godsend, especially on the days when we were stuck inside the cottage because of the horrible weather. And when the rain did stop, it was great that the pub was just around the corner so we can enjoy a few drinks in their beer garden and make the most of the setting sun’s rays. It is within driving distance to a lot of the other lovely villages in the Dales. You need to try the food at The Bluebell Inn at Kettlewell. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, the living room was nice and cosy. The garden is also beautiful, shame we couldn’t enjoy it more (bet it would’ve been nice to sit out when the sun is shining and it wasn’t raining). Thank you to Antony and Becky for being such gracious and lovely hosts. Would definitely recommend staying in this beautiful gem in Buckden.

Garrett. Where do we begin. Everything about this place is incredible. Stunning location, Breathtaking views throughout the area, perfect accommodation. Full kitchen with all the essentials required to cook full meals. Spacious bathroom, cozy living room, and comfortable dining area. Our family of 3 felt as if we were staying in our own home. A separate upstairs offered a great place for our 9 month old son to sleep while my wife and I could enjoy watching tv or reading downstairs. We had a wonderful stay and only wished that it could have lasted longer. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay in the dales.

Sara. Fantastic cottage, exactly as described. Well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Lots of walks in the area without the need of a car. Sampled the beers at the local pubs but not the food which others told us is amazing. Loved it so much we plan to return and explore more

Rhiannon. One of the nicest holiday properties we have ever stayed in. Comfortable, artfully decorated and wonderfully equipped. So cosy and with such a well equipped kitchen, we chose to eat in to enjoy it. The position is fantastic for great walks, from the doorstep or within a short drive. The Buck Inn is a stone’s throw away and great for a pre-dinner drink or a meal. Can’t recommend the Old Chapel highly enough. Will definitely hope to stay here again on our return to the Dales.

Suzanne. We've just returned from a wonderful week staying at The Old Chapel. The accommodation is cosy, spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything you need. The views from the chapel are amazing and the walks breathtaking. We parked the car up and walked straight from the chapel every day. The scenery is just outstanding with beautiful walks taking in some great pubs too. We've fallen in love with this part of the world and hope to return. Thanks for a wonderful week Antony and Becky.

Karen S. We loved our stay at The Chapel. The property was superb in every way and in a perfect location for walking. We were blessed with good weather and were able to enjoy so many walks from the doorstep.
The neighbours were all very friendly. We discovered a lovely deli at Kettlewell, just before the car park on the other side of the road and made a special trip to Kilnsey trout farm to pick up some excellent fresh trout.
It was a much needed holiday and provided everything we were looking for.

Michael B.Very comfortable and tastefully furnished property discreetly tucked away in a quiet remote village in the heart of the Dales.
The owners present the chapel to very high standards indeed and pay great attention to detail. A very homely and charming place. Really cosy and it snowed when we were there as well.
If you are looking for something out of the way this is a great place to unwind. We loved everything about the place and the elderly guy in the house behind is really nice to chat with.
Very highly recommended

Ed E.The Old Chapel proved ideal accommodation for my wife and I in one of our all time favourite parts fo the world. There are 2 bedrooms, so 4 people could stay, although we felt that might be a little crowded, but for the 2 of us it was ideal.

The cottage is very well equipped to a high standard throughout. We were a little concerned at the prospect of electric heating, especially as we were in Buckden in late January, but our fears were groundless - the cottage was warm and snug throughout our stay. Needless to say the surrounding countryside is magnificent and there are many beautiful walks to be had from outside the front door and several great pubs within easy reach, the Buck being a short walk away. Travelling as a couple we would recommend the O)ld Chapel without reservation.
