The Old Chapel - Slad Valley near Stroud | Cottage in Slad

Seeing The Old Chapel for the first time is an awe-inspiring moment. Sitting above the rolling green valley famously immortalised by Laurie Lee in Cider with Rosie, the chapel is framed in wisteria with rose windows, small turrets and a collection of headstones which lie to the front. It is unlike anywhere you will have stayed before.
Feeling at home as soon as you arrive, the spacious and light rooms are highlighted with finely curated decor. The living room offers a choice of seating where you can either watch a film or chat amongst friends over a competitive game of chess. Open the doors on sunny days for a gentle breeze, or light the fire to keep any evening chills at bay. Original arch windows frame the dining area in the kitchen/diner and the clever conversion makes the kitchen spacious and a delight to cook in. A snug with beanbag seating and its own TV and a handy utility round out the ground floor with more than enough room for family living. The charm of this old chapel continues upstairs where you can peek out circular windows and duck under exposed beams in the bedrooms. With double rooms, a single and a flexible family bedroom all groups are accommodated for, and nobody will feel hard done by as each room is equally inviting.
Step out onto the terrace where a BBQ and garden games are a must. The lawn stretches before you with a trampoline for the little ones and a picnic bench perfectly set to make the most of the surrounding landscape. To the front of The Old Chapel the quaint headstones sit on the bank of a steep incline, hidden from view when inside. Spending time listening to the birdsong in the gardens is as appealing as relaxing indoors and you'll leave with a camera roll full of new memories.
