Dunsley Chapel at Sandsend

Beautiful property in lovely gardens

We were only there for 3 nights ! ☺️

The character, the open plan space and the ability to have front and back doors open and people coming in and out was brilliant.

The downstairs double bedroom had a very strong unpleasant smell. I thought originally it was a cat smell but after investigating we realised the mop bucket and hoover that were in the cupboard were the cause of the stink. We put them by the door to the patio and opened windows. We had to buy air fresheners and it took at least 3 days for the smell to dissipate. Also, the shower in the en suite did not work. The carpets also seem very dirty which we realise is inevitable when a property is used so much but wood flooring would be better.

It's a wonderful place to stay, especially if you have a large family. Lots of cutlery and crockery, and it had been cleaned up to a good standard. The beds were comfortable, and thankfully the whole house stayed cool. It was 24 degrees outside, but lovely and cool inside.

We couldn't get the shower to work in the ensuite ground floor bedroom. Also, the area leading to the garden would be better laminated or tiled as the cream carpet needed hoovering daily to clear up the grass and leaves brought in on footwear. Still, a very enjoyable stay. .

The location is stunning and the building itself has been restored really well. The main kitchen/ living area is great for entertaining a large group. The enclosed garden is a safe space for children and dogs. The beds were comfy apart from one. The decor and furniture is tasteful

It felt very unloved. There were cobwebs around the doors and windows. The garden furniture was dirty and strewn around the place. One of the outside spaces was overgrown with nettles. The main bedroom cupboard was rammed full of stuff including a Christmas tree so we had to empty it in order to hang clothes up. One of the single bed mattresses was very uncomfortable with a big hole in it. This has been mentioned on other reviews and not been replaced. Little things like providing washing up cloths and coffee pods would have been nice. One tea towel for 7 people over 3 nights is not enough. The freezer was dirty with the remnants of some melted ice cream. It’s a shame because one of these things is acceptable but all together left us feeling we had been ripped off especially having to pay a £200 cleaning charge for our stay!
