Then Sings My Soul

Built in 1821, this converted chapel is now a dreamy stay in the heart of the Cotswolds. From the traditional church piano in the music room to the mezzanine's original altar, you'll find characterful touches everywhere you look – all given a contemporary twist, of course. The A-frame beams, sky-high ceilings, and vast church windows are stunning, but the scenery outdoors is even more impressive. Perched on the edge of the Blackstable Nature Reserve, you'll find miles of woodland trails on your doorstep and Stroud just a ten-minute drive away. But if you ask us, the best way to relax is on the patio, a glass of wine in hand as you admire the sweeping views across Sheepscombe.
