We stayed here while my husband’s choir “Harmonia Sacra” were in residence in the church. We have loved being based in The Chapel – it is beautiful and so comfortable & quiet. The refurbishment has been done very sympathetically & it is lovely to see this old building having a new lease of life. Having an electric car we appreciated the recharging point – often a problem in very rural areas – and thank you for the welcome gift. We hope to be back!
We have had the loveliest few days in the chapel, the weather has been miserable but it hasn’t mattered as it’s so cosy here! We have our 1 year old with us, and the facilities are just perfect – stair gate, high chair, children’s cutlery – you have really thought of everything. It really is a beautiful place to stay, and it will always be special to us as we also got engaged here this weekend! We will 100% be coming back – a peaceful, homely and welcoming place to stay :). Thank you!
Thanks for a wonderful stay. We love the chapel – you’ve thought of absolutely everything. Such a beautiful area to explore – we’ve had a wonderful few days.
We had a nice week in this chapel, which is an extraordinary place to be! Thank you for making the stay so nice and quiet in the middle of this beautiful landscape.
The chapel is an absolute haven of peace and tranquility. It lived up to the website in every way, which isn’t always the case with holiday accommodation. We were impressed with so many things, but, to put it simply, the holiday was TOTALLY AWESOME!
Charming chapel, enjoyed our stay and watching the world go by.
Wow, what a lovely chapel. Researched St Milburga – fascinating. Found the shrine, babbling brook and historical gate at the bottom of the lane on the bend. Go and find it!
Lovely spacious accommodation for the 2 of us in this delightful little building, set in one of England’s loveliest areas. The sun shone for us, made it a dream few days away.

We are three construction workers from the busy streets of Sheffield, with the usual busy family life, kids, work, all the trimmings. We stop all over the country in all villages, towns, cities etc and in some beautiful places. But.. this home you have created is honestly a little piece of heaven, a slice of perfection, truly perfect, we are not used to peace and quiet but loved very minute here. Not massive walkers but walked every evening. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for our stay, all the best!
Thank you, everything was perfect. EV charger was a bonus and took the hassle out of finding one locally. Appreciated all the local information, especially OS maps, which we used to do a walk from the Chapel, outstanding scenery.
We have had a lovely time here, amazing place, would recommend and made us want a chapel! Thank you.
Thank you, we have had such a wonderful time in the gorgeous chapel. It is so beautifully decorated and the children loved it. We have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area and the information you provided was very useful. Will definitely be recommending to family & friends.
What a wonderful few days we have had at the chapel. So comfortable, relaxing and had everything we needed. We enjoyed it so much we asked to stay an extra night, thanks for accommodating us! A great location for beautiful, scenic walks from the chapel, exploring Ludlow, Clee Hill and Mortimer Forest. We will be back!
Thank you, we have had a lovely three days. This the loveliest cottage we have ever stayed in. We loved the walking and local area.
Beautiful, comforting, everything catered for. Location is gorgeous.
Lovely chapel, modern but still with the feeling of age. Good base for exploring surrounding area. The favourite of our trips was to the Old Mill Antique Centre at Bridgnorth.
Lovely stay thank you, the chapel is a lovely property and had a very comfy stay. I was in the area to visit friends and do some walking – which we managed despite the fog! It made it more atmospheric! Hope to be back.
A beautiful, calm entry to the new year, this was the perfect escape from the city. The chapel was beautiful and had everything we could think of, so thoughtfully stocked. We did lots of relaxing countryside walks and a trip into Ludlow. Thank you for this amazing stay!

What can I say! What a gorgeous property. We would happily live here. Quaint but modern, fully equipped in every sense. Fabulous relaxing stay, we would love to return in the summer. Thank you!
A lovely week in excellent holiday accommodation. Beautiful scenery, excellent walking and good food. We couldn’t have asked for more. The Pheasant at Neenton – excellent Sunday Roast, and Bill’s Kitchen in Ludlow – fabulous ‘meal in a bowl’ at lunchtime.
Thank you for a wonderful stay. The chapel looked beautiful when we arrived and was a great base for exploring Shropshire. We visited the Ironbridge museums, Ludlow and Croft Castle as well as enjoying several walks. We will be recommending the chapel to our friends and family.
A lovely cottage and a beautiful area to stay. Really enjoyed it!
A beautiful cottage & location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and walking in the local area.
We have had a wonderful stay in this lovely converted chapel. Everything top notch. Beautiful scenery and wonderful setting. Returning to our family roots.
The chapel is beautiful and well appointed. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Boyne Arms pub, very welcoming and nice ale on tap. We drove to Hawkstone Park Follies where we spent a fantastic day exploring. Thank you for a relaxing stay.
Another wonderful stay with my sister. Everythings perfect here! We’ll be back.
Fab week! Amazing accommodation, and lovely area. Looking forward to coming again!

Great little property with everything you could need. We had a fabulous post-Christmas stay at the chapel. It is beautifully equipped, warm and comfortable. Thank you very much.
A really magical place to stay. A five star experience. So beautifully decorated with great attention to both style and comfort. The views right from the front door are stunning. We stayed it our two teenage daughters. A luxury place that looks like something out of a movie set. Really very charming and ideal for walks in wellies and hot chocolate in front of the gorgeous fire place. Host were so responsive and friendly. Thank you.
Cosy Cottage only 15 min from Ludlow, would recommend.
Our first time staying in this beautifully converted chapel and exploring the Shropshire countryside. We had a wonderful time walking up Brown Clee Hill and the Long Mynd, as well as our visit to Ironbridge. The cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped. The chapel is beautifully converted and has all you need. Nice beds, great shower, well equipped kitchen. Friendly neighbours. Jonathan left very detailed instructions so everything went well. Perfectly located to explore the stunning Shropshire hills.
We’ve had a wonderful stay – thank you so much! Stunning views from the top of Caer Caradoc & we’ve enjoyed exploring the museums at Ironbridge and Stokesay Castle. The cottage was perfect for us and so well equipped. It has been the perfect base for exploring this beautiful area.
Loved this quaint spot with lovely walks straight from the chapel. Spent a day at the Tenbury Show, one of the best agricultural shows we have been to. Highly recommend Ludlow too. Wish we could have stayed longer – so much more to see in Shropshire.
Thank you for a lovely stay. We’ve really enjoyed the chapel. It has got everything we need and its so peaceful with beautiful views. We would love to stay again.
Thank you so much – we absolutely loved our stay in this delightful cottage and peaceful area. Everything we could have possibly asked for is available in this comfortable and well thought out environment. We would love to come back some day!
We loved this house so much. We went to Ironbridge and went on a walk to Clee Hill. This place has so much to offer – thank you!
I stayed with my sister and I’m already in love with this beautiful, perfect place. We visited without a car – perfectly possible! I don’t think this place could have been improved – it’s impressively equipped, with every need provided for. And the location is idylic. Thank you!
Loved the house – beautifully refurbished and with such thoughtful attention to detail. Great walking nearby (the fort up the road plus Brown Clee Hill) and Ludlow Castle was a great find. Thank you for having us.
We are headed back home after a really lovely long weekend. Your chapel is so relaxing and I have to say my [young] daughter slept like a dream! Thank you for the delicious treats on arrival. The Easter chocolates were so thoughtful.. and we enjoyed the wine and cookies too. Such a treat! The chapel really does have everything one would need and that made our stay extremely enjoyable. We did go swimming in Ludlow, so thank you for the recommendation. We also had a nice meal at The Pheasant at Neenton based on your website’s where to eat guide. It was quite tasty. Thank you for helping us have a nice little family holiday.

Perfect 3 day quiet getaway. Can recommend the walks from Carding Mill Valley along the Long Mynd. Beautiful on a sunny autumn day!
Another brilliant stay in this little gem!
My daughter and I have enjoyed staying in your lovely chapel. It is also easy access to visit my other daughter and family who live in Ludlow. Thank you for the welcome gifts. Pauline & Jennifer, Kent
Beautiful updated Chapel. lots of character. Host was brilliant always there for support. Will be booking again.
We’ve had a great week – mixed weather but planned around it. Fans [in the chapel] v welcome as we got really hot. Also loved the front door and key! Would love to know the history of the building [we’ll be adding this shortly – it is very interesting!].
Enjoyed immensely our stay at St Milburga Chapel – spotlessly clean and comfortable, and such a tranquil location. We took the opportunity to tour (by car and on foot) a beautiful area, which was new to us. Stokesay Castle is a gem, as were the pretty villages of Clun, Bishops Castle and (further afield) Tenbury Wells. It’s well worth calling in at the SIlent Hills Discovery Centre at Craven Arms, too. Thank you for accommodating us – DIOLCH YN FAWR! The Hopwoods.
Absolutely gorgeous week! One of the most comfortable & well-equipped holiday cottages we have stayed in. Enjoyed the beautiful Shropshire countryside & absolute peace and quiet of St Milburga’s. Had front door open all week and eaten outside. Passing locals very friendly and made us feel welcome. Will look forward to a return visit. The Dixons, Hampshire
We have had a wonderful stay in your beautiful chapel. The furnishings and fittings are amazing. It has been a most relaxing holiday. Lashings of very hot water, outstanding shower, every facility you need, fast and faultless wifi, best ever stay anywhere! Thank you, Paul & Patsy, Manchester
The perfect stay. Cosy, clean and had everything we needed. The local produce was a lovely and delicious touch.
Beautiful spot, perfect for travel into Ludlow, gorgeous place , great for couples, friends or families. Visited here with friends for a relaxing weekend away, wow! What a beautiful spot, in the middle of the countryside with gorgeous views but very close to Ludlow, 15 mins in the car. The chapel is beautiful, has everything you need, the shower in the bathroom is INCREDIBLE!! Beds are very comfortable and the owners have thought of everything , even leaving little treats in the freezer 🥰 we were able to buy shopping in and it had everything needed for storing and cooking food. We also visited Ludlow which had a gorgeous market! Will certainly be back!
Amazing lovely cottage, quiet location – stayed here with three friends for a relaxing weekend walking, shopping, eating and drinking. Perfect location, quiet hamlet, ideally situated for a trip into Ludlow. Cottage had everything we could need (and more) and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Can’t wait for our next visit!
Please thank the owners for leaving us the treats, which we enjoyed very much. The Chapel is warm & comfortable and we have enjoyed our stay.
A lovely cosy cottage and well equipped. Ludlow and National Trust properties are within easy reach. We had a nice meal at the Chang Thai restaurant in Ludlow. We hope to come again later in the year.
Very comfortable, cosy, with a perfect balance of modern decor and old world charm. Rooms: 2 loft rooms. 1 double and 2 single beds. Nearby activities: Fantastic base for walking, and exploration. Highlights: Quiet, Great value
Our first visit to Shropshire – other than driving through to get to Wales! Lovely county. We tried Walk 9 – Clee Liberty to Nordy Bank … the views were lovely! Overall a well stocked and prepared holiday home. Thank you. Rooms: A cosy converted Chapel with well thought through provision of equipment. Nearby activities: Ludlow was a lovely nearby town. Walkability: Lovely walks directly from the Chapel front door. Noteworthy details: Everything for housekeeping was generously provided for our complete stay.
