Overall a great place to stay, generally very clean a bit cobwebby and dusty in places but such as it is with old buildings. the photos are very accurate, it's very spacious. There was 11 of us all in 6 adults, 4 kids, a baby and 3 dogs, and there was ample space for all of us to sit around the table, and in the living area. Beds were clean and comfortable, free WiFi and for an old chapel surprisingly warm, the underfloor heating kept us very comfortable. We had an issue with the downstairs ensuite and the hosts were very quick to respond to our issue. well worth the money we've had a lovely few days exploring Whitby

We really enjoyed our stay — the house is beautiful, in a lovely area with easy access to Whitby and local transport. The photos reflect it perfectly, and the facilities were fantastic, especially the kitchen and living space. It felt calm and relaxing, with thoughtful premium touches like luxury hand wash and shower products. A few small things could improve the experience: one bedroom and shower room opened directly off the living area, so a clearer layout description would help future guests. Cleanliness was mostly good, though a little dusty with a few stray hairs. The capped heating made it slightly cool at times. The checkout experience was disappointing — someone waited outside from 9:45am and approached as soon as we left at 10:10am, which felt a bit uncomfortable given our minor delay with a baby. For the price (£850 for two nights), a little more warmth would have gone a long way. Also worth noting, parking is limited for larger groups.

We had a lovely long weekend stay at Dunsley Chapel. Perfect size for a large family and we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. It was a great stay to relax and recharge.

The property sits in beautiful surroundings, in a really quiet area. Lots to do within a short drive but the surrounding lanes are narrow and not really walkable as a family. Would suggest driving down the hill to the beach (which is beautiful). The property feels really unloved and would benefit from some maintenance and attention - reported a number of issues whilst we stayed at the property but nothing was done to rectify these and I note a fair number of guests have reported similar issues. Considering the price of the property to rent I would have expected these fairly basic things to be addressed (toilet flush broken, toilet seats all loose). The property could also do with a deep clean.
