You’ll feel as though you’ve travelled back in time in The Chapel owing to its abundance of period elements and accents, which include exposed timbers, a feature stone fireplace, flagstone, and oak floors. However, the equipment and furnishings are unmistakably twenty-first century, with contemporary amenities like roll-top bathtubs and chic furniture.
There are stone arched windows all over the house, offering breathtaking views of the pristine countryside beyond. Making the most of the views, the sitting room and kitchen are arranged to maximise available space on the first level. There is an orchard with pears, apples, and olives to harvest on the estate surrounding The Chapel.
For that extra special occasion, the owners can arrange for a private chef. In addition, guests can take advantage of pre-arranged wellness sessions like yoga and breath work at the on-site Wellness Suite, as well as luxurious facials and back massages using the Tropic skincare range (booking in advance is essential).
A short distance from The Chapel, there are many walking options, such as the well-known Monarch’s Way trail, which roughly follows Charles II’s escape route after the Battle of Worcester. Less than a mile distant lies the well-known Tardebigge Flight, the longest flight of canal locks in the United Kingdom. The village of Aston Fields is about a mile away. It comes alive at night with amazing restaurants serving Italian and Indian food, an American bistro serving up real street food and the best craft beers and cocktails, a wine bar, Ladybird Public House, and a restaurant connected to their neighbouring butcher shop that serves food sourced locally. Another asset to Aston Fields is a newly constructed train station that offers frequent service across the Midlands and beyond.
