Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday home in Slad - The Old Chapel, Slad
Luxury Self Catering: Spacious Cotswolds Holiday Rental, ideal for two Families

The Old Chapel is a contemporary, Cotswolds family holiday home, sleeping up to 10 (maximum 8 adults).

This beautiful, self-catering accommodation is set on the slopes of the Slad Valley, in the heart of the Cotswold Hills, one of the most picturesque and unspoiled locations in England.

The hamlet of Slad, immortalised by Laurie Lee in Cider with Rosie, boasts stunning views, a choice of great walks and one of the best pubs in the Cotswolds – The Woolpack.

The converted chapel, built in 1865 and thoroughly renovated in 2008, provides contemporary, stylish and very comfortable holiday accommodation. 4 bedrooms, large, state-of-the-art kitchen-diner and huge open plan living spaces make The Old Chapel a unique Cotswolds holiday let.

Surrounded by open meadows, woodland and rolling hills, with walks directly from the door, there's plenty to keep families busy here, all year round.

The Old Chapel is not your average Cotswolds cottage. It's a unique, stylish family holiday home.

The Cotswolds is designated as England's largest 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' – as an area it’s 100 miles north to south.

Here in the South Cotswolds the area has a slightly wilder nature, especially in the five beautiful valleys around Stroud, of which Slad Valley is considered the most unspoiled. These are the real Cotswold Hills; nature reserves, meadows, wild orchids, steep climbs and wonderful views, away from the crowds of tourists you find in north Gloucestershire.

Two miles away is Painswick, 'Queen of the Cotswolds', one of many beautiful villages in the area. The Rococo Garden is a must, and you have a choice of stunning mansions, abbeys and castles within a short drive.

Closer to home - a 2 minute walk away - is the famous Woolpack Inn, a timeless pub that serves fantastic food and ales and one of the best views you can imagine.

Nearby Stroud has an award-winning farmers' market on Saturdays, and swimming, cinema and bowling to keep children happy.

Other Activities: horse riding, golf, hiking cinema, bowling, country pubs, gliding, shooting

Excellent Choice!

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 14 May 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We enjoyed a wonderful 3 day stay in the Old Chapel in April 2009 together with two children, 7 & 4 and grandparents. Fantastic property, true to the description on the internet site and just as beautiful as the photos suggest. Local pub was a big hit as were the lovely walks which started very close to the house. Fantastic views and a very well equipped house. House furnishings were of an excellent quality. Highly recommended.

Christmas at The Chapel

Review Submitted: 03 January 2013 Date of Stay: December 2012
Quite simply the best Christmas we've ever had. The Old Chapel is charming, beautifully appointed and fantastically well located for beautiful views, great walks, good beers and as a starting point to explore the local area further.
Couple of recommendations: Bourton on the Water (I'd spend a day here mooching in the shops and sampling local pub grub/beer), Painswick (Olivas coffee shop), Farmers Market in Stroud.
We had lunch in Cirencester at The Fleece Hotel - very good food and excellent, young but well informed staff.

All in all, difficult to fault it in any way. Just be careful with young kids, walks are very hilly and tiring.

Would DEFINITELY stay here again.

Fantastic house and lovely surroundings!

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 31 July 2012 Date of Stay: June 2012
We stayed in The Old Chapel for a week earlier this summer and we all really enjoyed it! The house is very spacious and there was plenty of space for us all (six adults and four boys aged 4-10). It didn’t just live up to our expectations, which were really high. The Old Chapel easily exceeded them! The house was warm and welcoming.

We really appreciated the information folder - it was full with all the necessary information about the house as well as many tips about excursions and trips in the surrounding area. The kitchen was very well equipped and we loved cooking and dining in it. Being set in a fantastic landscape and close to many interesting places the Old Chapel was a fantastic “headquarter” for our daily adventures. During the week we easily travelled to Birmingham in the north, Bristol in the south and Oxford to the west, as well as many other places closer to the Old Chapel. Stroud is a very nice little town and being only a ten minute car ride away it catered for our daily needs.

Amazing place

Review Submitted: 15 November 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
We had a 40th birthday celebration/family reunion at the Old Chapel - what an amazing place! Everyone was blown away on arrival - definitely lived up to expectations. Gorgeous countryside - we did lots of walking, visited the pub twice and enjoyed scenery from every window. Recommend the lido at Cheltenham on a hot day - great for kids and the Prinknash bird/deer park and Painswick for an amble. Thank you for a very comfortable and well-appointed place with a quirky twist of style and art.
