Formerly, Zoar Congregational Chapel offering a unique stay in Pembrokeshire

Formerly a Congregational chapel built in 1865, it has been restored to retain its original features mixed with contemporary interior design and a mix of traditional and contemporary furniture. The property is located in the village of Carew Newton and is within easy walking distance from Carew Castle, Tidal Mill and of course Carew Inn.

The interior incorporates natural slate floors and hardwood floor on the ground floor, with carpeted bedrooms. All the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, one with a large modern free-standing bath. The Chapel interior features 19 foot high ceilings together with a internal balcony area. A cast iron wood burner is the central feature of the lounge area and adds to the overall atmosphere of the interior.

There is a large kitchen area which was originally the Vestry and features large glazed doors opening out onto a large decking area, small garden with lovely views over the surrounding countryside.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.

    Excellent property in an idyllic location

    All three generations of our party loved this conversion of a former chapel..The accommodation was light, spacious and tastefully furnished. It was also clean, well equipped and maintained and all bedrooms having their own en-suite was a definite bonus. The sunny outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying the quiet location but only a short walk from the beautiful Carew Castle, village shop and pub. A short drive took us to the lovely local beaches and Tenby.

    Peaceful & interesting property.

    A beautiful Chapel conversion in such a lovely & peaceful location. We were blessed with amazing weather, so it actually felt like we were abroad. The only negatives were the poor water pressure, which made showering & washing a chore and the downstairs bedroom smells musty, so didn’t use the wardrobe or unpack suitcase in that room. The acoustics in the lounge made the TV a little difficult to hear too.

    Great & special place to stay

    We have had a great stay in the Chapel with 3 persons. Obviously we had plenty of space, given it is rated for 6. But even with 6 there is still so much living area! And of course, given it is a Chapel, it has a special atmosphere. The area is very quiet, with only 3-4 cars coming by in a day. The house is very well equipped. Nice bedrooms. Decent bathrooms/showers. Kitchen is very large. Please mind there are 2 small refrigerators which provide plenty of space, but you will have to bend over to reach them. Nice patio, although the planks bend a bit when walking on them, but you get used to it. All in all, we have had a very good stay and would recommend this to anyone visiting Pembrokeshire. Some comments/remarks/tips: + Do not leave the bedroom windows open during day, as birds may find their way in and do "droppings". + The bed in the master bedroom upstairs is "romantically" small but appears to be quiet unstable and "creaky". I would put in a much better bed. The other beds are much better. + The only thing we did miss a bit was a machine dryer, which was a bit miscommunicated in the VBRO text as dryer, which according to the owner meant "drying rack".

    Ein traumhafter Urlaub in einem besonderen Gebäude

    Trotz sehr durchwachsenem Wetter hatten wir 2 perfekte Urlaubswochen. Das Haus ist ideal für Ausflüge / Wanderungen in South/Westwales und für 4-6 Personen sehr geräumig. Peter hat aus dem alten Gemäuer sehr gelungen ein cooles und besonderes Ferienzuhause geschaffen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter ist sehr herzlich und unkompliziert. Wir wären gerne noch ganz lang geblieben.

    A very pleasant stay was had by all!

    The property was clean and well maintained and as it was south facing we had sun on the patio all day. The location of the property was very peaceful and also great as it was only a short walk to a lovely castle and mill and a super pub which served tasty food. Nearby was the Pembrokeshire coast and it's excellent beaches.

    Love this place!!

    The Chapel is such a great place to stay, loads of space for us and our teenage daughters!! It has everything you would expect of a holiday property but the building itself is amazing. I love the location too, so calm and peaceful but only a short car journey to the beach (Freshwater East is our favourite), Pembroke Dock, Tenby and more. This was our second year here and I would go back again.

    Brilliant week in superbly converted Chapel

    First time at the chapel, but not new to staying in the area. Love thIs quirky chapel: clean, very spacious and warm. The Pembrokeshire weather was variable, but it was a pleasure to stay inside during Storm Frances. The local beaches were as beautiful as ever.: We’re already planning our next trip! Thank you

    Brilliant base for exploring Pembrokeshire

    The Chapel was perfect. We had a lovely week getting away and enjoying Pembrokeshire. We were lucky with the weather and bbq'd outside for most the week on the bbq there. There was ample space inside the Chapel as well. And with lots of bathrooms which was really useful for all wanting a shower after getting back from walks and swims. The location is great with a pub within walking distance in Carew and the castle which is worth a like walk around. From the Chapel we explored lots of south Pembrokeshire going for walks everyday along the coastal path and fun swimming in the sea. We have saved the Chapel as a place to recommend to friends and to come back to as it was perfect for us.

    Wow! What an amazing conversion this chapel has undergone

    Wonderfully in keeping with the original building’s use, the three en-suite bedrooms are very well done and you don’t loose the feel of the original chapel area in the living/dining space. The kitchen was very well equipped with two under counter fridges, both with freezer compartments, and a huge array of cooking equipment. Perfect for self catering holidays. The road outside had so few cars passing it felt like a private driveway! Very safe to stroll down the short distance to the castle and local pub. Regarding location we found it very well situated being only 10-15 minutes drive to wonderful beeches, castles, theme parks and a wide range of other forms of family entertainment. Communication with the owner was clear and prompt, even after my numerous questions before arriving. We were a party of two adults and three teens and would highly recommend this accommodation.

    Wonderful Rural retreat

    Wow! If you like staying somewhere out of the ordinary then this property is for you! We ( A family of 6 adults) had a fabulous holiday visiting the many beaches and attractions nearby then were able to relax in the peace and quiet of the countryside. Having a pub within walking distance that serves good food was a bonus but this is the first house I have stayed in that had large enough cooking pots to cater for 6 hungry people. The weather was gorgeous and you can just glimpse a tower of Carew Castle from the Chapel garden. Bear in mind for your stay that there is only a small fridge with an ice box and as it was so hot this year it would have been perfect if there had been an additional small drinks fridge available for the many cans and bottles 6 adults get through in a week! This house is very stylish, comfortable and well appointed and we will definitely stay here next time we holiday in Pembrokeshire. We all loved the Chapel, Serendipity finding it and that it was available for us to book this summer.

    Fantastic property in a superb location

    We (family of four children's ages 9 and 7) had a great week long stay at The Chapel. I would recommend people visiting South Wales to stay here as it is very quiet, walk-able to the pub and to Carew Castle. It is only a short drive to Tenby and Saundersfoot, Amroth and Pendine. Folly Farm was great, we stayed all day, the Blue Lagoon was okay, the children loved it. The Chapel is well equipped, and is set in beautiful surroundings. We will be back! Thank you Peter, we had a great holiday. The Cooks

    It was that good!

    We first visited 'The Chapel' in the summer of 2008 & couldn't wait to return this year in August......it was as great as we remembered! Peter was as helpful with information & advice as he was 2 years ago & the property was clean & tidy with everything we needed for our weeks holiday. Our group consisted of 3 Adults, 2 15 year old boys & a 5 year old boy, we found activities & attractions for everyone, Quad biking @ Ritec Valley, Mackrel fishing from Tenby, Dinosaur world, St Davids, Beaches including Manobier, Freshwater East & Pendine sands, crabbing in Saundersfoot, walks to Carew Castle & Mill, Bicycle rides to The Milton Arms & Cresswell Quay & of course......Our daily visits to The Carew Inn for a cold glass of refreshment(!) on our way 'home' to The Chapel! The Carew Inn also does fabulous food in the bar & restaurant & twice a week does lovely Barbecues! We will definately be back to do it all again & again & again!

    Great Location

    The location of The Chapel is excellent, in a tiny hamlet with lovely views and at the end of the lane is Carew Newton Castle. It is a great location for all tastes and ages. Stunning beaches. Good walks. Rural, but not too far from market towns when you need them. The property description is accurate. It is spacious, well-equipped. Just one point. We were a party of six and stayed for two weeks, so we did find the larder fridge rather tiny. The owners were helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends and relatives.

    The chapel Carrow Newton

    Stayed here 18-25 sept with our two grown up daughters & boyfriends. Great modern space to stay in and beautiful tranquil location,good size kitchen, would have benefitted from a freezer,great dining area,lounge good size and lovely log burner, very clean. Negatives however were lack of crockery, sofa's in lounge not adequate to seat 6 adults at once, but as we spent our evenings playing card/games as a family in the evening it did not impact too much, however the downstairs bedroom had a pervasive smell of damp as there was a leak in the ensuite ceiling from an upstairs bathroom, overall the inside was tired and in need of a touch up which i understand the owner is due to do at the end of the season. Despite these niggles we had a lovely week and would reccomend this area to anyone with families/ couples etc.We chose this area as our children & boyfriends had plenty to do on the doorstep however be aware if you go this time of year attractions may only be open wkends or part time.
