Mead Chapel is beautifully set amidst the picture-perfect Somerset village of Drayton, with an excellent village pub restaurant just a few minutes walk! With central heating throughout the chapel provides a restful and elegant getaway whatever the time of year. Radiating a timeless charm, the sleepy village of Drayton has streets lined with a mix of period cottages and impressive larger houses and also a charming a 15th century church.

There are beautiful nature-walks starting right from the doorstep Of Mead Chapel, offering plenty of scope to explore the Somerset levels and nearby Dorset.
Entering the chapel through the original double chapel doors, there’s stone floor hallway with space for coats and muddy boots etc. Through the next set of double doors the ground floor opens out into a stylish, vaulted sitting room with comfy sofa and a dining area. The solid oak floor then leads on to a well equipped kitchen and modern shower room with large walk in shower. In the lounge you can snuggle on the comfy sofa with your morning coffee or a glass of wine; there’s also a smart TV to keep you nicely entertained, a Bluetooth speaker to select your favourite soundtrack, along with a selection of books to browse.

Furnished with a kingsize bed dressed in designer cotton linens, you’re all but guaranteed a sound night’s slumber. On this floor there’s also a chest of drawers and a second TV. For guests needing hanging space, there is a rail and hangers for this in the cupboard next to the dining area on the ground floor.
The modern kitchen is equipped with electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge and Nespresso coffee machine.
To the front of the Chapel there’s a picnic table for enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. To the rear of the Chapel is a lockable shed in case guests would like to bring bikes.

A real gem! The chapel is cited in a pretty little village just five minutes from the nearest pub which serves delicious tasty food at reasonable prices. The chapel has been sensitively renovated and offers everything you could need for a short stay. Denise leaves a welcome pack which was much appreciated. The chapel is spotlessly clean and very well appointed. We had a fantastic stay. Thank you, Denise.

Oodles of Charm and Character!
Unique experience to stay in a converted 20th century chapel. Very clever design that keeps in with the character of the chapel( original stained glass windows) whilst ensuring all the homely comforts such as power shower , coffee machine, excellent wifi and mod cons all provided. The owner has taken pride in making sure the furnishings are of a fine quality. Just right for a restful romantic week away from it all but set in a historic and rural part of Somerset. Easy access from the M5 tooThe owners are very responsive and will try to ensure your stay is positively memorable. Neighbours are also friendly with a number of dog walkers too! A warm, fresh and clean Chapel that has oodles of character and decorated to an excellent standard that brings a smile to your face on entry. I scored several hubby bonus points with the Mrs who looved staying here....

Fantastic place
Wonderful property in a lovely village. Plenty of attractions in the surrounding area. Village pub about 200 metres away. During our stay there was a busy market in the village hall on Saturday morning. Our host was most helpful and the welcome pack was most appreciated

Beautiful cottage
Just got back from a three night stay at this beautiful converted chapel. The cottage is as gorgeous as it looks in the photos. Clean as a whistle, warm and cosy. Everything you could need is here plus some lovely little touches.The bed is super comfortable and the walk-in shower is amazing.The check-in was seamless and we were greeted with a lovely treat of wine, pain au raisin, coffee pods and fresh milk.There are lots of interesting things to do in the area and we can thoroughly recommend the Kitchen at the Wharf cafe in Langport.

Himmlisches Ferienhaus in einer ehemaligen Kapelle
Wir wurden sehr freundlich mit Croissants und einer Flasche Wein empfangen. Die umgebaute Kapelle ist ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus und ideal für zwei Personen. Das Haus ist perfekt eingerichtet hat ein schönes großes Bad, einen komfortablen Schlafbereich auf einer Galerie und ein schönen Wohnbereich. Es liegt sehr zentral, um schöne Ausflüge in die Umgebung zu unternehmen, z.B. nach Glastonbury, ans Meer oder zum Wandern nach Exmoor. Zwei Minuten zu Fuß ist ein gemütlicher Pub mit sehr leckerem Essen. Auch die Nachbarn sind alle ausgesprochen nett. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dorthin zurückkommen. Sehr empfehlenswert.
