The Old Chapel

Perkins Beach Methodist Chapel, Stiperstones, Shropshire Dedicated in 1869, this truly individual, converted Shropshire Methodist Chapel has been sympathetically renovated, to create beautiful and comfortable, self catering accommodation. The cottage occupies a peaceful, picturesque setting, nestling in an unspoilt valley on the lower slopes of the Stiperstones range of hills in Shropshire. The Ch

apel is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), approximately 12 miles equidistant from Shrewsbury and Bishop's Castle. The Stiperstones area of Shropshire has a wealth of history and natural beauty and this property has so much character and charm, that you may never want to leave. South Shropshire has been a lead mining area from Roman times right up until the 1950's, historic buildings litter the hillsides and the nearby Snailbeach Leadmines are arguably the best preserved set of lead mining buildings in the country. The StiperstonesThe Stiperstones range of hills is dominated by dramatic quartzite tors which tower above an unspoilt heathland, the most famous of these tors is the Devil's Chair, whilst Manstone Rock is the highest point at 536m above sea level. Self Catering CottageThe Perkins Beach Primitive Methodist Chapel had its last service and was deconsecrated in 1993 before being converted into a home. Lara & Phil of The Stiperstones Inn purchased The Old Chapel cottage late in 2013 and following refurbishment, letting of this luxury self catering accommodation began in January 2014. The decor is bright and airy, warm and inviting and the walls are hung with photography by Philip J Jones, many of whose prints are available for purchase at the Stiperstones Inn. For the squeamish among you it is best to let you know that there has never been a burial at the chapel as there is no graveyard. This stunning Stiperstones cottage has a Friday change over day, with check out at 10am and check in for new guests at 4pm. This is a cyclist, walker and dog friendly property which is non smoking throughout.
