The Chapel

Historic character, warm interiors

Over two hundred years old and full of charm, Providence Chapel combines its historic character with warm, welcoming interiors — the perfect base for beach days, countryside walks and cosy evenings together.

The ground floor is one open-plan living space: a dining table that comfortably seats eight, a well-equipped kitchen, and a sitting area built around the wood-burning stove. Upstairs, three bedrooms sleep six, and a private patio and garden offer a quiet spot to enjoy the outside.
