![]() |
Stay in a beautiful converted chapel on the edge of the New Forest.
The Old Chapel was originally built as a Baptist Church in around 1836. It has been carefully restored and updated to provide quiet and relaxing Bed & Breakfast accommodation. It is situated opposite the owners’ house on the other side of the gravel courtyard, allowing you complete freedom and independence.
The Old Chapel is in a quiet lane on the edge of Sway village which has its own shops, post office, and an excellent pub. The New Forest is on your doorstep, with cattle grazing, and ponies and donkeys wandering a few yards away. Brockenhurst, Lymington and the coast are all a short drive away. The area is excellent for walking, running and cycling. The shops and nightlife of Southampton and Bournemouth are easily accessible by road and rail.
The chapel offers a choice of 2 non-smoking ground floor bedrooms.
