Electric double oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, TV with full Sky, Xbox, WiFi, selection of books and games. Fuel and power inc. in rent.

Note: There is one step up to the dining and sitting area and two steps to the ground floor bathroom. Note - Please find that the Rainforest Chapel is a grade 2 star listed building and is over 160 years old, thus there is a degree of charm and character that comes with living in such a unique dwelling, and that it may not be suitable to all guests that might expect the very highest living standards of a new dwelling thus. The living room fire place is a 'feature' fireplace only for visual purposes. The bath hot water has been restricted in temperature and is very slow filling. You might feel a chill or draft on 'very cold' days due to the original windows and solid walls. Note: Rainforest Cottage is 0.2 miles from Rainforest Chapel

Reviews
We stayed in the Rainforest chapel for a week in February. Be warned that it gets cold even though the heating is on simply because of the size of the main room. Bring an extra blanket! The chapel is a huge space that has been really tastefully decorated with vintage furniture and pottery and glass decor. Throughout the chapel are remote controlled colour changing lights which can be turned on or off. We had great fun with these. They really give it that extra special touch and the main open plan living space is big enough to pull it off without being tacky. There was also a mezzanine level with twin beds, sofa and large tv with games console which gave us the option to spend the evening upstairs where it was more cosy or downstairs where it was more grand. There was also a really handy indian/chip shop very close to the chapel and some really beautiful forest walks nearby. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here to get away from it all.
