Upon entering the chapel through its original doorway you are met with an expansive space, perfect for family gatherings and special occasion getaways.
The ground floor features a large open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The living room features three plush fabric sofas, a 65” flat screen, smart TV and two solid wood coffee tables. The large picture wall and faux plants bring a modern style to the chapel while the arched windows and overhead beams remind you of its characterful past.
The kitchen and dining area is the perfect spot for entertaining. The well thought out space allows guests to cook, eat and socialise in one place. The 10ft dining table is surrounded with one solid wooden bench and 6 mint green faux suede dining chairs.
The kitchen features a large range cooker, two refrigerators, a freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, dishwasher and coffee machine. Whether you’re staying for two days or two weeks, you will have everything you need for that feeling of home.
Just off the kitchen you will find the downstairs WC and shower room.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the full property. The keys to the property are accessed via a secure key safe and full details will be provided shortly before your arrival date.
There is private parking available at the property for up to four vehicles depending on size, and there is also additional free parking nearby.
The Neighborhood:
The small hamlet of Dunsley is quiet and relaxed. It is perfectly located on the North Yorkshire coast - just a short 20-minute walk to Sandsend and less than 5-minutes into Whitby by car. Dunsley sits very close to the Cleveland Way so you can uncover a haven of woodland and moorland during your stay.
Sandsend sits at the end of almost 3 miles of sandy beach, west along the bay from Whitby. Watch the surfers bob in the distance as you stretch your legs along the shores. Soak up the sea air as you feel the sand beneath your toes.
Head into Whitby and explore everything the seaside town has to offer. Visit the infamous Whitby Abbey which went on to inspire Bram Stoker’s gothic novel ‘Dracula’. Try the local catch of the day in one of the many fish restaurants, enjoy a drink in a cosy pub and feel nostalgia in the arcades which line Pier Road. You can’t miss the beautiful Blue Flag West Cliff beach which is complete with colourful huts on the promenade.15
For a more vigorous expedition the beautiful North York Moors are on the doorstep, with a huge range of hikes and scrambles available, or visits to the little villages dotted across the wild landscape – Goathland is particularly well-known because of its use in the TV series Heartbeat – before returning to the haven of Dunsley.
Getting Around:
You can explore Dunsley and the surrounding small villages on foot and the coastal village of Sandsend is just a short 15-minute walk away.
Whitby train station is around 5-10 minutes away via car so villages and towns along the North Yorkshire coast can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station.
Other Things to Note:
We welcome 1 small, well behaved dog.
Interaction with Guests:
We’re always available for our guests so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Summary: A lovely property in a great location, very peaceful but close to Sandsend and Whitby. We are a family of 6 adults and 3 children (3 generations) and we all enjoyed our stay. Lots of kitchenware and plenty of seating for us to eat together and relax on sofas. The local roads are very narrow and not pedestrian friendly so I’d recommend driving the short distance to the beach. 4 stars given due to the shower upstairs and in the en suite being very difficult to switch off- they need attention. Also most importantly the twin room downstairs had a pungent cat smell which luckily didn’t seem to bother my granddaughters who slept in there but it did the rest of us when it drifted into the living area. If not for this it would be 5 stars from us!
