About this property
Located in the quaint village of Meliden in Denbighshire is Salem, a converted chapel, inviting up to twelve guests. Oozing both character and style, Salem has been sympathetically renovated to pay homage to the chapel's origins, showcasing original arch windows throughout, whilst offering a contemporary and well-equipped base for a North Wales getaway. Park up on the private driveway before heading indoors this charming dwelling. Reach the chic sitting room, complete with a plush corner sofa and a wall-mounted Smart TV, offering the perfect place to unwind after a day of travelling. The kitchen/diner is fully-equipped with sleek cabinetry, marble worktops, and state-of-the-art appliances, where you can prepare meals, ready to be enjoyed around the lofty table. If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, be sure to set the patio table, located in the enclosed rear garden, where you can benefit from a barbecue on sunny days with a glass of wine in hand; end the evening with a soak in the indulgent hot tub, covered for privacy and convenience. On cooler nights, make use of the first-floor games room, featuring plenty of plush seating, a Smart TV for catching up on your latest programmes, and a pool table for some friendly competition. Slope off to sleep in one of six well-appointed bedrooms, two of which rest on the ground floor, whilst the master and three twins can be found on the first floor; two of the double bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, whilst the remaining guests can select between a handy shower room, and a luxurious ground-floor bathroom. If you can tear yourself away from this highly-appointed home, head into the village to stock up on the essentials and dine out, before traversing the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can hike up Graig Fawr and Gop Hi Cairn, before stopping for a round of golf at St Melyd Golf Club. Head to the coast to stroll along either Prestatyn Beach or Ffrith Beach, before venturing further into Rhyl, a bustling seaside town. Here you'll find a variety of amenities to ease your stay, along with Rhyl Beach, Zip World Rhyl, SeaQuarium Rhyl, SC2 Rhyl water park, Rhyl Harbour, and the Kinmel Dunes Local Nature Reserve, all worth adding to your itinerary for all types of visits. For a touch of luxury, book Salem.

This house was fantastic. Beautifully decorated to complement the houses character. Would definitely return. Great facilities we cooked a full Sunday roast with no problems.

The space works really well with the games room and the safe and secure outside area. The property has been renovated to a very high standard and was very well insulated (we had to turn all the heating down!). The photos don't do the space justice, maybe a floor plan might show guests how it works? As for 10 of us there was space for everyone to be together as well as have time apart. We loved how some of the old features of the chapel were included both inside and out! We would definitely come again!

Perfect for 3 families with young children enjoying some time together. Secure sealed fence with astroturf. Large rooms, pictures dont dhow off the size. Lovely original church features in a modern property. Able to close off stairs from downstairs living space which was handy with not having stairgates with us. Well equipped and great location. Owners very friendly and helpful in all communications. Would highly recommend and will definately return as still so much to explore in North Wales.
