The majority of guests found the property to be clean and tidy, contributing to a comfortable and welcoming stay. There were minor mentions of cobwebs and dust, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive impressions of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, beautiful countryside views, and proximity to walks and local towns. The serene setting and easy access to attractions make it an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway.
Guests report a high level of comfort, with special mentions of the comfy sofas and beds. However, some noted the lack of a proper shower and the impracticality of the bath for showering, which slightly impacted the comfort score.
The facilities are generally well-received, with praise for the well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of a log burner. Criticisms include issues with the toaster tripping electricity and the lack of a shower stand or curtain. The absence of a washing machine was also noted by a guest.
While many reviews express gratitude for the overall experience, there is insufficient information to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this score is set to null.

We visited over the Christmas period and we were not disappointed. The accommodation is a fabulous conversion of a former Chapel set in its own grounds on the top of the hill, surrounded by fabulous views of the River Severn. The weather was awful whilst there and floods everywhere, but this did not distract from a memorable stay. Bausley Chapel was a home from for us over Christmas, comfy sofas, wood burner, well stocked modern kitchen, everything easy to use. The bathroom has a long slipper bath (we have the shorter version at home!) with views over the river! The bedroom is spacious and provided for our needs. As we have a camper van, the parking was amazing. We loved our stay and have already recommended to family
