The Methodist Chapel, WHITEPARISH

Rated 5/50 by Honestandtothepoint on 11th July 2019

"Had a lovely weekend stay in the chapel. We stayed for a family wedding in the area. The chapel was spotless and had everything you needed. 2 double bedrooms and a bedroom with 2 bunk beds. Walk in shower was great and so was the roll top bath in the main bathroom. Whiteparish is a lovely village, local pub and shop nearby. Games room with full size snooker table, table tennis table and foosball table. Great for kids too as lots of games and toys. Would love to stay again. Owner was very friendly and gave all the information we needed. "

"We spent a family Christmas at the chapel. Myself and my husband, eldest daughter with partner, and three teenage children. This review is written from my perspective, as Mum, and the sensible adult. The children all thought it absolutely brilliant and spent a considerable amount of time in the games room. The downstairs of the property is fabulous, a large family room and an even larger games room with full size snooker table and table tennis - both much used. The kitchen fairly well equipped, but Christmas dinner for seven was slightly challenging. We found it lacking in silly things: potato peeler, kitchen scissors, serving spoons, rather than crockery, pans and electrical goods. I had two big issues with the property and as the week went on, they became the elephant in the room. The bedrooms are upstairs in the chapel roof and the bathroom downstairs across the games room and through a hallway. There is one indoors toilet and it is integral to the bathroom. It seemed a long way to the loo in the middle of the night, and the squabbling and queues for the bathroom, particularly for the bedtime teeth cleaning became wearing. We took a dog, a rather lively spaniel and my biggest issue was that the main door opened directly to the street, which the dog clearly saw as a bid for freedom. There is no garden, and so every time the dog needed a wee someone (usually me or my husband) had to walk said dog around the roads. That, combined with someone having to hang on to the dog every time the door was opened led to a stressful time. The children would be back in a heartbeat. I wouldn't take the dog there again, and I've decided that I am getting a bit long in the tooth and have had too many children to be sleeping on a different level to the bathroom. The other thing to be aware of is that the building has been constructed with acoustics in mind, and noise travels exceptionally well. Overall, we did enjoy our stay, and would recommend it to others, and my rating is personal and not reflective of the rest of the group."

"Amazing!!! We booked this as a last minute get away. The building is beautiful, with so much character. The bedrooms are all good sizes with comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need (a home away from home) So much to do inside the house, between playing snooker, table tennis or table football or even reading one of the many books provided. Lovely family pup at the end of the road. We all had a fantastic short break and wish we could have stayed longer. Wifi password was provided just before we arrived and worked great! Vendor was very helpful."

"We hired for weekend with four children / four adults, weather was damp and miserable but that didn't matter as the chidren absolutely loved it. The games room is awesome and the place as a whole brought back childhood memories of an old sunday school. The villagers were all very, very friendly. It had everything needed for cooking, sleeping, cleaning showering etc., and made an excellent base whether going into the new forest or to the coast. I would say ideal place if you have young children. Owner was very friendly also, we had option to call him at anytime if we needed anything."

"We stayed here August 2015 and had a great time. There is plenty of room in the chapel, the games room is excellent, it has a tv, dvd player, wifi and music system as well ,so if it was chucking it down the kids would have plenty to keep them occupied for ages. The shower room is good, and there is a freestanding bath in the other bathroom. There's a washing machine and tumble dryer too. The kitchen/diner is large with a table big enough for 8 people or more. There are two pubs in the village and both do nice food. The village is quiet and is on the edge of the New Forest. Salisbury is not far to go for shopping. We would certainly go back there and would recommend it for big families."

"this place is ideal for all ages. We were 10 at the weekend ages ranging for 75 down to 7 and we all loved it. Spacious,comfy, lots to do inside and out and about to the coast and New Forest. Grandchildren said it was "awesome". We all want to go again. Everything you want provided. Loved it. we particularly went for the snooker, the full sized table is flawless."

"This lovely property really had the wow factor - it was a lovely place to stay, with all the comforts of home. The space was enormous! There were two huge rooms on the ground floor - the old school room which was a kitchen/diner/living area and where we spent most of our time. The second was the old church room, which had a couple of sofa's and a TV, and three large games tables. Above this room was a mezzanine level where the three adjoining bedrooms were. The beds were very comfortable, which is always a bonus! In the children's room there was a large selection of Polly Pocket toys which kept my 3 year old twins occupied for many hours! The shower in the wet room was the best - I could've passed a day in there!! There were a couple of downsides to the property, but nothing major. The first was that the 3 bedrooms were small and adjoined. We were a party of two young families including a baby, so baby crying in the night meant that we were all awake. This wouldn't be an issue with an older party though. The second was that there was only one indoor toilet - which was an issue especially as we had two toilet-training children and a baby that required bathing. There was an outdoor toilet, but I wasn't brave enough to use it just in case I found a spider... It also can't be used after 10pm as it disturbs the neighbours. The surrounding locality was fantastic - the corner shop sold everything we needed, the Tesco's delivery drivers do many deliveries to the property and knew it well. Bearing in mind our trip was for young children, there was a great park just across the main road there were many soft play amenities within 1/2hr drive. We spent one day at Poulton's Park for Peppa Pig World and would highly recommend it. All in all a lovely stay - a well equipped holiday accommodation with a friendly, helpful owner. There were plenty of games/books/toys and home comforts."
