A Romantic Setting
Tucked away in the inspiring North Pennine Hills, close to Hadrian's Wall and within range of the Lake District, the Yorkshire and Durham Dales and the Northumbria National Park is the tiny, remote village of Eals.
In this small farming community, close to the South Tyne River, is the picturesque former Victorian Chapel, now a Christian holiday retreat for up to 4 adults. |
The whole character, ambience and spiritual focus of The Chapel, its setting, tranquillity and layout, make it an ideal place as a personal spiritual retreat:
Surrounded by hills and looking out onto fields and woodland, it is a peaceful, enchanting place, to make quality time to consider the more important issues of life,
Surrounded by hills and looking out onto fields and woodland, it is a peaceful, enchanting place, to make quality time to consider the more important issues of life,
- to soak up the peace and quiet,
- or for going for walks on the many trails and footpaths in the area, cycling or visiting its many beautiful or historic sites.
- A vacation in salubrious surroundings
- A sanctuary from the stresses of everyday life
- A place of serenity for mental/emotional tranquility
- A haven for renewal, strengthening and growing in spirit.
- A Place for Meditation and Prayer and Christian Encouragement
- An inspirational location for artists and writers, looking for that
This pretty little cottage is surrounded by spectacular views and countryside in all directions, across the fields with plenty of wildlife and distant buildings dotted around the hills.
There are woods on the hills surrounding the Chapel, to wander through, with rocky streams cascading down to the South Tyne River that winds it way through the valley.
The spectacular countryside extends from Tees dale and Alston Moor in the South to the Kielder Forest Park and Northumberland National Park in the North; from the Lake District in the West to Allendale and the Wear Valley in the East and beyond.

Off the beaten track, nestling between the North Pennine hills, is the sleepy little hamlet of Eals. It is in this idyllic setting, among the picturesque cottages of is The Chapel, a charming stone former Wesleyan Methodist chapel built in 1871. Creatively converted to a two bedroom cottage, it is now being let as a holiday cottage:
- For those that just want a quiet retreat, to go on some of the best walking in the country
- Or to visit the many historical sites in the area such as Hadrian's wall only a few miles away.
The back garden is enclosed with a dry stone wall, with shrubberies and flower beds and over shadowed with small trees.
The garden overlooks a small field with the South Tyne river at the other side wending its way across the country to the sea.
Beyond the river the ground rises steeply, where the South Tyne Trail threads its way through a broad belt of trees.

The Interior of the Chapel is both spacious and comfortable with all that you could wish for,
- For a happy and relaxing time
- And much to provide for a time of real spiritual growth and renewal.
- The garden also provides plenty to occupy you or just to relax in and soak up the ambiance of the place.
At the front of the cottage is parking for two cars, while continuing on down the lane for a hundred yards or so past other cottages and a couple of farms you soon reach the river bank.
There a foot bridge that crosses over to the South Tyne Trail, to continue your walk to Knarsdale and back to the cottage, or to go the other way to Lambley Viaduct and beyond.
