Large Self-Catering Holiday Accommodation in Milford, Derbshire, ideal for Family Groups

A split-level riverside stone chapel, with river views, created by the conversion of a large Methodist Chapel and Schoolroom, built in 1846 in the conservation area of the historic mill village of Milford, in the wooded valley of the River Derwent. The local area is of great interest to enthusiasts of our industrial heritage is lots of walking close at hand.

This fine stone building has been skillfully converted into a large and most characterful holiday home, offering good quality accommodation, yet retaining much of the Chapel’s original character and charm, with exposed beams, some original pews, marble plaques, chapel doors, and with the old pulpit featured in the balcony of the lower lounge! The Chapel has its own large raised patio garden with ramp access,  picnic tables and barbecue. (Please bring your own charcoal) .
