Designed with style, quality and spaciousness in mind, this converted chapel provides an unforgettable base for Devonshire adventures. Inviting eight guests to stay, ideal for families or friend groups and pet-friendly, this incredible property encourages slow mornings and restful evenings together. Make memories each day whilst exploring Devon and neighbouring Cornwall, spending time getting to know Dartmoor (12.5 miles) or the Hartland Heritage Coast (20 miles) with hikes, bike rides and beach trips. Your nearest towns of Launceston (7 miles) and Holsworthy (9 miles) encourage you to enjoy slower-paced days, exploring the area’s ancient history, shopping in independent shops and stopping off for pub and restaurant visits.

Parquet flooring, bespoke fittings and exceptionally designed bathrooms add to the appeal of this property, all whilst paying homage to the building’s chapel origins with curved windows and high ceilings. Underfloor heating greets you on the ground floor, as does a handy utility room with space to stow boots and coats before relaxing. The living room is exceptional with plush sofas, a large Smart TV and an electric fireplace to curl up in front of. Elsewhere, four incredible bedrooms are laid out on the first floor, two with the added versatility of zip-and-link beds. Outside, the garden is impressive with a large lawn and furnished, enclosed patio.

Not far from home explore Roadford Lake (4 miles), a pretty destination allowing for waterfront walks. It also has an activity centre where you can rent a kayak, canoe and paddleboard or try your hand at archery, high ropes and climbing. The fun doesn’t stop there, with the Dartmoor National Park a little further along with a never-ending offering of hike and biking routes through its magnificent countryside scenery. Head towards the beautiful National Trust area of Lydford Gorge (12.5 miles) to admire its spectacular 30m waterfall.

Outstanding property. Warm welcome from the owner. We found the property warm and spacious. The welcome treats and even the vase of fresh flowers showed that personal touch. We have stayed at many properties and St. Marys studio has been the best.

We had an amazing stay at St Marys chapel studio. Elaine was such a welcoming host and provided us with lots of information ahead of our stay. The studio is quite remote and you need a car to get anywhere. The nearest pub is 3 miles away in Ashwater, which you can walk to if you wanted to, but its quite hilly.

This was an amazing property. Exactly what it looked like. The kitchen had plenty of equipment. It was definitely a luxury stay. The beds were really comfortable. The bathroom was amazing.
