Our 5 day stay at St James Converted Church was “magical.” From the moment you open the door this unique accommodation welcomes you with its warmth and charm.. The conversion is very well done, maintaining the beauty of some original features of the church combined with the comfort of modern day living, I really enjoyed reading the book about the history of St James which was a lovely tribute to its former life. The accomodation is well equipped, warm, and comfortable. Host Kylie was fantastic.

− It’s more of an improvement that could be made than a dislike. An undercover outdoor area in the backyard would be great.
