Our Favour-8 Converted Barns and Chapels

The British countryside is scattered with historic chapels and barns, and many of those no longer used for religion or farming have been lovingly converted into holiday cottages. We offer various converted barns and chapels from Devon and Cornwall to the Highlands of Scotland, so you are bound to find one in your perfect location.
