About Chaplain's House

Live in Victorian grandeur in this striking three bedroom house. Carefully curated to retain its special Gothic Revival style, Chaplain’s House offers a rare opportunity to stay in an authentic 19th-century building. It’s set over three floors where you’ll find period features in all its rooms from fireplaces and window seats to the dark wooden floors. 

You’ll be on the edge of the formal gardens and wider estate of Tyntesfield. Be sure to explore the main house free of charge, where you’ll find many similarities to the interior of Chaplain’s. 

Further afield, the Somerset Levels are dotted with fascinating villages, cosy country pubs and miles of stunning walking routes. Hop on the M5 and drive seven miles east to Bristol for the famous suspension bridge and bustling harbour.
