Dating back to 1871, The Old Sunday School can be found on the lower level of the Grade II listed Fernilee Methodist Chapel and offers the opportunity for a truly unique stay within the Peak District National Park. The incredibly exciting project which has seen the conversion of the old Sunday School into fabulous self-catering guest accommodation has involved the local and wider community, as well as attracting support from all over the world and quite wonderfully unearthed a time capsule from 150 years ago. By doing this the long-standing heritage of Fernilee village has been safeguarded for future generations and has meant that the chapel can remain operational for Sunday afternoon services and occasional events to serve the local residents. Completely self-contained, the holiday accommodation is accessed independently from the chapel, which is set into the hillside overlooking the Goyt Valley.
