What are people saying?...
"The centre was amazing. The refurbishment of the building has been sensitively done, and at a high standard. The church had a warm and welcoming feel and as guests arrived they were all amazed at how beautiful it sat in the surrounding area. The younger guests loved and enjoyed the sense of freedom they had within the grounds and the outdoor space allowed for the group to come together end enjoy the experience. "

"This space was great for our gathering. We found it to be so peaceful and still with Magical country side views. The old church has been converted masterfully and it was really nice to hangout in the common areas with a hot floor under foot. Highly recommend. Hoping we'll be back!"

- Matt and friends

"12 of us visited from Norfolk for a staycation with friends. The BBQ and fire pit were really great for the evenings. We really appreciated having so much space. A few of us had to work whilst away and the room separate from the main part of the building was great for this. The surrounding area is beautiful for walks and visiting the neighbouring villages. Would thoroughly recommend."

"It was an absolute pleasure to stay at the Chellington Centre. The building itself was perfect for our needs, and situated in the most lovely spot. We enjoyed a walk to the country park, and spent the evenings sat around the campfire. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of fridge space. A very happy stay all round! Rhonda, Scott and Debbie were lovely to deal with in advance and during the booking! "

"We have had a wonderful time. The site was absolutely perfect for our needs, our ladies made great use of the site and really enjoyed the pingpong and table football but the biggest hit was the 'camp fire area'. Scott was a really nice man and we felt very comfortable if we are ever in the area again we will certainly return.. "

- McKendrick Family

"We wanted to have a big family gathering with our Canadian Cousins who visited for the first time in 22 years. We wanted to all be under the same roof and that was proving difficult for 23 people, until we came across this gold mine. This venue absolutely exceeded our expectations as we were able to sleep, eat, play, socialise all under one roof! It is absolutely perfect for large gatherings."

- Canadian Family Gathering

"A truly magical place for our family gathering of 30+ from far afield in the Uk. The scenery is exquisite, the facilities excellent and the numerous gorgeous walks to be had. The table football and the Table-tennis was in use the whole time and provided enormous fun. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy The Chellington Centre – fun was had by all!"
