Guests flying in land 139 km away, about 1 h 41 min by road. The nearest town centre for hotels is 3 km away.
Neither the site nor the 22 reviews read name a chapel. For a religious ceremony, count on the church in the parish and the drive between the two.
On the first call, ask seated capacity indoors and outdoors, separately, whether there is more than one event on the same day and whether the kitchen is theirs or outside catering comes in.
