Description from owner
Description
CRAIGSTON CHAPEL. Craigston chapel was built in the 1930's , on the grounds of Craigston Great House….itself built in 1784….. to serve the Catholic community of the nearby village of Bogles. The story goes that the completed building was never consecrated, as plans changed, and over time the building was used as a store room and an animal pen….as a young boy growing up at Craigston I remember a flock of sheep being penned there at night and streaming out to pasture in the morning.
Having lost the roof in a long forgotten hurricane, it was refurbished as a cottage in 1968, and has recently (2015) undergone another up-grade and modernization.
The building has very thick stone walls……making for a cool interior…. in European Farmhouse style, and is essentially one room internally with a partition separating off the bedroom from the open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas. On each side of the building there are extensive verandas giving a choice of lounging space, either to avoid the sun as it moves overhead, or to catch the constant breezes on the Eastern side and the glorious sunsets over the Harbour on the Western side. .
Although built in the Great House grounds, which comprise 10 acres of landscaped gardens and orchards, Craigston Chapel is far enough from the main house for it to be completely private, and, although accessed through the main gate, has its own side drive and parking.
This is a very charming cottage, with all needed amenities including free WiFi and lovely views of the town and harbour. It is nestled against park-like mature trees on the Eastern side. The Chapel is cleaned weekly including a change of linen and towels including beach towels.
This cottage is ideal for a couple, but could accommodate one over 12 child on a roll away bed if desired. There is a charge for this rollaway. The Chapel is within easy walking distance of the main town of Hillsborough and several beaches.
This is an ideal, historic and very affordable, location from which to explore and enjoy Carriacou.

Response from the owner Thank you for your very generous and heart-warming review of our "Craigston Chapel" . We note, and will pass on to her, your praise for our Housekeeper and Cook......and marmalade maker......Faithlyn. We could not offer the ambiance and service we, and they, take such great pride in without our gardeners Michael and Alden, and Faithlyn herself. Their relationships at Craigston go back many years to my parents' time. Thank you again for your lovely review. We truly appreciate your taking the time to post it and hope to welcome back at some point in the future. Trevor. Hazel Ann, Faithlyn, Michael and Alden .....and our felines Flopsy and Mopsy

Response from the owner This is a very special review of our converted little 'Chapel"and Carriacou, her History and her people, for which we thank you very sincerely. We are touched by your enthusiasm for a place we call home. Carriacou has spread her charm over you, as she does repeatedly to so many others, and you have responded in kind. It was a pleasure to share our home with you, and to get to know you during your stay. We have repeatedly found that visitors to our island travel 'off the beaten path', with interesting stories to tell, and you are no exception. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Thank you.
