An elegant church conversion with soothing green views, peacefully located in the historic Scottish market town of Strathaven for divine group breaks. Sleeping up to 19 guests, East Church House provides a truly breath-taking setting for groups of family and friends to congregate in style. The church comprises 1 x Master Suite, 5 Super-King Bedrooms, 2 x Twin Bedrooms, 1 x Triple Bedroom. Inside, the style is an intriguing mix of old and new, with sumptuous furnishings and high-end fittings complementing the church's original features, which include the original pulpit and stunning full-height stained glass windows. Accommodation is generously spaced across three levels, with nine individually styled bedrooms that are perfect for couples and families. Head up to the central floor to discover the main entrance hall, adorned with artwork on display from the John Hastie Museum Trust. This floor is also home to a magnificent open plan space with plush seating and a woodburning stove, further casual lounge areas, and a fabulously equipped kitchen with island seating. Enjoy a feast at the spectacular ‘last supper'-style dining table, with seating for 20 people.
Welcome to East Church House, a truly remarkable property. East Church House provides a truly breath-taking setting for groups of family and friends to congregate in style. Inside, the style is an intriguing mix of old and new, with sumptuous furnishings and high-end fittings complementing the church's original features, which include the original pulpit and stunning full-height stained glass windows.
This superb nine bedroom (19 person) former church is located in the historic market town of Strathaven, South Lanarkshire. Strathaven is home to Scotland’s only annual Hot Air Balloon Festival, with everything from the castle and its 'white lady' ghost to the park and its famous Wee Train. Care to wander outside? You'll have direct access to the park, which is strewn with flower beds and picnic tables. There's a bar and restaurant at the end, overlooking the Powmillon burn, if you don't feel like straying too far... from here you can sit back and admire views of the church, as you sip your chilled glass of wine! Meander into Strathaven to browse its independent shops, quaint coffee houses, and places of interest that include the Strathaven Hotel, designed by Robert Adam Jr in the 18th century. Slightly further afield await activities of just about every description, from paintballing to an indoor tropical rainforest - not to mention a hot air balloon festival in the summer! So you can be sure that your break at East Church House will include something to suit everyone, before you come together again to swap excited stories by evensong.
