Since the 1600s

A vicarage by the River Dane

The Old Vicarage is a beautifully refurbished 23-bedroom property, set alongside the River Dane with picturesque views across the Cheshire countryside. Dating back to the 1600s, this Grade II listed former vicarage seamlessly combines historic character with contemporary interiors.

Located in the heart of Holmes Chapel, the riverside setting provides a peaceful and scenic environment for guests. Original features, including exposed wooden beams & twin fireplaces, complement the modern design while retaining the building’s unique charm.

Situated just moments from the village church, the property has a rich connection to the local community & its history. It was once home to the clergy of Holmes Chapel, who would make the short journey to the church for services & ceremonies.

Today, The Old Vicarage offers a distinctive setting for dining, accommodation, events & weddings, bringing together heritage, comfort & the beauty of the surrounding Cheshire countryside.
