HOLIDAYMAKERS can rest in peace when staying at a converted funeral home decorated with coffins and embalming tables in Bromsgrove.

The luxury one-bed properties include the Chapel and the Well House where a Frenchman mysteriously drowned in the 18th century.

The spooky £195-a-night holiday cottages were formerly a funeral home, a small church with a graveyard and a well house.

Owners Stuart and Victoria Dudley converted the derelict buildings in Finstall into three luxury holiday lets.

Many of the original features remain intact, including a line of coffins inside the cottage which still displays the sign ‘Funeral Director’.

Stuart, 44, an architect, admits many guests have reported hearing strange noises and feeling spooky chills in many of the rooms.

He said: “In the Well House, the legend is a French gentleman drowned in the 18th century.

“We have had numerous guests stay who have been into spiritual healing and witchcraft and many who have stayed said they have felt a presence in this property.

“This is often described as a sense of change of temperature, or they have seen orbs in the photographs they have taken when they go and view them again.

“At night we’ve heard strange sounds and when we’ve gone to check it out there’s
nothing there.”

Victoria, 49, said: “When we refurbished this property, we tried to retain as many of existing features that we could which had been hidden away under the plaster or left and not exposed.”

The chapel, funeral and graveyard date back to the 17th century while the farm used to collect apples and pears which were made into cider.
