Chapel House is situated in a peaceful hamlet, The Green, on the north-western fringe of the village of East Knoyle. The area lies in the Cranborne Chase and West Wilts Downs AONB. The Green itself is a collection of houses and has a popular pub, The Fox and Hounds. The neighbouring village of East Knoyle is a vibrant community with good local facilities including a community run village shop/post office, village hall, parish church and playground. The north Dorset Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury has a range of shops, supermarkets, eateries, a secondary school, cottage hospital and is particularly famous for the picturesque steep cobbled street of Gold Hill.
There are railway stations at Tisbury and Gillingham with direct rail services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country. The local road network gives ready access to the other main towns in the area including Bath, Blandford, Salisbury, Sherborne, Warminster and Wincanton as well as to the South Coast whilst the A303 trunk road linking with the M3 motorway, makes London accessible for the motorist.
Located in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where the Nadder Valley, West Wiltshire Downs and the Blackmore Vale all meet, the area is an ideal base from which to explore the local countryside and for a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding and cycling as well as traditional field sports. There are golf courses at Tollard Royal, Salisbury, Sherborne and Warminster with racing at Bath, Salisbury and Wincanton and sailing at Shearwater near Warminster. There are many places of interest to visit such as Old Wardour Castle, the Longleat Estate, Sherborne Castle, Stourhead Gardens, Wilton House and the Fovant Badges.
