The Chapel is a fantastic place for a couple's retreat. The entire place is filled with light, even in winter, and it feels as though you're suspended in a forest. We really enjoyed sitting in the huge window box and reading. Annie provided us with enough breakfast provisions to sustain us for the 4 days we were there, and the main shopping strip was only a 10 minute walk away whenever we needed lunch, dinner or a coffee. Bring some comfy sneakers for the walk, as The Chapel is on a steep set of back streets, or just drive the 2-3 minutes into town (but where's the fun in that?!).
Aside from the accommodation, there's plenty to do in Lorne and the surrounding coast and countryside that you won't get bored with quickly.
