Individuals
It can take courage to go away on your own, but we are here to welcome you.
I found Holy Rood House a sanctuary…
when the sea was flooding in it gave me calm
so I could test the water again and not be scared.
Quotes from our guests
You can come and stay at Holy Rood as an individual for a few nights or as part of an organised retreat or event.
We usually offer individual guests the opportunity to stay between Monday teatime until Friday after breakfast. Guests may choose to stay for just one or two nights so please contact us and discuss your requirements.
We don’t organise a midweek programme but offer a gentle rhythm of prayers and mealtimes which can help you through the day. See A Typical Day. Guests have access to the creative arts room, our gardens and the lovely market town of Thirsk, which is just 5 minutes away.
There is a chaplain available most days for company and conversation. If you would like to book a one-to-one session in advance of your stay, please let us know on the
booking form here. You might like to look at the different options available here.
If you decide that you would like to speak to someone after you have arrived please talk to the chaplain or to one of the Community members and we will try to arrange that for you.
