As a pilgrim or retreatant you can come and stay at Marygate House as our guest.
Marygate House is a large georgian house located in the centre of Holy Island's village. There are six bedrooms with shared bathrooms and toilets. The comfortable library is kept as a space for silence, whilst the sitting room you can enjoy quiet conversation.
Individuals come for many reasons. People come on retreat, to pray and take time to listen to God on this wonderful island. We can offer guidance and support, but many come with their own programme to follow. We are pleased to make arrangements to suit the individual in as far as we can. Some people come for a rest from busy lifestyles, or to recover from significant life events or illness. Others come to clear their minds to think something through, or to get ready for a big life event.
You are welcome to come as our guest for up to six nights. We have a minimum stay of two nights. We are not able to receive new guests arriving on a Sunday, or to provide a cooked meal on a Sunday evening. We offer set menus, but can cater for most medical diets, which we must be informed of at the time of booking.
We do not charge or take deposits, we are a charity which relies on guest's donations to survive, we have no other sources of funding. Presently it costs us about £65 per day per guest to provide Marygate House, we would ask that you take this into account when considering a donation.
