Accommodation
   
 

Most of our accommodation is in the Shrine Grounds just a short walk to the Shrine itself and the Refectory. Our bedrooms are many and varied and comes in all shapes and sizes depending on where they are and how old the building is!  We have a limited number of ground floor and disabled rooms, so priority is always given to those in most need.

We have two recently refurbished cottages on Knight Street - St Monica and St Columba; each sleeps seven persons. These cottages can be used out of season for a self-catering break.  For further details see the Conference and Out of Season page.

 

Richeldis HouseRicheldis House is named after the lady whose vision it was to build the first Shrine in Walsingham. Some parts of Richeldis House are very old, but mostly it is a new building with modern facilities, television  lounge, refreshment points and a beautiful upstairs lounge overlooking the main street. There is a lift in this building for those people who find climbing stairs a bit difficult or impossible.

St JosephSt Joseph’s is our disabled facility and has easy access to all the ground floor rooms. There is also a lounge with television and refreshment points throughout the building.

St Anne’s is an old building recently refurbished during the building of the Refectory. It is ideal as a small retreat house or conference facility. More details of St. Anne’s are available on request.

St CluthbertAll our accommodation is warm and comfortable, with a selection of single, twin, double, and family rooms. If you are interested in visiting yourself or want to organise a group, then please telephone or e-mail the Accommodation Office (see below) first and check our availability to avoid disappointment. Weekends in the season are always busy and need to be booked well in advance. Group booking begins in January for the following year.

  Stella Maris

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stella Maris* is our oldest building, right by the archway into the Shrine grounds. It was originally the Priory where the Sisters first welcomed pilgrims to stay with them. In this building one of the lounges is called the ‘Green Room’ where we welcome groups on their arrival and help them find their rooms. Pilgrims often come with groups from their Church, Fellowship or Cell, but  we welcome individuals as well. In Stella Maris there is a television room and smaller, quieter lounges where pilgrims can spend time alone if they wish.


*During 2007 - 2008

building work will commence to modernise one half of Stella Maris and to add on the Milner Wing. This will provide a Visitor Centre, Pilgrim Reception area and a range of en-suite accommodation, including rooms for the disabled and their carers.  If you would like to know more about this exciting project please go to the Walsingham Appeal pages.
