St Winefride's Guest House is run by the Sisters of St. Bridget of Sweden (Bridgettine Sisters), who arrived in Holywell in 2008. The Sisters' main obligation is Liturgical prayer and the daily divine office — each day they take part in Holy Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
The guest house is well known for providing the best hospitality and the Sisters' work of Ecumenism. They particularly welcome those seeking space for stillness, quiet, rest and deeper reflection on their spiritual life. All are welcome — of every faith and none.
