Messages from our guests
Thank you Anne, we had a lovely day and we have loved staying in your church! Not only the amazing building and decor, but the fact you have supplied every possible implement we could wish for and then some! Such incredible attention to detail in all respects. We wish you all the best in your rental venture going forward and we’ll recommend WOC to our friends and family. Andy and Julia: December 2024
This stunning passive house conversion of a former church is truly inspiring. The interior is beautifully designed, everything is well thought out, high quality plus plenty of space for our family of 4. The attention to detail is exceptional in all areas. Lynn: February 2025
Thank you for sharing this unique Passivhaus / church with us. It was “as seen on TV”, well laid out with home from home facilities. The beautifully restored stained-glass windows created a very special atmosphere as the sun set. It was a pleasure to use the high-end furnishings and the state-of-the-art kitchen and spa-like bathrooms. Thank you for a wonderful, luxurious and comfortable stay. Susan: March 2025
Thank you, we’ve had a wonderful time. We’ve visited pretty much all the local Roman sites, walked a bit of the wall and had a great meal at the pub tonight. We also watched your TV show…😲 in awe of what you took on and have achieved. House is perfect and very special. Thanks so much for having us. Gilly: May 2025
We had seen pictures of property but we were not prepared for the quality of the finish, fixtures and fittings, which were of the highest standard and which gave a level of luxury to our stay that was beyond our expectations! This conversion had clearly been a labour of love.
The experience of staying in a passive house was unique and not to be missed: an insight
into a home of the future in a historic building. We were there to celebrate the 60th birthday of one of the guests but it was this that made the experience of our stay so memorable.
We cannot recommend this one-of-a-kind-in the-world property highly enough!! Thank you! JV: June 2025
The home, a stunning church conversion and certified passive house, is far more beautiful in person than in photos. Every detail — from premium kitchenware to the elegant design — radiates luxury. It even includes two complimentary EV chargers.
The location is peacefully remote, yet only 20 minutes from shops and perfect for exploring the Lake District or heading into Scotland. The backyard opens into serene, uninterrupted views. Truly a tranquil retreat.
Highly recommend taking a day just to enjoy the home itself. Can’t wait to return! Hari, July 2025
