Visit England 3 Star.. One of four properties imaginatively created in this former place of worship, Holy Waters has been cleverly designed to make best use of the architectural details of the church.
The setting of the house is delightful, the garden running alongside the River Gowan, the presence and sound of flowing water always a welcome backdrop for a relaxing holiday.
In the centre of Staveley, Holy Waters has all the great amenities of this flourishing village within a few steps and being at the foot of the Kentmere Valley, synonymous with great walking and cycling, this hidden gem of Lakeland is simply the ideal choice for a self catering break.

It was our second visit to Holy Waters. It was great to walk into the place and know where everything was… it felt like home from home, this visit. The only negative being, not having access to the usual car parking space.

Holy Waters is an excellent base from which to explore the Lake District. It is well equipped, comfortable, and close to all the local amenities.
