Had a fantastic stay here. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Tony let me use a parking permit for the convenient parking on the road outside and it was an easy 15 minute walk to the Theatre Royal. Super spacious room, comfy bed and the roll top bath in the room was fabulous! My first choice for Newcastle digs in the future. Thank you for having me!

Oh my goodness! By far the best hosts and by far the most stunning house, I have ever had the pleasure in staying in. Absolute class throughout, I sat on the steps before I left and actually got upset because I didn’t want to leave 😢. Tony and Alison were so friendly and rescued me from a terrible experience with previous digs. I was excited and grateful to come home there every night after the show. They are thoroughly good people and a plethora of CLASS! Hope to go back one day!! THANK YOU XX

Alison and Anthony were wonderful hosts. Their son is in theatre so they understand what performers need on tour. Kind , welcoming but also gave you your space . Close enough on double show days to nip home between. I loved my cosy wee room and got the best sleep!

Thank you, both!

Some of the best digs I've had the pleasure of staying in! The attic room was a total treat - peaceful, very clean, comfortable & offers all one could need. There is also a wet room downstairs if you need a shower. Kitchen is lovely & clean. Alison & Tony are delightful hosts, so relaxed, welcoming & easy to talk to. There's even 'house cake' should you fancy a slice! Super central but at the same time very quiet as it is tucked away down a beautiful cobblestone street. Thank you Alison & Tony!
