Living with Host
1 lovely room in large family house, large single/small double (bed is 4' wide.) 1.3 miles from theatre district.
Washbasin in bedroom and bathroom along the landing (not ensuite, so bring a dressing gown) with bath, shower, WC and bidet (this bathroom not usually used by family).
Use of kitchen, microwave, WiFi and garden. I will do washing, no tumble drier so we need to liases over this! No guest pets allowed. Strictly no smokers. Sorry, no cooking after evening shows please, but bringing in take-away is no problem.
I supply towels and hairdryer.
We have one well-behaved cat (Mittens). Definitely NOT allowed in bedrooms!
Guest Parking
We don't have any designated parking spaces. Parking here is on-street (free) on the opposite side of the road to our house.
The Area and Transport
We're on a main road into the town but the guest bedroom is at back of the house so it's very quiet.
It takes 20-30 minutes to walk to the theatres, quicker if you go through town, longer (but more scenic) if you go along the seafront.
There'a a bus stop a few doors along, the bus will take you into the town centre, but then it's still a short walk from there to the theatres.

Roughly 20mins to walk to the theatre via the town centre but a flat and easily manageable walk.
Will stay again.
