Living with Host
Our house is a Victorian terraced house . The rooms have high ceilings and are spacious. The loft room is newly decorated and has a blackout blind . The bed is a king size and is new.
The cheery double has the most comfortable double bed ever! I love this room!
I never , usually, take on more than one guest at a time so that the house is not too crowded and you have privacy and time from fellow colleagues!
Guest Parking
Parking is street parking.
The Area and Transport
Our home is just a stones throw from Sunderland Sea front where there are numerous restaurants, shops and bars. We are within walking distance to the theatre as well as on a bus route to the city centre.
The spaces we have are newly decorated , clean and bright and homely where you can relax after a hectic day at the theatre.
You are most welcome to cook and use our kitchen and facilities.
I am around a great deal and happy to accommodate any requirements!

Couldn't have asked for more from Bethan and Dave, they were wonderful hosts, and the digs being so near Roker Beach made working in Sunderland feel like a holiday. Super accomodating and helpful, they made me feel completely at home. Would absolutely stay again.

And we would absolutely have you again! X
I had the loveliest stay with Bethan and Dave. They have a beautiful, warm home. My attic room was clean and comfortable, and they very generously provided food, tea and coffee for breakfast.
The theatre is walkable in about 30 minutes. There is also a bus, or uber if the weather is inclement. Overall, exactly as described, and I’d happily stay here again next time I’m in Sunderland!

Beth and Dave were brilliant hosts, so kind and welcoming. Their home is warm, clean and very comfortable. The stay was lovely, but it did feel a bit far from the theatre (I had to get quite a few ubers in and out as the buses weren't very regular or reliable) - everything else was fab!

Bethan and Dave are the most fabulous friendly hosts, providing very comfortable accommodation in a beautifully presented home, making one feel very welcome and relaxed.
Most recommendable, very easy to get in and out of theatre with public transport and one must make use of the wonderful seafront walks along Roker promenade and beaches.. (weather permitting😆) Next visit to Sunderland I will not hesitate to see if there is availability to stay again.

Brilliant stay, home from home, Dave and Bethany were excellent hosts, very welcoming
10th Dec 2024
An absolutely wonderful experience with a fantastic big room with plenty of space and storage room and a Television with Sky TV as well. Few minutes walk to the beach and sea if that, very close to the theatre and even closer to a big shops complex and 24/7 pure gym. Fantastic warm hosts, both Bethan and David were very friendly and helpful with everything I could want. I would be delighted to stay there again, a wonderful experience.

I had a lovely stay whilst I attended a summer school, in a gloriously sunny week, it was great to have the beach just a few minutes away.
3rd Aug 2024
Sorry you felt the cleanliness wasn't up to full marks . Having changed rooms for you very quickly, the room was just given a quick wipe over .
Hope you got home safely and your knee coped with the journey.
Beth & Dave are terrific, warm hosts who made me feel like family. They have some great recommendations for restaurants and pubs too! I loved staying here. I had gorgeous room and a comfy bed. It's a 25 minute walk to the theatre (for short legs like mine!) and right next to Roker Beach - which is great for a bit of down time. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
6th Jul 2024
Very open, clean and comfortable room. Not too difficult to get to the Empire. hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
9th Apr 2024

What a fantastic stay, and a lovely couple! Felt like I was spending the week with family.
A lovely home. Super clean and homely. Right by the beach and marina, so plenty of good walks. Lots of good restaurants within a stones throw too.
Theatre is an easy 25 minute walk. Flat with no hills.
Thank you Beth and Dave. You were wonderful, and I’d stay again in a heartbeat.xx

A gorgeous house filled with very lovely people. Always felt very looked after and thought of which was very nice. The loft room was a very nice hangout spot for my day off also which is a big bonus along with a very comfy bed. Definitely recommend

It was just lovely having you in our house! Welcome anytime you like! X
Having never stayed in someone's home while working away, I was a bit unsure as to what I was getting into. It was, in fact, a dream!
Beth and David are just superb. They could not have been more welcoming, warm and friendly.

This was avvery positive experience for me.These are the best kind of people. Homely, helpful & kind. Just like staying with family. My stay in Sunderland was wonderful, I would book again. Sad to leave.
19th Nov 2018
It was so lovely meeting you and having you in our house. Thank you for the card and biscuits.. so kind. Keep in touch xxx
If in Sunderland (or Newcastle - 30 mins on the Metro) then you have to stay at Beth's. Her house is beautiful, warm & comfortable, in a quiet location 2 min from the beach & 25 min walk to the Empire. And Beth & her family are just wonderful hosts.
5th Nov 2018
Great hosts. Friendly, informative and helpful. Nice big airy room. Great location being 2 minutes from the sea and 20 minute stroll to theatre. Highly recommend this place.
30th Sep 2018

Aw thanks Brett. Hope you are well and that you've managed to spend some time with Emily. Take care z

26th Sep 2017
Ha! We might not have you!
