Living with Host
Beautiful double bedroom on the top floor of our 3 story town house. Overlooks the garden on the back of the house.
Room includes wardrobe, drawers, bedside units with lights, full length mirror, hair dryer, clothes horse, kettle.
Bathroom on your floor which is shared by our full time tenant who occupies the front bedroom. He is also in the business, often away on work, so you will often have the bathroom to yourself.
Downstairs you have use of the open plan kitchen/living/dining area.
Parking - there are visitor spaces which are free to park in between 6pm and 8am on weekdays, and all day at weekends. They are available on a first come first served basis. Outside of these times, it is permit only, and we are sadly unable to offer you a permit. But we can recommend free street parking 5-10min walk away.
Theatre - very close, approx 10min walk away.
Train Station - very close, approx 8min walk.
Your Hosts - Darren and Jonathan. We are both also working in the business and will sometimes be away on work. We understand how important nice digs are when away from home. This is our first property, and we are incredibly house proud! All we ask are the normal kind of things like please remove you shoes at the door, wash up, and generally keep the room clean and tidy. Basically treat it with care and respect, and as if it were your own! Otherwise, we are very easy going, and want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. We certainly won't be bothering you!
Please note we do have a cat called Alanna. She is short-haired so you won't find hair everywhere. She is not allowed in your room. She is also quite cautious of strangers so will likely be nervous to meet you.

Lovely house, clean and comfy. The bedroom was a great size and the bed itself was super comfortable. It had everything I needed while away from home, just a shame that I can’t pick it up and take it to all my touring venues! Darren was really friendly and helpful. I’d happily return.
