Living with Host
We have a really spacious, double loft room with a desk, armchair and a private bathroom with your own shower and toilet. It's very quiet and self-contained on the top floor of our house, with black-out blinds and curtains.
You will also be very welcome to use the kitchen/dining room and garden. You can share the many cooking oils and ingredients we have, and use the milk and butter in the fridge. Our house is in a quiet street next to beautiful Cutteslowe park, with Summertown and central Oxford just a short bus ride away. We also have a cat.
The bus stop into town is less than 5 minutes from us, the services are really frequent and run until very late. The bus stop from town is minutes from both the New Theatre and Oxford Playhouse.
North Wall theatre is a 25-minute walk or a 10-minute bus ride.
To reach Oxford Playhouse and the New Theatre in town, it's a 20-minute bus ride. We also have a free, off-street parking spot (it's very expensive to park in Oxford!).

Thanks for a great review, Joseph. It was really good to meet you - thanks for being such a lovely guest and we'd love to have you back!!
My favourite digs that I've stayed in on tour by a country mile! I was made to feel so welcome and I loved being in the house and meeting Kath (and all the family!). The room was large, private and incredibly clean with lots of natural light. The location was great - though a bus ride away from the theatre you could get pretty much any bus that came to the closest bus stop which was so handy. If I go on another tour these will be the first digs I book!

Hi Natalie - thanks very much for such a positive review! Do stay again!
Wonderful stay in Oxford. Kath and Ron are great hosts, very friendly and helpful, and their home is beautiful. Lovely calm quiet area, the room is huge and the bed is super comfy with a great bathroom . Easy bus ride to the theatre. Thank you so much for having me - I would love to stay again!
15th Dec 2025
Well you were a perfect guest - so friendly and easy to host! Thank you for a great review. We really enjoyed your stay with us, and we'd love to see you again if you're in Oxford!
I had a wonderful stay with Kath and Ron, the attic conversion makes for a great big space to relax in after the show while still having the comforts of the kitchen close by. The buses are very frequent so you feel you’re still in the centre of Oxford. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Oxford
13th Dec 2025
I had a wonderful stay with Kath and Ron - they made me feel totally at home and I had everything I could need. A lovely spacious room at the top of the house with my own bathroom, free parking and a short bus ride from the end of the road took me straight to the theatre. Thank you so much guys for making Oxford such a lovely stop on the tour!
1st Nov 2025
Thanks for a smashing review Oscar. You've been a lovely guest and you'll be very welcome back when you're next in Oxford!!
Have just had the most pleasant of weeks with Kath & Ron in their beautiful home whilst performing at the New Theatre Oxford. They are the most wonderful hosts and I had some great chats with them both . The room is at the top of the house and is massive with its own adjoining bathroom . Really comfy bed and very quiet where they live . Free driveway parking . I got the bus in and out of work which took 20 mins and cost £20 for a weekly ticket. Can’t wait to return next time I’m in Oxford.

Thank you so much for a great review, Dave. We really enjoyed having you stay with us as well and were so grateful for how considerate you were about everything!! Thanks for mentioning the buses - as you say, it's so easy to get into town! Looking forward to seeing you next time you're in Oxford!!
I had such a wonderful stay with Kath and Ron! Thank you so much for having me and making me feel so welcome! The bedroom is incredibly comfortable, a fantastic size, and own showroom and toilet, all on the top floor makes it a very private stay! Thanks again for having me, I would absolutely stay again!
13th Aug 2025
Thank you so much for a great review Jessica. You were a lovely guest, and it was great to get to know you a little! Do come again if you are in Oxford, you will be very welcome!
Perfect stay with Kath and Ron, who were warm, friendly, hospitable hosts and made me feel right at home, just lovely people. Location was ideal, super easy bus, stop only a few mins walk away with buses running every 5-10 mins and felt very safe, total journey time to theatre less than 20 mins. Loft room was huge, clean and cosy, had everything I needed and felt really private, bed was comfy. Parking space on the drive very useful. Would absolutely stay again!

Thanks for a great review Abbie. You were a lovely guest to have stay - very friendly and great to get to know. Thanks for pointing out how easy it is to get here! It must look far out on a map, but it really isn't difficult to get to with a really good bus service. And so pleased it felt safe too! It would be great to see you again if you're back in Oxford!
Do need a bus to the theatre but they are super frequent and you can get a weekly ticket on the bus. Absolutely beautiful huge house with a gorgeous kitchen and room is huge with a very comfy chair. Would be my first choice for Oxford in the future. Loved that the room and bathroom were on a level pretty seperate (top floor) from the house so felt I could own my space and wonder freely.
2nd Apr 2025
Thanks so much Luke for a great review. You were a lovely guest and I'm glad you felt so comfortable. Do stay again if you're in Oxford!
Some of the best digs in Oxford! Very nice house with a lovely couple! Easy on the bus into town and they even run all night! 100% would stay again!
17th Mar 2025
Thanks so much Tyler - you were a really lovely guest to have stay with us. Thanks for pointing out how easy it is to get into town from where we are! Do stay again if you're in Oxford!
Wonderful accomodation, had a very pleasant stay with Kath & Ron. Lovely hosts who were extremely helpful. A few minutes walk to the bus stop, lots of buses and reasonable for a weekly pass.
I will be back the next time I'm in Oxford.
4th Mar 2025
Thanks so much Kevin - you were great company and we loved having you stay! It's a shame Esther (our cat!) was a bit shy! Do come and stay again.
Lovely large room and bathroom, nice and warm but also airy with lots of light. So quiet and peaceful! Also an easy frequent bus in and out of town. Would heartily recommend!
25th Dec 2024

30th Sep 2024
Thanks Charlie!
Kath and Ron are wonderful people. The loft room is stunning and they made me feel so at home. Welcoming, friendly, warm, open - the perfect hosts. The home is a short bus ride away from the centre. Easy and affordable. I can't wait to tour in Oxford again just to stay with them!
23rd Sep 2024

Thank you Ellie. You were a lovely guest to have stay - very friendly and easy to get on with and very tidy!! Do come back and stay if you're in Oxford again, we'd love to have you.
Had a lovely week in Oxford. Kath was kind enough to let my friend from the tour stay in the room for the week as well when we arrived, as he’d had a digs nightmare himself. Super accommodating, really friendly and a great place. Had some good chats about life and the world, and I definitely felt like one of the family for the week.
17th May 2024
Josh, thank you for such a great review. I'm glad we were able to help your mate, and you were both great guests! Very friendly, respectful and all round lovely! I enjoyed our chats and we were both really happy that you fit so well with our household. Good luck with the rest of the tour!
What a fantastic digs experience. The best I've ever had. The attention to detail from the moment I arrived was so wonderful. Kath and her husband were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend staying here.
29th Apr 2024
Thank you so much Ashleigh, we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay! It was lovely to meet you - do come again!
This room was such a peaceful haven! I couldn't wait to wake up each day to watch the sunrise from the huge windows, or get back at night to sink into the comfy luxurious bedding! Lots of thoughtful touches throughout.
Kath and Ron were delightful and extremely accommodating. Their large kitchen was big enough for us all to cook in at the same time without getting under each others feet and it was lovely meeting the family as they came and went from day to day.
Just perfect. 100% staying again.
15th Jan 2024
What a lovely review Emily - thank you!! Do come and stay again!!
I just had to return to Kath and Ron’s digs for the second half of my Xmas stay in Oxford. They are the best, and the digs really are fantastic!
7th Jan 2024
It was lovely to have you back with us Jordan. Hope to see you when you're next in Oxford!
The best digs I’ve ever stayed in! Kath and Ron are so welcoming and kind. They understand the industry and the needs of performers. The room is very big and full of natural light, and the en suite is great! Bus ride into town was very simple. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
24th Dec 2023
Well Jordan has been such a lovely guest: friendly and lovely to get to know! He’s also incredibly organised and considerate. It’s been great having him stay!!
I had a wonderful stay with Kath. The room was perfect and super comfortable and the bathroom was clean and fresh. Super easy buses into and out of town that run so regularly. I would be delighted to stay again. Thank you

Kath and Ron have the best digs. That's it! First of all, a lovely room, acres of space and private ensuite. All top notch.
Secondly, great location. Parking available, and a super easy £2 bus ride. Finally they are absolutely wonderful. Thank you!
