Living with Host
We’re theatre people who understand what guests need — whether that’s some quiet privacy or a chat over a cup of tea (or even a glass of wine, if you time it right!). We want you to feel completely comfortable and at home.
You’ll have a bright single room with a desk, a kettle, and tea and coffee. You’re also very welcome to use our kitchen to make hot drinks. Help yourself to toast etc for breakfast and let us know if you have dietary preferences.
We share our home with our lovely old cat, Tommy, who’s very much part of the family. Smokers are welcome, but we ask that you only smoke outside.
Guests are welcome to use the kitchen to put simple meals together food, and there’s additional fridge space if needed. You’re also welcome to do the occasional load of washing during your stay. Please read our reviews -we look forward to welcoming you!
Guest Parking
Convenient parking options are available — pay to park directly outside the property via the PayByPhone app, or enjoy free weekend parking just a short distance up the hill.
The Area and Transport
We’re perfectly located for easy access to the Theatre — there’s a bus stop less than a minute from our front door that takes you straight there in about 10 minutes. Or, if you prefer, it’s a lovely 15–20 minute downhill walk right into the centre of town, where the theatre is located.
From outside the house, you can see the sea at the bottom of the hill, and it’s just a 10-minute stroll to the waterfront, where you’ll find fantastic cafés, bars, and plenty of fresh sea air.
There are also several great pubs just nearby, or you can take a short walk into Kemptown to explore its vibrant mix of cafes, restaurants and bars.

It was a pleasure to meet you Claire.
Jenny and Roger were lovely and accomodating, the room was clean amd comfortable, and a very good location if you can manage the hill! Would recommend.

Jenny, Rodger and their entire family were so incredibly welcoming and kind when I stayed in their home - I am not sure if I have ever had theatre digs like this before. It was truly like staying with a family and at this point in my travels their kindness was gratefully received. They go well beyond being "good hosts" and are simply lovely humans. Their home is in a friendly neighborhood with plenty of coffee shops and within a short distance of the theatres - a great location.

Thanks Dan, you were a very courteous guest! I agree Brighton hills are a killer and can't be avoided unless you take the bus!
Very cozy room, very welcoming and easy going hosts! I had a lovely stay, thank you!

Very accommodating couple also in the business so understand what actors like. There are busses and it is a long walk up a big hill.

Due to my tour schedule I wasn’t able to spend a lot of time in the digs, however, the room was very lovely and a short walk from the theatre royal. Jenny was a very inviting host. Thank you.
