Living with Host
A real home from home. Although the facilities are shared with me, I work full time and as my reviews describe guests and I are very much like ships in the night! Checking you have all you need, with full use of all facilities, ensuring that you have rest and comfort during your busy shows is very important for your stay and has been enjoyed by many guests.
Guest Parking
Parking is permit only and subject to availability, if this is something you will need, please enquire with me before booking for details and availability.
The Area and Transport
The location is perfect for you, with a 10 minute walk to either the New Theatre or Playhouse. I could describe many highlights, one of the biggest - as reflected in the price is that you will have the whole flat to yourself whilst I am at work, but recommend you take a look at the reviews I have received from other theatre professionals for their highlights :)

Emma is the perfect host and her flat is absolutely lovely! A really short walk to the theatre/town and also has parking. I had a wonderful time with Emma - even though we were on opposite schedules so I had the flat to myself most of the week, when we did cross paths she was so helpful and friendly :). I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind review Emma and for being such a wonderful guest. It has been great to meet you and so pleased you had a great week - good luck with your tour and running and thank you for being everything a host could wish for! Until next time ! X
I had the most wonderful stay with Emma in Oxford, [REMOVED]/10! Location is perfect, Emma is the kindest soul and you will basically have the flat to yourself due to the differing work schedules! Highly highly recommend and can't wait to hopefully be back!
1st Jun 2026
Thank you for your lovely review Olivia. I take great pride in hosting and ensuring comfort and space. So great to meet you - come back soon! Xx
Staying with Emma was sadly all too brief as was only working for 3 days in Oxford. Comfortable, with everything you might need and amazing to be within such easy distance of the centre. Emma is a really welcoming and generous host and has a great understanding of what people working in theatre might need. I’d love to stay again!

Thank you so much for your lovely review - agree too short and would love you to stay again! So pleased you enjoyed your stay and your play was a hit! You all work so hard that being able to welcome and provide you with all you need and comfort is a joy for me to provide. Until next time !! X
My stay with Emma was superb! The flat is so homely, it feels like you're coming back home after a long day. The bedroom is spacious, bright and really comfortable. The entire place was spotless!
The walk to the Playhouse is 10 minutes and managed to come back for a break in between shows.
Emma is a wonderful, kind host. I felt very well looked after and cared for. It's a lovely place to stay and will definitely be back when working in Oxford. THANK YOU!
11th Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, an absolute joy to meet you and thoroughly enjoyed our chats - more next time ! Enjoy your tour - do come back you are very very welcome xx
Emma was such a lovely and warm host!! Her place was cute and cozy. Really good walking distance to the theatre and Westgate in case you have time for a little shopping! Would definitely stay here again if I tour to Oxford in the future :)
2nd Mar 2026
Thank you so much for your beautiful review, Paris. It truly means so much to me. I’m absolutely delighted that you felt comfortable and relaxed during your stay. Even though our schedules were opposite, I’m so happy you were able to fully unwind (and enjoy a little shopping too 😉). Wishing you an amazing rest of your tour. You’ll always have the warmest welcome here anytime! X
I had a lovely time at Emmas Digs. She truly was a 10/10 host and I felt so comfortable and relaxed. It’s only a 10 min walk to the New Theatre which is incredible and I loved getting to catch up with Emma briefly during the week. I would recommend her digs to anyone staying in Oxford.
17th Feb 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. I also appreciate the heads-up on the kitchen floor, I’ve been dealing with a temporary back ache that made it difficult to be as thorough as I usually am with the sweeping! I'm sorry for the oversight, but I’m glad everything else was perfect. You’re welcome back anytime! X
I had such a lovely stay here. So close to the theatres. And very comfortable. Emma was really welcoming and very helpful.. Such a lovely person. The only downside was not having enough time to chat to her! Would definitely stay again.
28th Jan 2026
Thank you so much Teresa, really lovely to meet you and look forward to continuing our chats when you return ! Have a great tour best wishes x
Had the most amazing stay here with Emma. The room and flat are perfect and in such an ideal location for the theatres, only a 10 minute walk to the new theatre. Emma is also the most friendly host and made me feel so welcome the whole two weeks I stayed. Wonderful host, wonderful room and apartment, cannot recommend enough!
7th Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your kind review and I must say you were a wonderful guest ! Enjoyed our chats and so amazing to congratulate you on your awards - great couple of weeks - welcome back any time ! Best wishes xx
Was an absolute joy staying at lovely Emma’s home! She was so welcoming, made me a tea when I arrived and had a lovely chat. The flat was clean and the shower had great pressure which I had lovely hot showers in. Emma also had provided a plug in radiator in the bedroom so it was great for when I came back from cold days. It was a shame our schedules meant I didn’t see her much but it meant I had the whole flat to myself most of the time which was a treat. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much, Nissa, for your lovely review. I’m absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your stay and felt welcome, happy, and warm. I’m also very pleased the extra heating worked well for you, so important my guests can manage personal temperatures to make sure you are comfortable, while keeping in step with your own timing and routines.
Wishing you every success with your tour and all the adventures ahead. Safe travels, and you’re welcome back anytime! X
I had an absolutely lovely stay with Emma, who was so understanding when I needed to adjust how long I was staying for personal reasons. The room is so warm and comfy and I felt right at home, a really lovely time!

Thank you so much Maiya such a pleasure to meet you and thank you for being so wonderful - have a great tour - welcome back any time ! Xx
Emma was the perfect host and made my stay in Oxford easy and welcoming. Hers is a lovely, centrally based flat less than 10 minutes walk from the New Theatre. I had a lovely room with a great bed and because of our very different working hours, I had the place to myself most of the time. I will definitely return and highly recommend Emma as a friendly, attentive and warm host. A great stay.
29th Jul 2025
Thank you so much Joe, I’m thrilled you had a great stay, comfortable and slept well. You are a wonderful guest and welcome back anytime!
Had a heavenly stay at Emma's! Such a warm welcome and a beautiful comfortable flat. The flat was an easy 5-10 minutes walk to the Playhouse. Emma made me feel incredibly at home, and it was a very restful week all round. Would definitely book again!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m so pleased you had a good stay and look forward to welcoming you back!
Emma is a lovely host. She really allows you to make yourself at home in her flat.
Her schedule was opposite to mine, so I never really saw her in the flat! She did however come to the show and was super supportive. About a 10 min walk to the theatre too! A very sweet and endearing person! :)
6th Mar 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Matthew , such a pleasure to meet you and hugely inspiring. So happy you enjoyed your stay - welcome any time !! Best of luck with your tour - fabulous show ! Emma xx
Had a great week staying at Emma’s. Had a lovely friendly welcome and settled into my comfy room.
Was lovely to be able to use kitchen to make a cuppa and use the sitting room.
The flat is perfectly placed for working at the theatres in Oxford just a 10-15 min walk to the Playhouse.
Emma was such a lovely host and I will certainly be back next time I’m in Oxford.
6th Mar 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for being such a wonderful guest. I’m always delighted when a guest feels super comfortable and can relax amongst such busy schedules that you have. Missing our tea chats! Welcome back any time - we can share more travel destinations around!! Best wishes Emma. Xx
I had a wonderful stay with Emma. She is so welcoming and allows you complete privacy. Lovely warm flat with comfortable bed. I slept like a baby. I will book again if I visit Oxford. Very convenient for Theatre, shops and restaurants. Many thanks.
13th Jan 2025
Wonderful to meet you Marianne although I forgot to ask about how you got into Head of wigs. Thank you for being such a lovely guest - I didn’t hear you once ! Thank you for keeping everything so clean and tidy - highly recommend Marianne as your guest and very welcome to stay with me again! Enjoy your tour best wishes Emma xx
Absolutely loved staying with Emma! I wish I could have stayed longer! Emma is so friendly and kind and I felt at ease straight away and so comfortable. The flat is lovely and warm. I was so sad to leave and would defiantly stay again should I be in the area. So close to the theatre and all shops and centre. The room is spacious with lots of storage space. And a desk. I really hope we cross paths again and thank you for such a lovely stay.
11th Jan 2025

Hardly saw Emma but she was a lovely and very accommodating host! The room is super cosy and ideal location for New Theatre, would definitely recommend :)

A lovely stay with Emma despite being ships in the night! Great room and great location for the theatres.
29th Nov 2024
Thank you Kieran for your kind review, great to meet you and delighted you had a good stay, slept well and easy reach for the theatre. Very best wishes for your future tours, best wishes Emma
Emma is such a welcoming, thoughtful and kind host and I felt very well looked after while staying in her lovely home. The flat is a very nice walk to the Oxford New Theatre and located right near the trains station so could not be more convenient! The room was lovely and you have full use of the kitchen. Emma really helped make it feel like your home away from home while on tour and I couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend staying here if you're touring to Oxford!
1st Nov 2024
Thank you so much Juliet for such a lovely review. Thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and travel planning! Delighted you had a great week both at my home and for the show. Very happy you felt your stay was home away from home and thank you for your cleanliness and kindness, welcome back any time (see you in Turkey!) best wishes Emma x
Had such a lovely stay with Emma, who was a wonderful host. Although I did not see much of her due to our working schedules she was always making sure I was happy in her home and checked I had everything I needed. Beautiful and cosy home, super comfy bed and an amazing shower!! Only a short walk into the city centre, theatres are very close by which was incredibly convenient. Thank you so much Emma and hope to stay with you again soon! x
23rd Sep 2024
Thank you so much Jack for such a fabulous review - an absolute pleasure to meet you and as you say, pity we did not see much of each other due to our schedules.

Wishing you a great onward tour and absolutely - welcome back any time you are here in Oxford!
A lovely stay with Emma, ships passing but It was blooming lovely and comfortable and so close to the theatre!

Thank you so much Olivia, was a pleasure to meet you and have you to stay, x
My stay here was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere exuded comfort and cosiness and the place was very clean,it truly felt like a home away from home. Emma's attention to detail was impeccable, and the thoughtful post-it notes she left around the space added a unique and heartfelt touch to the experience. I felt very welcome and Emma’s friendliness my stay even more memorable. I can't recommend Emma's place enough! It’s only a 9 minute walk from the new theatre!
6th Jan 2024
Our post-it notes were a delight! Thank you for being such a wonderful guest and thank you for a lovely review. Wishing you every success, you are very welcome back!
Fantastic accommodation just a short walk from New Theatre. Emma was lovely, and due to our opposite schedules after check in our paths never actually crossed, so it felt like having an apartment to myself for the week. Very comfortable and welcoming, had everything I needed for an easy stay.
4th Dec 2023
Thank you so much Marios for your review. It was great to meet you - yes we were definitely like ships in the night! Welcome any time, best wishes Emma
