Dave & Gerald are two of the loveliest gents I've ever met. They are so welcoming & kind! They offer their house more like a 5* hotel! Always looking after you but giving you the space you need.

Their home is beautiful, spotless, lovely rooms ~ cosy & comfy. They give you free WiFi access, towels,... read more even a dressing gown to use! Every morning, they lay out breakfast for you if you wish and won't let you do any washing up! They even always made me a fresh coffee to take with me!

The house is 20min stroll door to door to Kings Theatre or 5min drive. Ample free parking everywhere & all the amenities you need close by.

Dave & Gerald's are really paradise digs on a long tour ~ looking forward to my next stay!

Thanks Dave & Gerald x

Myself and two friends of mine stayed with Dave and Gerald and had a fantastic stay!

They made us feel welcome from the minute we confirmed our booking, often letting us know about events in the area around the time of our stay.

WARM, WELCOMING AND WONDERFUL!

Those are the words to describe my stay with Dave & Gerald... they are wonderful people, and fantastic hosts for their theatre digs.

The house is on a quiet road, an easy 15min walk to The Kings Theatre.

Dave and Gerald have thought of every detail to make for great theatre accommodation, including bottles of water in rooms on arrival, personalised dressing gowns, and keys for doors should you wish to lock them.

They have all the key ingredients for a great stay in theatre digs...and I can't recommend highly enough!

What can I say? Great digs.

When I arrived i was greeted by two happy smiling, and very friendly people.

It had been a longer than expected journey down to Southsea from Liverpool, due to very bad weather. The cuppa that was offered on entering the house was greatly received.
After which I wa... read more s shown to my room for the week. It was in the attic space, that had been converted into a large room with an en-suite bathroom. The whole house was immaculate and very comfy. I was made to feel at home from the moment I walked through the front door.

There is a nice kitchen and dining area, (the conservatory). I cooked a few times and had no problems finding utensils and things to use. I was even given my own mug for my sole use during my stay! D & G are lovely, friendly folk who like a good natter. So great craic was had on many occasions.

I have been on tour for many years and stayed in many digs, but this one is up there with the best. It was definitely a home-from-home.

If I'm ever back in Southsea, I'll hopefully stay here again.

Thank you D & G.
