Digs in the Dene (Newcastle upon Tyne)

About these Digs

Living with Host

What does this mean?

Graham and I are rattling round in a spacious, sunny 6 bed house in Jesmond Dene.
At least two bright double rooms with a shared bathroom (best shower ever!)
All the shopping you need 2mns on Acorn Road from Waitrose to Tesco and Sourdough to Greggs. Dentists and Doctors are a stonesthrow. We are just over Armstrong Bridge so very handy for a stroll through the dene to Heaton past our iconic coffee shop Heaton Perk and 109 General Store for your less plastic refill options on your way to our favourite Ouseburn pubs The Free Trade Inn & The Cumberland Arms.
Happy to ignore you if you hate being 'hosted' or invite you right into our routine if you are feeling homesick. Comfy, warm, welcoming. If none of our 'kids' are in town, there are more rooms available-please ask. You can smoke outside (there's a big greenhouse for the winter chuffers) We have two cats - both quite old-will update if the situation changes! Frustrated gardeners welcome to help weed!

Guest Parking

We are lucky to be able to offer rare off street, private and secured parking . The rest Jesmond is largely permit parking only.

The Area and Transport

Uniquely situated within the Jesmond Dene Conservation area this is the quietest and most relaxing environment in which to unwind and or rehearse. A nearly continuous 30min parkland walk to Theatre Royal, Tyne Theatre , Alphabetti. Same for the Quayside Glasshouse / Live Theatre via Ouseburn pubs and restaurants . Metros and buses are a 5min walk through Jesmond.
