I had a wonderful stay with Ben and Lorenzo — kind, easy-going, welcoming and hilarious hosts who were never imposing and made me feel completely at home. The accommodation was extremely spacious, spotless, and in a great location with excellent transport links. I left with two friends for life and a place I’ll always call home in Manchester.
5 stars doesn't even come close to cutting it!

Ben and Lorenzo were so lovely! It was my first digs sharing with a host and they made me feel very comfortable. They were dogsitting the week I stayed and checked if that was okay beforehand which I really appreciated. Super understanding for the late nights. The room is bigger in person than what it looked like in the images. There was a heatwave when I stayed so I'd definitely take a fan if you're staying in the summer. 13-20 minute drive away from Albert Halls Bolton. Would deffo recommend!

It was an absolute pleasure to stay with Lorenzo and Ben. I felt very much at home and comfortable in their place. They made sure I had everything I needed. Bury is a beautiful town and has very easy and short transport links into Manchaster.

Such warm and welcoming hosts with a beautiful home. A short drive or optional bus journey to the Bolton Octagon. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending and booking again.
