The property is an easy 15 minute walk up in to Hanley town centre where the Regent Theatre is, the main railway and bus station are the same distance away.

My most famous lodger to date JULY 2017, Actress SHIRLEY ANNE FIELD. What a pleasure and an privilege it was to have her stay with me, but sadly she was unable to leave a review as she was not the originator of the booking :-( SADLY DIED 10th DECEMBER 2023. She will be sadly missed.

PLEASE READ TO THE VERY END
A very quite and relaxed atmosphere awaits you in a larger than average terraced house. The well maintained and modern interior is a 2 bed roomed property in a quiet residential street with free on street parking. However, it cannot be reserved or guaranteed, there is woodland to the rear of the property. Throughout the house is double glazing and central heating with thermostatic controlled radiators in every room, and for your safety, there is emergency lighting throughout the house, there are smoke, heat, and Co2 sensors installed, plus fire extinguishers and fire blanket. The bathroom has a large walk in rain shower, sorry NO bath. The property has a 24 hour recording CCTV system covering the front and the rear of the property including the living room.

The room for rent is a lockable double bedroom,13 feet square in size, with a very comfy double bed, ( so previous guests have informed me ), ideal for couples touring together, (double occupancy £180 per week ). For hygiene purposes the bed has a mattress protector and the pillows also have protectors. Towels and bedding are provided, for those who like a warm bed during the winter months, there is an electric blanket.

There is ample drawer and wardrobe space. a 32" flat screen Free View TV/Radio/CD Player. The room has blackout curtains and also a blackout roller blind, there is a small fold away table, Hairdryer and Shaver/Toothbrush socket, plus a floor standing Fan, also a secured fixed metal lockable box for your personal items, and you will have the only key to it, plus the use of FREE Wi-Fi, connection via BT. There are also USB charging points for both phone and tablets either side of the bed. Being a terraced house, the bathroom and toilet are downstairs at the rear of the property and comprises a large walk in rain shower, with a secondary attached jet shower, sink, and also flat screen TV/Radio. Don't worry should you have forgotten your bathroom toiletries, I have emergency complimentary packs, so please feel free to ask me for one.

You would be sharing the house with me Jeff. I am fully vaccinated against Covid, and Flu, a non smoker. I am a retired N.H.S Health Care Support Worker and I am a very easy going person and as quite as a church mouse. There are no pets and never have been any and sorry to say, pets are not allowed. Smoking is only allowed in the yard, where there is a table and two chairs.

During your stay, my home, is your home, and you have FULL use of the house, and if you prefer, you don’t have to sit in your room to watch TV or have your meals. The lounge has a 50" flat screen TV and programs are via Free Sat. The kitchen comprises a gas hob and electric oven, toaster, kettle, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, (no charge for detergent), plus a flat screen TV. and you are welcome to have as much tea and coffee as you wish during your stay.

Within a few minutes walk away from the property, you will find four supermarkets. Asda, Lidl, Aldi, and a corner shop type Morrisons all open until 10pm. Also nearby there is a Popeye's and a Foodz 999 fast food takeaways, Domino Pizza, a Pure gym (no pool), a MacDonalds and Just over a 12 minute walk away there is a Municipal Fitness Centre with Olympic sized pool.

CONDITION OF BOOKING
A weeks stay is from Monday to Saturday inclusive. Please Note, Payment for the balance owing must be paid in full on your arrival, or by Friday if agreed, either in cash or bank transfer, sorry no cheques, a receipt will be issued if requested. If you wish to arrive on Sunday there is no extra charge. However, the room would not be available until after 3 pm, and the room would have to be vacated on the following Sunday by 12 pm.

TAXI SERVICE DIGS DOOR, TO STAGE DOOR, AND RETURN
Should you wish, and for a one off payment of £50 per week, I will take you each day to the theatre and collect you again in the evening. Latest collection time would be at midnight, and is within a 1 mile radius of the theatre. However, should you prefer to arrange a lift as, and when you required one and if I am available, then I would ask for the going taxi rate of £7 in each direction, so the first offer is the best saving for you.

PLEASE NOTE: OUT OF COURTESY, I WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED BEFORE BRINGING ADDITIONAL FRIENDS BACK TO MY HOME. There is an additional cost of £35 per night if the visitor decides to stay over.

COST OF LIVING CRISIS. I would ask that due to the ongoing crisis, I would ask prospective guests to be as pro active, and be as helpful as possible to help keep the running costs down and workable as it is possible, such as turning lights off when not using the room, and help reduce the heating cost where it is possible by reducing the radiator control valve in the room, and reducing the time spent while in the shower, and not over filling the kettle for example.

Your help in this matter would be very gratefully appreciated, and to coin a phrase " Every Little Helps "

Looking forward to meeting you should you decide to book my property. STAY SAFE. Best wishes from Jeff.

I had a wonderful weeks stay with Jeff! He is such a lovely man and it is just like staying with a family friend.

The room is a great size and the bed is very comfortable! A short walk to the Regent Theatre makes for a nice stroll home in the evening.

Jeff really does go the extra mile, messagi... read more ng the week before my stay to ask what I liked for breakfast and then picking up from/dropping me back at the station, with the occasional lift into town too.

Great digs! Jeff was a most welcoming host and picked me up from the station when I arrived in Stoke. He had previously been in touch about breakfast requirements which was above and beyond for a host in my opinion.

Lovely double bed which was comfy, even with a remote control to operate all lamps in the room from the comfort of the bed! You don't have to get out to switch them off which is dreamy after a two show day! There are TVs in the bedroom and bathroom, as well as the lounge which you are free to use.

Upon departure, Jeff dropped me back to the station and helped with my case - a lovely gentleman. If I'm ever in Stoke again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent value and 5 star digs.

Communication was excellent - Jeff even got in touch to check what type of breakfast food I'd like to have provided.

The room is lovely and large, very comfortable and warm with plenty of storage, handy remote control lighting, too!

The house is small but immaculately kept, with thoughtful te... read more ch included throughout, such as automatic lighting on the staircase, LED temperature display shower head and flatscreen TVs in every room, including the bathroom.

Jeff was very friendly. Didn't take him up on the additional taxi service but he still gave me a few lifts into town when our schedules coincided. Otherwise an easy 15 min walk to the Regent theatre.

Recommended!

Jeff is the loveliest landlord doing anything he can to help.

Walk is pretty easy to the Regent and there is a Pure Gym very close.

Definitely recommend these digs

A 5* place.

Great value for money in a very organised and well kept house with all mod cons.

Hanley town centre is walkable so it's a great central location.

Jeff's really friendly and accommodating, so all your needs are catered for.

Also used his taxi service which was great.

I had a terrific week staying with Jeff.

The room is very comfortable & the massage chair is amazing!

Nothing was too much trouble & the house is immaculate.

It's a 15 minute walk from the theatre. This is uphill but it's great coming back at night after the pub!

I stayed here for a week October 2013 whilst performing at the Regent Theatre and Jeff provided me with a very pleasant place to stay for the week.

Location wise, the city centre (Hanley) is about 10 minutes away and an easy walk past some of the historic potteries; however the taxi service from ... read more Hanley was both cheap and speedy, so the options are up to you.

The room itself comes with a very comfy single bed, including spare sheets and towels should one need it. Also with the luxury of tv, dryer, storage space etc, even remote control lighting which was a lovely luxury.

What I found so lovely was Jeff's willing to provide the breakfast of my choice at the beginning of the week in order that each day I had all the cereal, milk and juice that I needed.

In general there is everything you need here for an agreeable price for comfort, space and enjoyment.

All in all, It was in fact the first time I had shared a house with a landlord by myself, but given Jeff's kindness and all round friendliness and eager willing to be a good friend in Stoke for the week; I couldn't recommend his hospitality and home more for your work needs in the city!
