We are a professional couple, in a 4 bedroom house approximately a mile away from the Shakespeare North Playhouse.
We offer a generous modern, dual aspect, bright double bedroom, with sole use of an adjacent bathroom. The bedroom contains a comfortable double bed with USB charger, side table, wardrobe, armchair and TV with freeview. Guests are welcome to use the kitchen, dining room and enjoy the lovely seating areas in the garden during warm weather. It is a 3 minute drive, or a less than 15 minute walk to Shakespeare North and Prescot train station is just a 5 minute walk away with connections to Liverpool Lime Street adjacent to the Liverpool Empire every 20 minutes or into St Helens for the Theatre Royal.
** Please note that as we work full time and host simply to support the success of Shakespeare North, we limit hosting to a maximum of 7 day stays and are unable to accommodate long term stays. Thank you for your understanding.
Guest Parking
Both our cars are parked on our driveway, meaning that there is on road parking available immediately outside the house.
The Area and Transport
Our home is located either a 12 minute walk/a couple of minutes drive from Shakespeare North Theatre. We are a 10 minute drive to St Helens Theatre Royal or a 5 minute walk to a direct bus route. Train (22 minutes) connections to Liverpool for Liverpool Empire/Playhouse/Royal Court etc are available from Prescot train station which is a 6-7 minute walk away.
We provide the room to help support the ongoing success of the theatre - as it is fairly new, there are relatively few accommodations for visiting creatives to use. However, as working professionals with family commitments, we are unable to offer accommodation for longer stays. FOR THIS REASON BOOKINGS ARE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 7 DAYS OR FEWER.
