Mrs. Lancaster was very nice and welcoming. The house is located close to the Bridgewater hall so that it was a lovely walk to it.

Another great stay with Jan. Comfortable room with bathroom just down corridor. 20 minute walk to Palace theatre and a good bus service too. A pleasure to stay here.
6th Mar 2026
Always a pleasure to welcome you back.
Jan is the perfect host, ably assisted by Milo. A lovely 25 minute walk to the Opera House. And a huge bonus having a sole-use bathroom. I’d definitely book again in the future
5th Jan 2026
Too kind
Jan is a very kind and thoughtful host. A real home from home. Highly recommended.
3rd Nov 2025
Thanks. Please come back when next in manchester
Always a pleasure to stay at Jan's. Jan is so kind, warm and welcoming. Lovely quiet room, and only 15mins walk to Home. My go to in Manchester. Thanks again Jan and look forward to seeing you next time!
15th Oct 2025
Any time Bill.my door always open for u
I had an absolutely lovely stay with Jan and Milo in Manchester. You have everything you need and Jan goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. I would definitely recommend staying with Jan and will definitely message her if I’m back around Manchester in the future!
7th Oct 2025
Thanks Lara, it was a joy to have you and James stay here. Donated the frozen peas to Lucy next door and her 2 children.
Jan is lovely and could not be more helpful or welcoming and makes you immediately feel at home. Her dog is a softy once you get to know him. The 53 bus to the Lowry is swift but temperamental and the 250 leaves a ten minute walk ,though I didn’t feel especially comfortable doing this in the evening. Don’t hesitate if you have a car and love dogs and I would stay again if I she would have me
19th Aug 2025
Always welcome back.
I had such a lovely stay with Jan, she was so considerate and helpful. Milo (her dog) was a lovely bonus too. Reccomend her to anyone working in Manchester!
10th Aug 2025
Thanks Eva. Enjoyed getting to know u
Jan is a wonderful host. Full communication and very easy going. Can come in and leave whenever you please, any time. Lovely walk into town or a super quick bus. Her Dog Milo is so sweet. You have your own bathroom and use of everything in the house. Safe parking for my car in a lovely area. Thanks Jan see you soon x
24th Jun 2025

30th Mar 2025
Enjoyed meeting u. A real "Ringo " best wishes
A lovely stay with Jan, a lovely clean place with great links to the Lowry (15 minute bus ride) and into Central Manchester (10 minute bus ride).
Also a bonus you get to greet Milo her dog everyday! Would definitely recommend Jan and would definitely stay here again!
23rd Mar 2025
Jan (and Milo) were great hosts. The room is cosy with it's own bathroom and the walk into town is super easy. Thanks for having me!
10th Mar 2025
Delighted to have had u stay. Boots will be posted when I get an address.. welcome back any time
Not enough stars for Jan and milo. The most comfiest bed, great bathroom. Great tv. Jan was so lovely. Milo, I would’ve dognapped him if I could. I felt so very comfy with Jan. About a 25min nice walk to the Palace. Wish I’d found Jan years ago. Thank you both!!
17th Feb 2025
Thanks, come back soon
I would stay with Jan & Milo anytime.. what a fantastic lady! Fabulous room, lovely powerful shower, friendly and just wonderful. Thanks Jan & Milo x
12th Feb 2025
Glad you choose us. We so enjoyed your stay with us. U soon I hope
Had a brilliant stay with Jan and her lovely dog Milo, would highly recommend!
27th Jan 2025
Lovely stay once again, always wonderful to see Jan and milo
21st Jan 2025
Jan and Milo are amazing hosts! Can’t recommend highly enough. Jan is so thoughtful and kind, I had a wonderful stay! Easy walk to the theatre and so lovely to be greeted by gorgeous Milo when you get home!
6th Jan 2025
Sarah was also a joy to have around. We are both missing her.
Had a wonderful stay with Jan, the room is comfortable and Jan is absolutely lovely.
2nd Dec 2024
And you are welcome back anytime. Hope to see u in the show
Jan's place was super convenient and quiet. I was made to feel very welcome and wanted for nothing during my stay. It is 20 minutes walk from The Palace Theatre. You do need to be comfortable with dogs though, Milo is a big softy but he is exactly as described by Jan in the listing.
26th Nov 2024
Jan and Milo were great! Loved my stay here and hope to be back on future tours! 100% recommend.
10th Nov 2024
Thanks Josh. Good guest and lovely yo have around. Welcome back anytime
Jan is so helpful, friendly and a lovely host.
Very comfy bed and nice clean room and great to have your own bathroom. 20 min walk into town and also regular buses. Really happy time there. Thanks Jan.
21st Oct 2024
Thanks. U were a great guest adored by Milo. Very quiet and almost never at home. U are welcome back anytime
Jan is a delightful lady and I had a very relaxed, comfortable and enjoyable stay. Bonus points for being an easy walking distance into central Manchester and having off road parking for my car. Would happily stay there again!
29th Sep 2024
Jan's room is great, the location with regards to the Lowry is close enough to commute, but far enough away that you feel like you actually leave the venue at the end of the day. Didn't get the chance to meet Milo as he and Jan were away whilst I stayed, but I endeavour to meet them both properly when I am back in Mancs!
16th Sep 2024
Thanks Stan, my mystery man !!
Had a lovely stay with Jan who was incredibly welcoming! Thanks again!
7th Sep 2024
Delighted you choose to stag with us.
Jan is terrific! Super relaxed and easy to live with. Easy walk to theatre or 5 minutes to bus.
12th Aug 2024
Very comfortable stay here. Jan is lovely, although we rarely saw each other. Lilo, her dog, is lovely but will bark when you come in. Easy 10 - 15 minute walk to theatre, own bathroom and a bonus parking space. Would recommend.
29th Jul 2024
Jan is such a wonderful and welcoming Digs host, she made me feel so at home!! The house is in a quiet area, a bit of a walk away from the theatre but with easy parking and a really comfortable bed. Milo the Labrador was so adorable as well!!
21st May 2024
There are so many wonderful things to say about my week staying with Janis, but I'll start by saying this, she's bloody wonderful and I'm disappointed I didn't get to stay longer! These digs provide, everything you need and more—a short walk into central Manchester, and an equally short walk to an Asda Superstore. Janis is extremely generous, and is such a good laugh, don't hesitate to book immediately. Thank Jan xx
14th May 2024
Really great and welcoming house! Jan is lovely and a great location for HOME. Would stay again when in Manchester.
9th May 2024
Emily would always be welcome. Milo and I really liked her
Jan was a lovely host and Milo was very friendly. It’s a really nice room with a good amount of space and great bathroom.
3rd May 2024
Glad to hear that zoe found everything to her liking. She was a lovely guest
A very comfortable stay. Good size room with plenty of storage and a very comfy bed. Jan and Milo are lovely hosts, although Milo did realise I was a soft touch for treats when I came in at night!! Its about a 20-25min walk to the Opera House, but very straightforward so a good location. Thnak you Jan and Milo.
2nd Apr 2024
Jan was a very kind and accommodating. Be ready with the biscuits for Milo - you'll know when you get there what I mean.
27th Mar 2024
Great communication. A pleasure to stay! Thank you!
13th Mar 2024
Booked for a colleague. He was happy so I'm happy. Thank you, Jan!
28th Feb 2024
I had a great stay with Jan. Great chats, and super-convenient for Opera House… 25mins ish walk. Thanks so much again!
25th Feb 2024
I was made to feel at home from the second I arrived. 6 min walk to ZArts.
29th Jan 2024
Thanks clearly the glass of wine did the trick !!
Staying with Jan was a delight. It was a warm and cosy room with plenty of storage space. Having parking was handy too, but I was actually able to walk into the theatre each day, which was a nice walk and I always felt safe enough.
I felt I had my own privacy, but also had some good chats with Jan too.
Thank you for making me feel so welcome.
16th Jan 2024

Had a lovely stay with Jan and Milo.
Very friendly and a comfortable and great location. Thank you for welcoming me into your home.

Absolutely wonderful stay with Jan! The room was cosy, warm, bright and clean, a perfect home away from home. Jan is a super welcoming host and Milo the dog became a delightful new friend! Thanks so much.
24th Nov 2019
Jan was a delight and fantastic host. We didn't cross paths too much because if my work times but she looked after me very well and has a lovely home.
Would absolutely recommend her.

Great place to stay if in Manchester
26th Sep 2019
....and a great man to have stay. Delighted to have met u, do come again
Jan was absolutely lovely, so welcoming and easygoing. Such a great location with Oxford Road being a 20 minute walk away. The room was really cute and all my sleeps were very long, much needed during a busy show week!
Thanks so much!
28th Apr 2019
Lovely house and lady, the only problem I had was lack of sleep. Every morning I was awoken with either the dog barking, unannounced builders, carpet fitters, piano playing and/ or a cleaner plus The dog barks continuously when arriving back at night
8th Apr 2019
Carpet man arrived at 11am; Cleaner arrived at 2pm and there was NO BUILDERS. I played the piano (never before. She She LEFT WITHOUT PAYING FOR THE WEEK. Only paid once she was asked to do so. This is the first person who has ever done this.
I had a lovely stay here with Jan and Milo her dog. Milo was very cute and was no trouble at all whilst i was staying here. The room was lovely and clean and so was the rest of the house. Easy to get to the theatre too.
30th Mar 2019
Lovely house and area, easy 30 mins walk. Jan is very sweet and her dog is beautiful though loud and still to be trained: for the three weeks I was there he barked every single time I got home and if Jan wasn't there he got a bit aggressive.
6th Mar 2019
Had a lovely week with Jan and Milo, the room is super comfortable and Jan is such a welcoming host who makes you feel right at home. Couldn’t recommend staying here more.
26th Feb 2019
Jan and her dog Milo were a joy! The place was cozy and clean and only a 2 minute walk from a bus stop that takes you straight into Manchester (15-20 mins) or media City (10 mins). Jan was extremely friendly, funny, and homely. I highly recommend!
3rd Dec 2018
Top lady, top dog, top digs! Walk to work. Highly recommended!
22nd Oct 2018
Jan is great, it's a 15 minute walk to Home, and there's off-street parking.
10th Sep 2018
Lovely home with wonderful host, very warm and welcoming and there’s nothing better than coming back to gorgeous little Milo every day! Thank-you so much!
23rd Jul 2018
Jan was a wonderful host! I felt completely welcome and at home. The room was lovely and a great distance from the city centre, also enjoyed the company of Milo the dog and Bianca the Cat. I would highly recommend a visit.
16th Jun 2018
Marvellous digs. Jan was a wonderful host. Room was clean, spacious and quiet. Location good too. Milo was adorable. Thanks Jan!

24th Jul 2017
Jan was a great host and would definitely stay again for working in the centre of Manchester.
14th Feb 2017
I had a great time staying here, it was right around the corner from where I need to be, which was great during Tech week. Jan was lovely and it was a pleasure to spend time with the dog and cat.
17th Nov 2016
Absolutely loved my stay there.
It's easy walk to the theatre, the cat is just too cute and Jan is very helpful and welcoming host.
I will definitely call again when in Manchester.

Jan was a fantastic host, and her lovely little cat was so friendly as well! The room was very comfortable, and Jan was very helpful with info on the area as it was my first time in Manchester! I will be booking again!
15th May 2016
Jan makes everything you need, easy and welcoming. Location is great. Your room, with it super comfy bed and pillows (and TV) is very hard to get out if. Jan is very easy to get along with you have the choice of either alone time or company.
12th May 2016
Really lovely stay, would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
28th Mar 2016
Thanks Callum, I too enoyed having your stay and particularly your kind attention to my lovely cat. Would love to have you stay again. Best wishes
Jan was an extremely friendly and likeable woman. The house was clean and I was made to feel very comfortable. Bianca (the cat) and I became great friends and I was sad to leave her, just as she was sad to leave my lap! I'd definitely go back, great.
27th Mar 2016
Dear Matthew, Would love to have you come back again - as would Bianca. Best wishes
Jan was a fantastic host and I would have happily stayed longer (unfortunately she had another booking). Really lovely house and a very comfy room with everything I needed. I was at Z arts so the location was fantastic.
18th Mar 2016
Great digs, lovely host, very helpful and very welcoming. Was here for 7 weeks and had a lovely time. Peanut the puppy was great too.
11th Mar 2016
Great stay, very well located and very hospitable host, Jan!
Cute cat and dog too.
Thanks :)
10th Oct 2015
I have just stayed in Jan's home for seven weeks.
Jan made me feel welcome and at home the whole time I was there.
Manchester is a cool City and if you are working there or sight seeing I recommend Jan's as a comfortable place to stay.
2nd Sep 2015
Lovely stay in a really conveniently placed location.
Jan is very lovely and helpful - she provides a lot of information about the area and the transport. Very welcoming and warming and it was a delight and a pleasure to be able to share her beautiful house.
A house isn't a home without animals and Jan's gorgeous pets really make the house even more homely.
11th May 2015
Lovely, conveniently located digs hosted by a warm and generous landlady, Jan, and her energetic and playful puppy, Peanut.
Highly recommended.
