Living with Host
We have received excellent results and have been doing Theatre Digs for nine years now.
I myself am a touring musician and understand the need for quality Digs and a reasonable price.
If you enjoy a retreat from the city itself, there are plenty of suburban areas nearby to get a nice coffee or a bite to eat in the up-and-coming Bourneville, Stirchley or nearby suburbs.
Guest Parking
£Free on street parking is available. Space is freely available during the day but at night time you may need to park a street or two away.
The Area and Transport
Transport into the city is really easy, with the relatively short bus ride from the Pershore Road which is a five minute walk from the property. Alternatively, you can get an Uber in the region of £6-8
If you enjoy walking or cycling, it’s about an hours walk to the alex/hippodrome and takes you through one of the largest parks in Birmingham, Cannon Hill Park.

Had a great stay at Andy's house, super accomodating and the room is a great size. I brought my bike with me and stored it in the back garden, was around a 25 minute cycle to the Rep. Beautiful surrounding parks, great location for supermarkets and also local cafes.. King heath being half an hour walk and stirchley being a 10 min walk.
Would absolutely stay here again, really felt like a home away from home!

Thank-you Robyn
I’m really pleased you had such a nice stay!
Second stay here, Andy is great and communication is excellent. He works in the industry so understands the demands of touring. He was away on tour so his friend was looking after the house. She is a musician and very friendly and welcoming. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here, brilliant host and lovely house.

Andrew and Tom are such welcoming hosts. They understand the theatre trade and late night ins and outs and respect space. House is finished to a high standard, bus routes 45 and 47 direct links to bullring easy walking from there to Alex and hipp. Bed extremely comfortable, fantastic shower and cooking area. There is a spiral staircase to be aware of with big touring cases! I have no doubt I’ll be staying with Andrew again when I return to Brum. Rudi the dog will also steal your hearts!
