The Area and Transport
Didsbury is a leafy suburb of Manchester, offering everything you need for a relaxed and comfortable stay. Guests love the calm, village feel here – a welcome contrast to the energy of the city.
Didsbury Village – just a five-minute walk from the annexe – is home to an array of independent shops, bakeries, cafés, bars and restaurants.
Right on your doorstep you’ll find The Didsbury Pub, Ye Olde Cock Inn and The Wild Alderman ale house. Fletcher Moss Gardens and The Old Parsonage, with beautiful riverside walks that stretch for miles.
For something a little more hip and vibrant, head to Burton Road in West Didsbury to explore its trendy cafés, independent boutiques and lively bars.
You have excellent transport links to Manchester and Salford’s theatres, with direct bus, Metrolink and train services all nearby. Journey times into the city typically take around 20–30 minutes, and there’s a convenient night bus service back to Didsbury.

It's a stunning top floor flat, Dean was an exceptional host (even offering to carry my bags up the stairs!). It's also really easy to get to the theatres with the bus stop just outside of the flat. Dean also re-arranged for me to come a day early which I was very grateful for! I will definitely be back!!

Dean is a lovely host! Helpful, accommodating and great with communication. These digs are beautiful and only a short drive into the centre. Would definitely recommend!☺️

This was a wonderful stay. I enjoyed the open space and luxurious atmosphere, and I appreciated that it was a bit away from Canal Street, as it felt quiet and home-like. Dean was friendly and very accommodating. Transportation was easy with a convenient bus ride to the theatre. I’m thankful to have found this place and will definitely be booking again.

Thanks Sarah, you were the perfect guest and would be welcome back anytime :)
Dean was very welcoming and helpful and communication was excellent. The space was very roomy and comfortable. It was a very easy journey into the city but there were plenty of local amenities within a short walk

Thanks Aaron!
This studio is superb. The photos are 100% accurate. I had a really comfortable 2 weeks there and Dean was a pleasure to deal with. Excellent tram and bus services to get you in and out of Manchester. I hope to stay again.

What a fantastic studio flat in Manchester. Dean is a wonderful host and lets you just get on with it but is only a text away. The kitchenette is a bonus. I bought an air fryer which was great. Bus to the Palace theatre right outside. Train a 10 min walk and the tram a 15 min walk. All modes take about 30 mins to the centre. Lovely walks right behind the flat and the town is a 5 minute walk away. Gated parking for your car. This is just the best place to stay. Highly recommended.

Thanks for a great review Ian. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and you are welcome back anytime. One of the best! Good luck with the rest of the tour.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay. it's a magical find. Lovey room, private balcony and surrounded by beautiful scenary. Easy to travel to the Lowry in the tram as you walk through the lovely Didbury Village with lots of shops and restaurants for all your needs.
Dean is a lovely host, helpful and accommodating. It's a place I defiantly will be keeping on my list to visit again.
Its gives you a real chance to decompress from the stress of the day.
Thanks Dean

Thank you so much for the lovely review Chia, it was a pleasure to host you and you are welcome back anytime. Dean
Fantastic. Cannot recommend enough. Luxury accommodation in stunning appartment block - which gorgeous gardens and private balcony.
Peaceful and calm. Private parking. I drove to the theatre and used JUSTPARK for cheaper parking options. I like the freedom my car gives me but plenty of public transport option. Dean is amazing. Will leave you be but will reply to texts asap if needed. Highly recommend PLUS fab shower and lovely bath for those chilly nights! Thanks Dean.

Thank you Jenny, a lovely review. It was a pleasure hosting you in the Annexe and you would be welcome back anytime!
Dean’s place is just beautiful, the open plan room was so nice to spend the week in. Looked forward to getting home every single night haha. Everything is just like the photos, so clean, safe place to park. Perfect stay!
Thanks so much Dean!

You're very welcome Tomas and thanks for the lovely review, you are welcome back anytime :)
I had an amazing 2 week stay at Dean’s accommodation and what an apartment it is. Has everything you need, (including a microwave oven, if you enjoy your own cooking). Didsbury is a lovely area and to get into the city centre only a 20 minute tram journey. Would definitely stay here again! Dean was so accommodating too, helping me with my suitcase on arrival and providing a detailed message with advise on my stay. Lovely guy too. Thanks for having me!

Lovely stay here! Would come back especially if I'm driving. The space was very clean and I felt extremely safe in the gated community. Dean was also a very pleasant and accommodating host.

I stayed at Dean's place for over a month - was lovely and clean, and Dean even helped me out if spiders moved in!
Very frequent buses to and from the Palace theatre, near to a lovely pub and a park.
The only sink is in the bathroom, so could be difficult to wash larger dishes etc, but this didn't really affect my stay at all!
Very nice, would stay here again! :)
