Fiona is an excellent host. She is very accommodating to the strangeness of a performers lifestyle. The room is clean and comfortable and close to major transport links, restaurants and supermarkets. I would definitely stay again.

Fiona was a lovely host, very kind and attentive, the property was clean and well kept. Overall a great stay and would happily stay here again.
My one issue was how hot the room going during the heat wave due to it being a sun facing room, I'd advise bringing a fan when staying at this property in the summer months.

Sorry about the heat. I will invest in a fan for guests, if I can find a quiet one, although I am not a great fan of them myself. (No pun intended).
This was my second stay with Fiona and I had a wonderful time. Clean, cosy and comfortable, and a 12 minute, well-lit walk to the theatre. I would highly recommend Fiona's digs. Thank you for another lovely stay!

Thanks Lauren. Hope to see you again sometime. Best of luck with your career.
A very friendly and comfortable stay with Fiona in a very convenient walkable location for the theatre. She's clearly used to having temporary house guests in this spare room and was very welcoming and accommodating.

I had a wonderful stay with Fiona for the week I was in Hornchurch. The room is cosy, warm, clean, and gets lots of natural light in the morning, which is lovely! Fiona is a brilliant host, and I would happily stay here again if I found myself working in Hornchurch. Thanks again Fiona! Xx

The room in Fiona's flat is warm, cosy and clean. It is a 10-12 minute walk to the theatre, and very close to the town centre. Fiona is a lovely host, and I had a great stay during pano season. Thank you!

Thanks Cheryl. Best wishes for your future.
I had a lovely stay with Fiona in her flat whilst I was rehearsing at QTH- the location is perfect walking distance with Sainsbury's and other shops en route to the theatre, and also great to get to Upminster tube station to get into London if needed. Fiona was a great host who respects your privacy and space, and understands the crazy hours we work! Would definitely stay again:)

Thanks El. Hope all going well with the tour.
Great digs, ideal when working at Queens Theatre, Hornchurch. Thanks Fiona!

Fiona is a friendly and considerate host who respects your space & privacy. Her spotless well heated flat is in a great location and the view from your bedroom is over the trees to St Andrew's Church. It's just a 10 minute walk to the theatre. A good size single room with decent floor space (I do yoga!), good storage, a desk with chair and also a compfy armchair. Good wifi too. Also excellent kitchen & bathroom facilities with a good shower in the latter. Highly recommended.

A lovely place to stay with a warm and welcoming host. So well placed for QTH

Fiona was a lovely host, even picking me up when I got stuck! Her place is ideal if you're working at Queens as it's a 10 minute walk. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks Sofia. You were a wonderful guest, and welcome back anytime.
I booked on behalf of one of our company members, who had a wonderful stay at Fiona's. Fiona was great at communication in advance and went out of her way to ensure a comfortable stay. Will definitely look to book again!

Thank you. It was a pleasure having Lucy to stay. Hope to meet her again.
