Living with Host
A large Victorian town house, 3 available rooms, for single occupancy. Quiet location. Garden access, full use of kitchen, separate guest fridge. Bathroom for use by guests only
I have two large rooms, and one single in a large Victorian town House, a large double, a smaller double a single room. One over looking the whole of the city, the others are rear facing garden rooms.
Polished wooden floors and double windowed rooms give loads of light, however blackout blinds are fitted for the extra sleep required.
The accommodation is 2.1 miles from the Regent Theatre,10.30 mins by car, and 1.66 miles from the Vic in Newcastle under Lyme, 6 mins by car. Both easy walking distance or a £4.50 taxi ride away.
I rent to theatre and medical/ex army professionals, but normally if a show is in the area the rooms normally have more than one theatre person in the digs.
Its a family house and you can feel at home here, I have a separate guest lounge.

Lynn is such a lovely person! I've stayed before and extended my stay this time too.
Parking out front on a one way system, near lots of supermarkets and in general a fab place to sleep eat and repeat after work

Thanks Lynn, for a lovely quiet and comfortable stay. Although I was out a lot of the week for rehearsals, It was nice knowing I had a comfy and quiet bed to come home to after a long day! And only 4 pound taxi direct to the theatre whatever time!

Thank you for staying Ricky. Come anytime .
Room was spacious but carpet was very dirty. Shower wasn't working either. Didn't get to meet Lynn so communication was by email which didn't help, but not Lynn's fault. Quite a long walk to the Regent Theatre and very uphill coming back!

sorry about this, we work different ends of the day. Rug issue taken on board and cleaned, am sorry 1 of my showers was broken, it was broken by a prev guest. There was a shower upstairs and 2 baths, I had hoped that would be OK rather than cancel
Great place to stay! Very lovely room and Lynn is super helpful and friendly. Loved it here!

Thanks for this, internet now all resolved, as for the location, views over the city kinda give it away as to being an elevated position. I always take comments seriously and address
