This was the perfect digs set up, only sorry I wasn’t there for longer. John was very helpful and friendly, would definitely stay again.
10th Feb 2020
Wonderful digs and perfect hosts. The only reason I gave 4 stars for location was that it was more than a ten minute walk but I'm being picky. I had a lovely stay here. Would definitely choose this again
1st Feb 2020
We looked into moving the house closer to the theatre but there were too many practical problems!! Xxxx
I had a wonderful stay with John and Joy, they made me feel right at home from the moment I walked through the door. Their attic conversion has so much homey space and your own bathroom. I will absolutely be staying here again. xx
13th Jan 2020

EXCELLENT digs - the best on this tour. John and Joy are lovely, lovely people and if you do not stay with them in Northampton you are missing a trick! 😀
28th Sep 2017
5 stars all round. Lovely people with a fantastic understanding of theatre life. So accommodating helped in every way that they could.
Would definitely stay again! Xxx
2nd Jul 2017
Ideal digs. Spacious, warm, comfortable, quiet. Exactly what I was looking for. Included a well-stocked fridge and array of breakfast food which I'd not expected. Excellent wi-fi.
21st Feb 2017
Thanks Robert! Come again soon and we'll get the wine out too!!
John & Joy were the most brilliant hosts. It's like they've stepped into the mind of a touring actor and given everything one could possibly need! Generous breakfast provisions, clean and comfy room and bed. Nothing's too much trouble. Perfect digs!
31st Jan 2017
You're a darling! :-). We'll be offended if you go anywhere else next time! Xxxx
Absolutely the best digs i've ever stayed in, with the best and kindest hosts.
30th May 2016
Blushing with pride! Xxx
Fantastic digs. John & Joy are fantastic hosts providing everything and more that you could want or need. Quiet, spotless, short stroll to the theatre. Added bonus of the smell of fresh bread being regularly baked (and it's delicious!)
10th Apr 2016
Thanks a bunch Phil. Definitely going to get you on that piano next time!!!
If ever I come back back to Northampton, this would be the only place I would want to stay. John and Joy made my stay so enjoyable.They were welcoming and friendly and if there was anything I needed, they helped me out straight away.
Thank you!
7th Feb 2016
Thanks for the kind words Ste. We'll look forward to having you back at any time! John xx
I stayed here in September and I can honestly say that they were the most comfortable digs I have stayed in.
They are just perfect, with a lovely ensuite shower room and a living space next to the bedroom with facilities to keep and make food. Having that extra bit of private space really was appreciated, a lovely place to return to after a late finish.
Wonderful hosts who couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful.
I can safely say that I will most definitely be returning should I tour to the area again.
Thank you so much!
All the best, Caroline
12th Nov 2015
I had a great stay here! John and Joy are so welcoming and have put a lot of effort in to making this a brilliant place to stay.
The bedroom is lovely with a really comfortable bed and great en suite. The breakfast provided was such a treat.
The location is good, right next to a big park and five minutes from the pool which is well worth a visit.
I'd recommend these digs to anybody.
28th Mar 2015
Thank you for a lovely and very peaceful stay. Was lovely to have the two rooms to relax in.
Both John and Joy are very friendly and welcoming with porridge and honey on stand by.
Will be sure to stay with you again when next in Northampton.
Thank you.
15th Mar 2015
Spent two weeks here during the tour tour of Oklahoma and had a lovely time.
A fantastic, private space with great facilities a short walking distance from the theatre.
John and Joy were very friendly, provided me with breakfast and generally made sure I had everything I needed.
What with free parking outside and plenty of space inside I would highly recommend these digs to anyone touring to Northampton.
7th Mar 2015
Very good digs.
Really clean and friendly host.
Will definitely stay here again in the future.
2nd Feb 2015
I've just finished my stay at these digs for my Panto season and by far, THE BEST digs I've ever had!
Absolutely lovely family and wonderful private room with your own bathroom, fridge, and microwave. It's the best of both worlds, you get a bit of a family in a home away from home, but also have your own private space!
I couldn't recommend them more! This family goes above and beyond to make you as comfortable as possible away from home, and I spent the entire spring/summer last year touring and have seen some awful digs - so I know special digs when I see them!
Again, by far the nicest family and nicest digs I've experienced "on the road".
Great big park behind their house and about a 10 min. walk to the high street.
Book now, it will make your experience in Northampton a great one!
30th Dec 2014
Beautiful bedroom, en-suite and adjoining room.
Great for wanting your own space.
Family are completely lovely and very welcoming. They seem to go above and beyond to make you feel at home.
A short walk to the theatre.
Excellent digs - highly recommend.
12th Oct 2014
Well-finished, lovely (and very quiet!) digs.
Lovely hosts.
Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
3rd Sep 2014
