Living with Host
Bright double room with desk and fast Wi-Fi in large Georgian house with garden, private parking, full (shared) use of kitchen and living areas and within easy walking distance of all theatres and train station.
Guest Parking
There is one private parking space available to guests directly in front of the house. There is additional pay and display parking on the main road but please note this is a residents’ parking zone, so to avoid a ticket please ensure you park in public spaces only.
The Area and Transport
My house is in a quiet Georgian Square, tucked away just a short walk from the city centre. Mir is large and airy and full of light and there is a lovely garden where you can sit and relax and listen to birdsong. It is 10 minutes’ walk from Newcastle Central Station and within easy walking distance of all of Newcastle’s theatres (though you’ll need to take a bus or taxi to the People’s Theatre in Heaton):
Walking times:
Tyne Theatre and Opera House 5 mins
Alphabetti Theatre 5 mins
Theatre Royal 15 mins
Northern Stage 20 mins
Live Theatre 24 mins
There is a fairly steep hill to get to my house and my house has lots of stairs, so please consider this if your mobility is limited. Unfortunately, being an old house my house does not have step-free access.

Had such a wonderful stay in Harriet's home! Lovely host and very communicative to make sure I had everything I needed. Beautiful home, bed was so comfy I had such a good night sleep! Very simple walk to theatre which was convenient, would definitely stay again when I find myself back in Newcastle. Thank you Harriet! =)

What a lovely review, thank you Jack. You’re welcome back any time.
Absolutely amazing time staying in Harriet's home during my time in Newcastle! It's a beautiful place to stay and a great walling distance from the theatre and other amenities you might need - I couldn't recommend Harriet as a host more! The room was big and spacious, and and the bed was so comfortable - it was great coming back to such a comfortable space after long days at work! Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Tasha. Come back any time, we’d love to have you.
One of the company dancers stayed with Harriet and had a fantastic time. Harriet was a very welcoming host, the dancer had a comfortable stay and they really enjoyed the location!

Thanks so much, Yousef, for your lovely review. You would be so welcome back any time.
Had such a great time staying at Harriets. Lovely bright and airy room in a quiet, charming part of town. Wonderful cooking facilities, only 15-20 minutes walk from the theatre. Would definitely love to stay again if I'm back Newcastle way!

Lovely comfortable room with plenty of space and excellent Wi-Fi. Harriet is a very friendly and welcoming host and the house has easy access to the station, the theatre and the city in general. I had a great stay and will definitely be in touch if I find myself working in Newcastle in future.

I had a really lovely stay at Harriet’s beautiful home in Newcastle. The house is beautiful and the room was very comfy and peaceful. Harriet could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. My only regret is that my stay was so fleeting! Looking forward to staying again!
