Guest Parking
There is free on-street parking right outside the front door and to the rear is access to a private outdoor area where you can sit in the afternoon sunshine and/or enjoy a smoke/vape (not in the house please).
The Area and Transport
A quiet location just 20 minutes from central Liverpool and just a one minute walk to local shops (including an Aldi), takeaways, medical centre, bus stop for the city and a beautiful park. The nearest railway/metro station (Birkenhead Park) is just a 10 minute (800m) walk.
The house is situated across the River Mersey from Liverpool so the city centre is only walkable via the ferry. However, access is superb either by car (10 minutes - via the Mersey Tunnel), by bus (407 or 437 - only 17 minutes and you also get to go through the famous Mersey Tunnel) or by local train (9 minutes). Fares are very cheap and weekly/monthly tickets are also available. The last buses/trains back from the city are between 2345 and midnight and taxis are easy to find. The Empire, Everyman and Playhouse Theatres are, for example, less than 25 minutes door to door.
The Floral Pavilion in New Brighton is just 14 minutes drive or 35 minutes by public transport (bus or local train).

The map shows a general area to help you plan. We'll share the precise location after your booking is confirmed.
There's absolutely nothing to fault with this property. This was my second time staying on this tour. It's a simple drive to New Brighton and the buses to Liverpool are regular and quick. The immediate area has everything you could need, including the beautiful Birkenhead park.
I'll be staying nowhere else whenever I'm in the Liverpool area!
26th Apr 2026
Thanks so much again Shaun. Looking forward to you staying again soon. Jonathan.
Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Jonathan and his partner Samantha met me at the house and were super welcoming and friendly. They were very conscientious about privacy and our comfort and we had everything we could have needed. Would absolutely stay here again, can’t recommend it enough! Thank you so much Jonathan!
16th Mar 2026
Aw shucks Alex ... thank you .... you are very welcome. See you again soon I hope. Jonathan.
Jonathan is a fantastic host - excellent communication, friendly, accommodating and clearly really enjoys hosting theatre workers. The house is really well kept - neat, clean, fully furnished and the kitchen has most things you could need for a short stay. It feels like a home rather than a business! Aldi two minute walk away and the lovely Birkenhead park just beyond that. Busses into Liverpool are regular and quick, or metro a ten minute walk then ten mins into Liverpool Lime St.
11th Mar 2026
Thanks David ... and for taking the time for your review. A real pleasure hosting you and I hope to see you again soon. Take care ... Jonathan.
Lovely to be back again! A cosy, clean property- easy to get into Liverpool as it’s well connected with buses that run every 10 mins.
2nd Mar 2026
Thanks Cordelia for another lovely review. The pleasure, as before, is all mine. Until the next time, I hope ? Jonathan.
Had a great stay at Jonathan’s self contained home. Communication was great from the get go with a detailed check in video. The place was spotless, with all amenities & the home was super cosy. Great transport links into the city. Had a great stay and would 100% stay again when back in Liverpool. Thanks Jonathan for providing such great digs!
13th Feb 2026
You're so welcome Abbie. Thanks so much for your review and I hope you can stay again in the near future. Take care. J
Lovely house with everything you need, the bed was one of the comfiest I’ve slept in. Jonathan and I never met in person, however, he went to every effort to make me feel welcome and told me everything I needed to know before I arrived.
The house is located on a quiet street within two minutes walk of Aldi and with easy transport links to Liverpool.
19th Jan 2026
Thanks Fiona. I really appreciate your lovely review and hope you can visit again. Thanks for looking after my house so beautifully.
I had a wonderful stay here whilst at the Empire over Christmas and New Year. Couldn’t have asked for better digs and Jonathan couldn’t have been more helpful!
8th Jan 2026
You're very welcome Corrie and thanks for looking after my house so beautifully. I really appreciate your review and hope you choose to visit again. Jonathan.
An excellent experience staying at Jonathan's place. Everything has been thought of and there was nothing I needed that hadn't been supplied.
Clean, well-decorated and it felt like home from the minute I stepped through the door. Communication from Jonathan was perfect. I'd happily book again.
10th Nov 2025
Thanks so much Shaun. Your feedback is so important to me and its great to hear your comments. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and I look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes .... Jonathan
Lovely stay at jonathans place.
It was so nice to get my own space after a busy day.
Very straight forward to get in to liverpool.
Highlight of the house was the shower ! Amazing.
Highly reccomened staying.
Very stari
28th Oct 2025
Thanks so much Carla ... please come again soon. Jonathan. :)
Had a lovely return stay at Jonathan’s Digs. A brilliant commute to and from Liverpool, very nice being out of the city. The house is clean, warm and very comfortable. Good transport links and supermarkets nearby. Thanks again!
23rd Oct 2025
Thanks Liam. Great to have you stay again and look forward to next time.
The best digs iv stayed in on tour so far. House was perfectly clean, tidy, all the amenities you could need and a super quick and easy commute into town. Can’t recommend Jonathan’s property enough!
21st Oct 2025
Thanks so much Tom. Great to hear. Best wishes and looking forward to your next stay. Jonathan.
Jonathan’s property was perfect. Greeted us on the day to run everything by us- lovely clean and tidy property. The bus into the centre was really easy to get, right outside the house and every 10 mins.
Glad that we’ve managed to book and stay again next year! Thank you!
22nd Sep 2025
Thanks so much Cordelia. See you next year. 😀
Ideal digs in every way. Will always stay here when in Liverpool.
14th Jul 2025
Thanks Jon. Looking forward to your next visit. :)
Jonathan was an amazing host! The digs were very clean and organized, and the entire house felt renovated and new. It was a very easy journey to the theatre. Jonathan was very professional and responded very quickly to messages, I would definitely stay here again!
15th Jun 2025
I highly recommend staying at Jonathan's home, if you like a bit of peace and quiet, to be able to relax after a long day and feel a little home from home, then this is definitely the place.
It's clean, modern, warm and you will have lots of space as it's a full house, in a nice area with easy links to the theatre, on the bus its takes 20mins into the city centre.
Jonathan is a great host who is always on hand if anything is wrong or that you need. Ill definitely be back when im in Liverpool
30th Mar 2025
It was lovely having you to stay Chia and thanks again for looking after my house so beautifully. See you again soon ..... Jonathan.
Jonathans place is an excellent base for when touring in Liverpool. 20 minutes to the theatre by bus and the stop is right on your doorstep. The home is well equipped with everything you’ll need and it’s very comfortable and quiet
2nd Mar 2025
Thanks Martin. I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay and found it convenient. I look forward to welcoming you back. :)
My colleague and I had a wonderful stay at Jonathan's accommodation. The house is so clean and cosy with everything you could need. It's a little bit far out from the theatre but there's a bus-route that's really easy and the stop is very close. The kitchen is really nice to cook in and the bed was really comfy. Would definitely book these digs again!
22nd Feb 2025
Thank you both for staying, it was a real pleasure to be your host and I hope you have the opportunity to visit again.
Lovely stay in this digs house.
Very clean and very clear communication throughout. Had everything we needed.
Bus to work was £2 but we mostly drove or used the train.
Parking was £6 a day at st John’s if you make an online account.
Aldi and park run at the end of the road.
Also enjoyed driving over to Wirral Country park for walks along the coast and nice pubs.
Would recommend and would stay again.
8th Jan 2025
Thanks Abigail. I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay and also had some time to explore the area. Hope to welcome you back again soon. Jonathan.
Thanks again
I would say lovely house and easy to Lime st via train or bus although I’ve never done the bus.
30th Sep 2024
Thanks again Amanda for looking after my house so wonderfully. Such a pleasure having you to stay for a second time and I look forward to more. 😀
Had the most amazing stay at Jonathan’s the house is beautiful and very easy access into Liverpool town centre by bus and train!
19th Sep 2024
Aww ... thanks Tanisha. It was great having you to stay and it will be a pleasure welcoming you back should you wish to stay again. Thanks again for choosing my digs ... Jonathan.
This was our second stay at Johnathans Digs, it was just as lovely as the first time and would highly recommend! Brilliant house and great location with fantastic host!
Thank you
24th Aug 2024
Thanks so much Ellie. It was great to have you back and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. See you again soon I hope.
What can I say, these are the best digs ever!!
It's a lovely house with everything you might want and Jonathan is an amazing host!
Very easy commute to the city centre on Merseyrail. (takes about 25 minutes door to door).
If I ever go back to Liverpool with a show, there is only one place to stay!
17th Jul 2024
Thanks so much Jens ..... and you will be most welcome :)
The house had everything I needed and more, and Jonathan was so kind and accommodating, it is a bit further out but if you will to do the commute it’s so worth it!
9th Jun 2024
This little house is a find. Really comfortable and quiet with everything you could need. The area is a little quiet for waking back from the metro alone however I was with a friend from the cast and we had no issues and felt safe. You can also drive to Birkenhead north and park for free. The train takes less then 15 mins to Lime street. Plenty of parking on the Rd outside the house. It has everything you could need, was cosy and warm and Jonathan was really welcoming and helpful.
25th Mar 2024
Thanks Kirsty. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Many guests have now stayed and thankfully no-one has reported any safety issues. You're quite right though ... in any new area it's always best to stay safe. The bus back from the city stops just 1 minute from the front door so this is another possible option instead of the 10 minute walk to/from the metro. Thanks again for your lovely review. J
A great stay. A really lovely property and suprisingly easy to get to either by bus or the mersey rail.
29th Feb 2024
Thanks Tom. I'm glad you enjoyed the digs and found it a simple trip into the Theatre. Many Regards. J
Such a comfortable and lovely stay at Johnathan's Digs. Super easy bus journey to Liverpool central and The Theatre's. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend. Will definitely stay again in the future.
21st Feb 2024
Thanks Ellie. It was a pleasure having you to stay and look forward to the next time. :)
Lovely digs slightly further out than we expected however we had a lovely week. Thank you Jonathan x
15th Feb 2024
It was a pleasure having you to stay. Best wishes ... Jonathan.
Great digs!
Lovely house with everything in good condition. Location is out of town but buses are super regular and only takes 20 mins max. Helpful and attentive host. Would definitely stay here again.
9th Feb 2024
Thanks Vicky. Hope to see you again very soon.
A home away from home! The space was very comfortable and had all the amenities you’d need. Jonathon was a great host with frequent communication. Although being across the river, it’s only a 12 min drive to the theatre or a very quick metro in. Would definitely stay again!
12th Jan 2024
Thanks Sadie. Look forward to it :)
This is a great place to stay. And the metro is so easy quick. House very clean and host so welcoming. Will be back when I’m at the Empire Theatre. Thank you
Amanda
27th Nov 2023
I'm so pleased it was all enjoyable for you and I look forward to welcoming you back.
Jonathan's house is brilliant. Super cosy and clean and tidy. And, although its a short train ride away from the Empire. Its literally straight out of the station and into stage door. Jonathan was also friendly, helpful and quick to respond. Will definitely stay there again when I'm back to Liverpool
1st Nov 2023
Thanks Ryan. It will be a pleasure to welcome you back.
Had an amazing time staying at Jonothans beauitful self contained digs in Liverpool, the commute to the centre was just a short walk to the station and only ten minutes on the train. And trains are very frequent and run late which is handy if your working in theatre. The home was beautifully decorated, very modern and spacious and a great price for what it is. Definitely would stay again
23rd Oct 2023
Thanks so much Aimee. It was a pleasure having you to stay and hope to see you again soon. Best wishes for the tour. Jonathan.
Perfect place for us to use as a base whilst working in the area for the last 12 weeks. Always lovely and clean and any issues resolved straight away. communication on point and as said before easy to get hold of and questions resolved quickly and efficiently. Thank You!
20th Oct 2023
Thanks so much Sam. You and the team will be most welcome again. Best wishes ... Jonathan.
Beautiful house, super comfy! Jonathan was helpful and lovely. Easy and quick to get to the theatre via train. Nice to be a little out of the hussle in a quiet area. Will be staying again for sure! Thank you for having us!
19th Jul 2023
Thanks so much Rachel - it was a pleasure having you all to stay. Please come again soon. J
Don't be put off by the journey, the house is lovely. Ideal for a home away from home! Such a beautiful place to relax after a show. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Will absolutely book again if im ever in Liverpool!
11th Jul 2023
Thanks so much Jenna. It was a pleasure having you to stay. J
Super digs in Birkenhead. I took Liverpool’s very efficient and fun Metro to the Empire each day. It drops you pretty much door to door (Lime Street). House was immaculate, spacious and with the best shower I’ve had in a Digs or Airbnb property.
6th Jul 2023
Thanks so much Jack - it was a pleasure having you to stay. See you again soon I hope.
Lovely little house situated next to an amazing park, close to stations and buses so easy to get to and from Liverpool theatres.
The house itself was lovely and clean and very cosy.
Jonathon was really helpful and kind, I would highly recommend!
26th Jun 2023
Thanks so much Stuart. It was great having you to stay and I'm delighted you mentioned the park - it is a very special one ! Take care and see you again I hope ?
I'm really not exaggerating when I say, this is one of the highest standard digs in the country! I'd stay again in a heartbeat, exceptionally clean, comfy, quiet area - the bus is so easy to the theatre - under 30 mins! 5* Review!
7th Jun 2023
Wow .... thanks Simon. I'm so delighted you enjoyed it and, of course, it will be a pleasure having you to stay again. Best wishes ... Jonathan.

16th May 2023
Thanks Juliet. It was a pleasure having you to stay and I look forward to welcoming you again.
Fantastic accommodation finished to a high standard. It’s comfortable and very homey. Perfect for one or two people. I absolutely loved it and will definitely stay again. Johnathan is a fantastic host and was friendly, kind and professional.
24th Apr 2023
Thanks so much Joshua. So glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again soon.

19th Mar 2023
Thank you so much for visiting and for looking after my house so beautifully. It will be a pleasure to see you again sometime. Many Regards .... Jonathan.
Jonathan has gone above and beyond, the place has a warm, modern feel, an incredible shower, bed and kitchen facilities. Lots of local shops and a short commute into Central Liverpool. It felt homely and at an amazing rate for what you’re getting.
7th Mar 2023
Thanks Matthew. Such a pleasure having you to stay and thanks for your review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.
These digs are excellent, don't let the distance from the theatre put you off - very easy, cheap train ride in. Brilliant value for money!
6th Mar 2023
Thanks Stephanie. Once again, great to have you stay. Best wishes for 2023 and I hope to see you again soon. Jonathan.
Such a lovely flat! Really cosy and homely, nice back garden and felt like a quiet neighbourhood. I took the merseyrail in to empire theatre every day taking 40 minutes but a cheap return ticket and pretty easy! Communicative, friendly host. Thanks!
22nd Jan 2023
I'm so glad you enjoyed my house. Thanks for your review and I hope you can visit again - you will be most welcome.
A fantastic, self contained space from a brilliant host! Could not fault a single thing! If I am in Liverpool again I would 100% stay here!
7th Nov 2022

I had an extremely comfortable stay at Jonathan's house. One of the most immaculately clean places I've ever stayed, and everything had been thought of. Easy journey by metro or bus to the city centre and to the Empire Theatre. I hope to stay again!
15th May 2022
Aww shucks William, thank you. You will be most welcome.
