Living with Host
Stay in a quiet, newly renovated Victorian house, ideal for theatre professionals seeking rest and inspiration. The beautiful double room features a comfy bed, wardrobe, large mirror, chair, and side light. Unwind in the fantastic garden after long rehearsals or performances. Guests share a fully equipped kitchen/diner with oven, airfryer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer, plus a large bathroom with bath and shower. A downstairs cloakroom adds extra convenience. As a musician, actor, and theatre reviewer,
I have two adorable little dogs and I understand the need for comfort, calm, and a welcoming space, all while staying close to Stony Stratford’s vibrant cultural life.
Guest Parking
Guests can park in the drive, in front of the house or the town car park at the end of the road.
The Area and Transport
A five-minute walk into Stony Stratford, which is a charming and historic coaching town, often described as the “Jewel of Milton Keynes,” with a rich heritage, lined with historic buildings, traditional inns, and a vibrant High Street. The famous phrase “Cock and Bull story” is even said to have originated in the town’s historic inns.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Stony offers stunning walks and running routes through the Ouse Valley and nature reserve, perfect for both relaxation and exploration.
The town has a thriving, independent spirit, with a wide range of eateries, from English and French to Italian, Mediterranean, Thai, and Indian, alongside cosy pubs, wine bars, cafés, tea rooms, and a popular farmers’ market. Independent shops and local businesses give the High Street a unique and welcoming feel, all within easy walking distance.
Stony is on the main bus route to Central Milton Keynes. It is a 10-minute drive to the Centre MK and Milton Keynes Theatre.

Shahnaz is a most welcoming host and made me feel instantly at home. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, I particularly loved the plants. My bedroom was clean and spacious and I was provided with space in the kitchen for my cooking. I thoroughly enjoyed having creative conversations with Shahnaz and felt inspired. Would highly reccomend.
