Really easy to check in with lock box, a wonderful space away from the bustle of the theatre

I had a lovely stay here. Very close to roker park and beach. Easy to get into Sunderland city centre on the metro and I’d suggest getting Uber home as it’s not too expensive. It gets cold but the heating system warms up the apartment.

Had a lovely stay.

Great stay and is exactly what you see on the pictures, would recommend an Uber coming home which is a 5min drive from the theatre

Amazing digs; got everything one needs for two weeks in Sunderland. It’s not very close to the theatre - but I had really nice walks along the beach, which is only 10 min walk from the house. Modern studio and very well kept; Gaynor responded quickly and even though I had no issues with the flat, I’m sure they would have been promptly seen to. Would definitely stay again.

My second stay at these lovely digs. Self contained with combi oven, airfryer and hob. There's a washer and dryer you can use too which I didn't find last time! Good internet and shower, with desk to work on. It's quite cold (opposite to last time!), especially in the mornings but there's a heater to keep it cosy. 30 min walk to Empire, big tesco nearby. Contactless check in and Gaynor was also very communicative. Recommended - I'll be back, I'm sure!

Lovely digs. With everything you can possibly need.

Brilliant digs - in a quiet area of Sunderland. About a 30/35 min walk from Empire and a short walk to a big Tescos. The apartment had all the amenities you’d need with a comfy bed & good heating. Felt cosy and quiet, flexible check in with great communication from Gaynor. The flat is bright in the mornings so followed the recommendation from another reviewer of any eye mask. Would definitely book again & recommend.

Absolute perfection. Everything you could possibly need, great communication, easy access, free parking, 15 walk to the beach and great kitchen facilities. I drove and parked in the centre only 10 mins away and walked over to the theatre each day with no fuss. Would 100% recommend, I only wish I had been staying longer

Exactly what I was hoping for! :)
Gaynors place is everything you could want. Private. Cosy and bright, with super efficient heating. Instant hot water for showers. Freezer drawer in the fridge.
Ample storage under the bed and hanging space for clothes.
For getting to the theatre there’s a bus at the end of the road. And you’re close proximity to PureGym and Tesco. And very close to Roker beach too.
Thank you so much for having me! Can’t recommend here enough.

Lovely little self contained studio with everything you need. The only downside, due to the large number of glass windows the room turned into a sauna during the hot weather and the air purification unit provided wasn't sufficient to cool the room.

5 stars all round - A brilliant garden flat - all facilities clean and lovely. A twenty five minute walk from theatre but worth it to get back to your own place to make a cup of tea etc. Warm and cosy. Thanks for that Gaynor. Roy x

Great Digs! Would stay again.
1st Nov 2022
Nice digs at the bottom of a garden. Floors (sticky) and cutlery (also sticky) could have done with a clean, otherwise all good. Great shower, kitchen, bed. 15 min walk to nice beach, 30 mins walk to theatre. Recommended.

The studio apartment was smaller than I was expecting but was very comfy and had everything I needed. It was lovely being a short walk away from the beach aswell as being able to walk to the theatre.

Absolutely loved these digs.... Was sad to leave. Had everything I needed, comfy bed, great shower, lovely kitchen and walking distance to the theatre. Perfect.

Lovely self contained flat with fast WiFi & good shower, 30 mins walk to Sunderland Empire with Tesco nearby. New digs so suggestions: blackout blinds/curtains as it was very bright in mornings & a bit hot with no windows to open + a bigger mirror.
