Living with Host
A spacious double room available in a clean 2 bedroom flat. Bedding and towels provided, as well as electric blanket, blankets, hot water bottle for those cold winter nights. The flat is within a gated complex in Mapperley Park, a quiet suburb only a short 20min walk to the centre of Nottingham.
This is my home and I want all my guests to feel like they are home from home. This is not a business or money making venture. I enjoy meeting like-minded people and providing reasonably priced digs so I can buy tickets for shows and continue to support the arts.
Guest Parking
The area does have permit and pay and display options. Free parking comes with your booking and a permit will be given to you on arrival. This needs to be displayed on your dashboard. Please let me know in advance if you are driving.
The Area and Transport
a comfy lounge chair in the bedroom provides a little extra comfort to relax and unwind in. However, the use of the lounge along with the TV are always available.
The walk to the theatre is straightforward and takes approximately 20mins unless you stop off for a nice coffee from the independent coffee shop ;-)

Thanks Chris. A shame we didn’t get to meet but hopefully on your next tour, decorating should be finished by then hehe.
I couldn't have wished for a more perfect stay. Craig is a wonderful host, and made me feel more than welcome from the off. It's an extremely comfortable and well-lit room, and I slept remarkably well! A great kitchen, too, and a nice lounge with TV to sit and unwind in. It's an easy 20-minute walk to and from town, but nicely distanced for some proper peace and quiet from the centre's hustle and bustle. Well worth booking!
21st Aug 2023
Thank you very much Jan, glad you had a good stay. Was great to get to meet you!

15th Dec 2021
I had the absolute best stay at Craig’s home in Nottingham. The place was beautiful, modern and homely. Craig was the perfect host always up for a chat, but at the same time completely respectful of my personal space. Will be staying again for sure!x
