We live in Birmingham West Midlands 4 miles from the city centre. The transport links are superb, not far from Birmingham airport and if you are a Shakespeare fan we live a short train journey away. Our children are all grown up with one daughter away at university so we have the space to host.

    frankly I was well received and I had a good stay with this nice family. Only I would like to apologize to this good family when I jammed the key while handling the lock without paying attention.
    I advise you to go there and share a good stay with this good family.

    Rosie and her husband Osbourne are really super nice, friendly and easy going people. It was my first time in the UK and they helped me with lots of stuff. From shopping to booking my coach ticket they were always happy to help. Highly recommend this host.

    Thanks Sayed it was a pleasure to be your host for your first time in UK.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
