Home from home! A great place to stay when you're in Manchester. I felt like part of the family. Claire was a most welcoming host. I really felt like part of the family. The room was comfortable. I enjoyed breakfast with the other guests and the family. Good location for the metrolink.

This warmhearted family created a homelike atmosphere for me, so I really was in good hands. They are wonderful people and I truly recommend them as hosts.

I´m very sorry to say that about the room at Claire´s , it was horrible. The room which was offered was changed into the cellar. It was dark, dirty and it smelled fusty. Although Claire and her family were really friendly and very obliging.

Literally Claire and Tony are the best Hosts! Although It's my first time using homestay, I could say they are the greatest hosts ever! Claire and Tony were always kind, nice and considerate, and also since I arrived at home they've made me feel at home and feel like their another family. Thanks to them, my first experience in the UK and in Manchester was really really great! They are so lovely. Also I love their two kids haha. I can't thank you enough for their consideration, kindness and all their stuff including that they tried to help me regarding Manchester life like housing, work, and lots of attractions. If I have a chance, I'm gonna stay in this house again. I was sooooo happy with you guys. See you soon!
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.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
