I am a border collie sheep dog called Jessie, my mistress has 2 private double rooms with TV & fast Wifi for anyone visiting Bradford or the surrounding area. Funky eclectic rooms with everything you need. My mistress will cook you a full English breakfast in the morning (for short term guests only) and gives free tea and coffee in the privacy of your room too. She can also cook you your evening meal and packed lunches. Long term guests can be given breakfast self serve and make their own in the kitchen provided with all the amenities. We live in an industrial city 1.34 miles from the town Centre in Bradford, West Yorkshire. It is 15 miles from the start of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and further to the Lake District. Nearby within the Bradford District is the Bronte Country, namely Haworth, the place where authors of famous English Literature, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights were written. Bradford also has the National Media Museum of Photography & Television, many theatres and shopping. Bradford also boasts the UNESCO site of Saltaire, a must visit and has many festivals of music and culture. There are beautiful journeys over the moors to Hebden Bridge, Halifax, touching walks of the Pennine Way. Leeds is 10 miles away and on everyones' itinerary,York, being only 30 miles away. Bradford is central in the UK, a mid stop from London to Scotland. Furthermore it is a multicultural city and is famous for Asian curries, mainly Pakistani Kashmiri food. Lots of curry houses to explore! Good and cheap eating out! Real ale is very popular with local breweries for those real ale connoisseurs. Happy to spend time with you and show you around especially on my daily doggie walks and swims in beauty spots in and around Bradford. My mistress is a backpacker and has travelled extensively. She also has been a voluntary English teacher in Asia and Africa. We are interested in all peoples short or long term stay, whether it be a night, a week, a month or many months, we are happy to see everyone and my mistress is also happy to help teach English to people who needs help with the English language. Our motto is that strangers are only friends we haven't met yet! Looking forward to hosting you with my mistress Irene who is looking forward to looking after you along with myself who is awaiting you to come and pat my head and throw me a ball as often as you can .... so I await your happy face and I conclude with saying woof! woof! in the hope that we may meet and run around in the lovely surrounding countryside of Bradford! Woof! woof!

My stay at Irene's place was just wonderful. Authentic homestay experience. Nice clean place. In fact, much better than what you see in the photos.
And, what a kind, and helpful host! You're never worried about anything when you're at Irene's place.
She allowed me to use her kitchen which has everything you need to make your own meal. She even served super delicious meals at a very nominal charge.
Neighbourhood is safe and quiet. You can easily reach the town in just few minutes by bus. Bus stop is about 4 minutes walk. There is a nice large park just a couple of minutes walk away. A very large Tesco outlet is just 5 minutes walk away.
Jesse is a great company as well :)
A perfect home away from home. Very very highly recommended.
