Curl up Under the Skylight at a Former Victorian Hayloft
Nestled in West Didsbury this former Victorian stable hayloft offers our guests luxury, privacy and comfort in a quiet location, tucked away yet near to everything you could need. Oaker Chase has it’s own external entrance on the first floor with private south-west facing terrace. The apartment itself is large and airy being 650 square foot (60 square metres) with it’s own workstation designed with the business traveler in mind. The kitchen is fitted with a fridge-freezer, oven, hob, washing machine, coffee maker and butchers block island. The 3 piece bathroom is equipped with a large shower with body jets. To add to your comfort we have installed a smart TV with Netfix and Freeview. There are no shared amenities, everything in the loft is for the exclusive usage of our guests. The bedroom includes a double bed with closet and a chest of drawers. Road parking outside is plentiful as it's a very quiet road. Although our guests privacy is of the upmost importance to us we are generally available to assist if required. Burton Road is the heart of West Didsbury, a beautifully maintained leafy hub of shops, bars, and restaurants where independence is paramount. Drink a beer brewed down the road or in New York, buy a cake baked this morning, and find vintage threads. Oaker Chase is 10-12 minutes walk from the Withington Manchester Metro tram stop and 5 mins from major bus routes into the City Centre. Manchester Airport is a 15min drive away as is the City Centre. This luxury apartment is designed for a maximum of 2 people only so strictly no groups, parties or events. We are flexible with check-in, all we ask is that if it is outside of the 3pm- 7pm timescale you kindly let us know. Sorry but the apartment is not suitable for pets. Please bear in mind that this is 120 year old former hayloft full of character however some doorways may be lower than normal. Please also bear in mind that it is on the first floor up a staircase so may not be suitable for infants and anyone with access issues. This is a quiet residential nook in West Didsbury so we ask our guests to be respectful of the surrounding neighbours. Smoking is allowed on the outside terrace only, cigarette disposal will be provided but an extra cleaning fee of £85 will be charged if anyone smokes inside. We live adjacent to the loft although you will have complete privacy this enables us to be flexible and to easily assist with restaurant bookings, and local information should you require anything.

Your guide to Manchester

All About Manchester

One of the country’s powerhouses during the Industrial Revolution — its nickname Cottonopolis was hard-earned — Manchester’s red brick factories and mills now sit alongside gleaming glass buildings and winding tram tracks. Known worldwide for its musical and sporting giants, this city has a doggedly independent spirit. Whether you’re touring the Theatre of Dreams or browsing the record stores beloved by members of the 1990s Britpop scene, the city’s global cultural influence is evident.

Tucked behind Piccadilly Gardens, the Northern Quarter of the city is packed with large-scale street art highlighting social issues, vintage clothing stores, and eco-conscious cafes lining Thomas Street. Once the city’s garment district, this area is home to Manchester Craft and Design Centre, which showcases independent artists and craftspeople and runs regular workshops for visitors to try their hand at glasswork and silversmithing.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Manchester

Despite having a reputation for rain, Manchester is barely in the top ten UK cities for annual rainfall, and there are plenty of spots for alfresco dining and bar-hopping on a sunny day. However, like the rest of the country, rain is always a possibility, so a waterproof coat or umbrella are sensible regardless of season. Football fans flock to matches on the east and west outskirts of the city during the Premier League football season from mid-August to late May, while large Christmas markets are popular during the festive season. The summer months are popular with visitors combining a city break with adventures in the neighbouring Peak District.


Top things to do in Manchester

Sample the Craft Beer Scene

Make your way to the railway arches behind Piccadilly Station and pay a visit to an internationally-renowned taproom, or taste beer from one of many brewers available along Manchester’s craft ale trail. There are plenty of producers to try all over the city centre, from major players to new micro-breweries.

People’s History Museum

Nestled alongside the River Irwell on the edge of the city’s Spinningfields area, the People’s History Museum tells the story of the fight for the right to vote, the campaign for workers’ leisure time, and the absorbing history of women’s rights and the suffrage movement. This museum provides a deep insight into Manchester’s independent roots, from interactive exhibitions to the world’s largest collection of trade union and political banners.

Independent Ancoats

Less than 10 minutes’ walk from the popular Northern Quarter, Ancoats was once a hub of industry, manufacturing textiles and printing newspapers. Now, its former red brick factories run the gamut of Scandinavian-inspired bakeries, offbeat corner grocery stores, innovative small plates eateries, and the no-holds-barred independent Hope Mill Theatre.
