I stayed here for a few weeks, as the purpose for my visit was moving to Manchester, and I needed a temporary, cheapish, not necessarily central place to stay while I looked around for a place of my own. Iza and Andrew were very generous and pleasant hosts, going above and beyond what I would have expected.
Just as a few examples, when I arrived in Manchester, Iza offered to pick me up at the airport (though I opted to take the train and tram to get a better feel for the city). Additionally, through some very bad luck the washer broke down just before I arrived, and Iza offered to take my laundry to a nearby laundrette while we waited for the new one to arrive. She also took me on a short trip around Bury to show me some places to eat etc. Andrew took me along on a walk around some nearby hills after I mentioned that I was interested in hiking. When I'd found my new place, Andrew offered to drive me and my stuff there.
Having pretty much full access to the kitchen was incredibly helpful for a longer stay, with Iza preparing some space in the fridge and freezer for me to keep my stuff. The room felt pretty big with a lot of space for storage, and the en suite bathroom was very convenient. I'm not very used to dealing with dogs, but Patch was friendly and didn't make much noise other than the occasional barking (never during the night). If you're a very light sleeper you should probably be aware that Andrew often takes off on his motorbike early in the morning (I tend to sleep with earplugs and I was fine for the most part).
