Hi there,
My name is John and my partner for 31 years is Chris. We both lived in Spain for over 8 years near Valencia and in China for over 2 years in Shenzhen. We both like travelling but have now settled down in Whitefield near Bury, Greater Manchester and lived here since 2013.
We live near a major bus stop for buses every 10 minutes into Manchester City Centre or Bury, our local town. It's only a 10 minute walk to either tram stop (Metrolink) where a tram will get you to Central Manchester in 20 minutes, or Bury in 10 minutes. There are at least 12 good restaurants and several pubs within walking distance. There are also many takeaways in the area. A full list is on the notice board and we give you a welcome pack with lots of information including this list.
Within a one mile walk on side roads is the entrance to our beautiful countryside where you can go off in all manner of Directions and always be totally in the countryside. These walks are by rivers, canals, several parks and a disused railway track. You can walk or cycle on these, all the way into Manchester or Bury and beyond. John walks these with Chris and also cycles them on his own. There is some beautiful countryside so close to us. If you have a car, then we can direct you to beauty spots further afield.
Chris is a fully qualified IELTs and ESOL teacher and would love to host students who also have a requirement for English Lessons during their stay. Chris also used to speak fluent Spanish, but is a little rusty now.
We hope you will give us the opportunity of meeting you and making your visit to Manchester enjoyable and memorable too.
All the best,
John & Chris
