4-story Victorian House built in 1897, now transformed into a coworking/coliving space in the North of England. A mix of traditional and modern design—14 guest rooms, 2 coworking rooms, and 1 large co-living space that includes the kitchen and living area. 1,000 Mbps up and down connection. The rooms are spread across two floors, so you can work with others or switch back and forth to your room for calls or private work at any time.
Large kitchen/living area, take a break, talk with fellow nomads during the day or cook when ever you want. Weekend trips out into the English countryside happen when Duncan is in the country. Plan your own crazy night out in party town Blackpool, beach walks to the dunes, theatre shows, Lake District, Manchester and Liverpool are just some of the things you can easily do at the weekends.

Community
We welcome digital nomads. Remote workers, location-independent workers, whatever you want to call yourself .People who are not on holiday but work Monday through Friday online, and can do it from anywhere in the world.
Our houses are about working smart during the week and exploring something different at the weekend. We only have remote workers staying apart from Sasha, who is from Ukraine and is waiting to go home one day soon. Movie nights, dinners, walks, theater nights out, etc. are all there to bring you all together, but you can also do your own thing, as many do, and that's fine.
We just want you all to enjoy our coworking/coliving space and all that the North West of England has to offer.

About South Shore Blackpool
Blackpool's South Shore Beach area is the traditional holiday part of the town, running along the beach south of the tower. There is a mix of guesthouses and people living here from all over the country and from all walks of life. The neighbourhood is quiet but can be busy on sunny days in the summer from out-of-towners visiting the beach. You may read or hear negative things about the town. It is not Mayfair; it's like any non-upmarket part of London or Manchester, etc., only it's on the beach. It's safe, it's quirky for sure.
