The Experience
This mews cottage in popular West Didsbury is a beautifully calm home for couples or a family. 129 has been perfectly crafted in both function and form, from the underfloor air source heating and shutters rescued from a French château, to the original local art and beautiful, obscure pieces from far and wide. David is an architect and every detail, piece and picture has been carefully found, commissioned or crafted.
Cook in the sleek and well-equipped open-plan kitchen/living space, order delicious organic produce from the nearby deli, take coffee or tipples out to the terrace, set up a game of chess. Then, wind up the spiral staircase to the master bedroom; back downstairs, little ones love the Peter Pan wallpaper in the twin room. Games, music, DVDs, TVs upstairs and down… David has thought of everything.
There’s free parking, the tram stops a few minutes down the road to take you right into town, you can walk to the river and parks and it’s a hop from the airport.

The only disappointment was that Man United didn't beat Liverpool! The house was perfect for our needs - really liked the quirky or old furnishings with the modern. A great location which was convenient for the bus & tram up to town. We felt lucky to have the Craft market on Sunday & bought a couple of great pieces as well as the best eccles cakes. We'll definitely come back when we're up for the footie another time. Thank you!

129 Didsbury is such a wonderful place to stay. It's like returning home. As soon as we walk through the door we feel relaxed. The owners have taken great care to think of everything. Everything about the property just works, the decor is simple yet delightful and the kitchen is just fantastic. All the eclectic shops and restaurants of West Didsbury are a two minute stroll away, which is perfect.This is our third visit here and it won't be our last. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Manchester.

Location
The neighbourhood
West Didsbury has plenty of independent cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. A short tram ride gets you into central Manchester and all its big-city offerings: sports and National Football Museum, music venues, heaps of other museums, galleries, the Cathedral, Salford Quays, Media City and more. You could easily do a day trip to Liverpool, and it's only ten minutes from the airport.
Local points of interest from David Lygate
- Some of Manchester's top restaurants are nearby & there is an eclectic mix of bars & independent shops. Combined with lovely parks and waterways makes this the ideal location for walk, run or even canoe trip!
- West Didsbury is a 10 minute taxi ride from the airport & only 4 miles from the city centre, we have a local tram stop so from the front door you can be there in 20 minutes via the tram. The network also gives easy access to Salford Quays & Media City.
- Manchester is steeped in history being the birthplace of the industrial revolution & has Britain's first Urban Heritage Park. We are also very fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful country houses & have a wealth of art galleries & museums.
- Manchester is home to two world famous football teams, the national football museum, Lancashire County Cricket, Sale Sharks Rugby Union, the aquatics centre with an olympic size pool & the Velodrome with world class cycling facilities.
- Manchester's family attractions cover all areas: art; sport; science & industry; social & natural history; transport; war; media (CBBC tour); lego; sealife; indoor sky diving; snow skiing; jump nation; rock climbing; or see the deer at Tatton or Lyme Park.
- An extensive road network, puts all of Manchester & the North West easily within your grasp for day trips to: Lake District, North Wales, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Liverpool, Chester, Leeds, York & Blackpool are all less than two hours away by car.

Introducing
David Lygate
Scottish-born David is understandably proud of what he has created with 129 Didsbury – it’s his real passion project. He has a great eye and his award-winning architecture is all about finding a sense of calm in his buildings. He’s a bit of a live wire though – marathons, ice climbing, sea kayaking, wild swimming in Salford Quays… He and his partner Amanda (and dog Barney) live on the other side of the courtyard - so he meets and greets and is on hand if needed. He honed his hospitality skills as a ski rep in the Italian Alps in his younger days.
David gave us such a warm welcome and was able to answer any questions we had about the area - nothing was too much trouble The house was spotless and beautifully conceived - everything of the highest quality - West Didsbury had everything we needed and Manchester was easily accessible - would highly recommend 129
