Coronation Street fans can stay overnight in an Airbnb next to the Rovers Return

Corrie fans now have the chance to walk the cobbles and stay on the famous street with Airbnb's latest listing.

For one night only, two special guests will be able to immerse themselves in the iconic location and stay in The Rovers' Annexe, self-contained pop-up house just a stone's throw from the famous Rovers Return pub.

The accommodation is in the heart of the street right next door to that famous red-brick inn, home to many a dramatic scene and of course Betty's hotpot.

During the stay, guests will be taken on a private tour of the set followed by a hotpot dinner from the annexe whilst watching classic Corrie episodes, and if they're lucky, a pint in the Rovers and breakfast from Roy's Rolls may be on offer.

The outside of the annexe is designed in typical Weatherfield style with red bricks and a traditional green door. The view looks out towards Audrey's and a little further along to Preston's Petals and the kebab shop.

As the guests stroll down the street they will pass Fiz and Tyrone's, take a peek in the Kabin window, or wander up Victoria Street to check out the menu at Speed Daal to see what Alya'’s been up to.

Although interiors will be closed, guests will be able to wander around Coronation, Rosamund and Victoria Street to their heart's content. They can even have a stroll down the ginnel, the site of so many Corrie secret meetings.

The specially constructed temporary annexe has been kitted out in classic Coronation Street style, taking inspiration from the Rovers Return B&B decor.

Guests will enjoy a comfortable living area to relax in, with homage to 'Jenny Connor's' wood panelling and patterned wallpaper.

The living room has a dining table where guests can sit and enjoy their hotpot. The adjoining twin bedroom provides comfy bedding and prime Weatherfield views.

Head of Continuing Drama, John Whiston said: "What fan of Coronation Street hasn't had a dream where you find yourself transported into the show itself, wandering around the houses of your best-loved characters. I certainly have.

"This unique stay gives you the chance to do just that, stay the night and wake up right next to The Rovers Return. What better way to celebrate Britain opening up again than your very own staycation on the nation's favourite Street."

How to book the Rovers

The Rovers' Annexe sleeps a maximum of two guests and is available to book for October 2, 2021 for one night only for just £60 (fee donated to charity). Airbnb reviews will be taken into consideration.
