A night on the cobbles: Coronation Street lists a two-bed annexe on Airbnb

Coronation Street is offering fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stay on the historic cobbles.

For one night only, Corrie will open the cobbles to two guests, allowing super-fans to immerse themselves in the iconic location and adopt the Rovers Return as their next-door neighbour for the evening as they stay at ‘The Rovers’ Annexe’, Coronation Street, M10.

The self-contained pop-up house, with its red-bricked façade and double-glazed windows, will be situated in the heart of the street, next door to the famous Rovers Return Inn. 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 view from ‘The Rovers’ Annexe’ looks out towards Audrey’s and a little further along to Prestons 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 rendezvous.

The specially constructed temporary annexe has been kitted out in classic Coronation Street style, inspired by the Rovers Return B&B decor. Guests will enjoy a comfortable living area to relax in, with homage to ‘Jenny Connors’ 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.

At the centre of the living area, guests will find a TV set up with hours’ worth of the most loved Coronation Street episodes from over the years. Fans will be able to watch the affair of the 80s – Deirdre Barlow’s tryst with Mike Baldwin – the disastrous tram crash a decade ago, and last year’s classic moment where David Platt discovers a sinkhole in his back garden. For a truly authentic experience, guests will enjoy all of their favourite moments from the soap while sitting in the heart of the street.

• No pets are allowed
• Maximum two guests
• No smoking
• Picture in front of the local pub encouraged
• Hotpot for tea non-negotiable
