    As the title states, does anybody on here know someone who offers digs - ie rooms with or without meals - for a couple of weeks or so, starting on 01 July?

    This is for my son. He is a very sensible lad attending a course in Barnsley at a certain football club.

    He doesn't smoke, drink or take drugs.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Might not smoke or take drugs now, but a fortnight in Barnsley can change a man ;)

    Just to add to that, If you cant find anywhere for the entire time he is here let me know and can crash at mine for a few days gratis, live just off Donny road so not far from town/oakwell.

    But an AirBnB might do you a cheap deal for a longer booking, try find one that is owned private instead of through a company.
