Parking, because vans matter
3 of our 7 Colchester properties name parking in the listing. Tell us how many vehicles you are bringing and we will filter to the ones that can take them.
Splitting a crew
If the crew is bigger than any single property, we place it across several nearby and keep it on one contract and one invoice. In Colchester that is a common way to house a larger team.

A Dedicated Account Manager
Every booking gets one, whatever the size. Someone who knows your sites and your crews.
One Supplier, Not Twelve Landlords
Your contract is with us. When something needs fixing it is ours to sort, not a conversation with the property owner.
Built for Long Stays
Average stay with us is 33 days. Hotels price that badly and short-stay platforms are not built for it.
Specialised for major projects
We understand the logistics of a site team. Parking for vans, properties chosen for the commute rather than the postcode, cleaning scheduled around shift patterns, and crews kept close together when they are split across more than one property.
