Short Stay Colchester
Short stays for site managers, sole-trader contractors, and project teams. VAT invoices on demand, flexible if the job runs over.
Why Short Stay Accommodation beats a hotel in Colchester
Working in Colchester and need somewhere better than a budget hotel? Our short stay accommodation hands short-stay guests, project teams and visiting staff a complete home for the stay: cook your own meals, do your own laundry, park off-street, and never see a surprise on the bill because gas, electric, water, council tax and WiFi are all in.
Who stays with us in Colchester
From single travellers to whole project teams, short-stay guests, project teams and visiting staff use our Colchester properties as a home base. Larger groups are no problem — we can place crews together or in nearby houses, all on one invoice if that is easier for the office.
A full kitchen that pays for itself
Every Colchester property comes with a fully equipped kitchen, and that is deliberate. For short-stay guests, project teams and visiting staff staying weeks at a time, the ability to shop, cook and do laundry at home is the single biggest saving over a hotel — and the comfort is the bonus.
