When choosing accommodation for working away from home, there are many benefits of self-catering accommodation for contractors. Properties can be any type, from apartments and houses to villas and cottages, but all have fully equipped kitchens and dining facilities, along with those little extra touches that create a home from home environment.
Normally the term ‘self-catering’ brings to mind holidays by the sea, but there is a wide choice of property available throughout the UK. The benefits provided by serviced self-catering accommodation in every location means it is a viable option for working away from home as well as for leisure breaks or holidays.

The benefits of self-catering accommodation for contractors
Finding comfortable accommodation for contractors working away from home is about more than just finding suitable rooms. It can also provide space for the team to take time away from work, safeguarding their mental health and wellbeing, which in turn boosts productivity.
Space
One of the benefits of self-catering accommodation for contractors is that the whole property is at your disposal. Properties have more space and privacy, providing separation from work for a healthy work-life balance.
With larger rooms than a hotel, there is space to eat and relax together, rather than sitting in a restaurant or pub in the evening. Furthermore, the extra space and facilities mean that work meetings can be held at any time of day, without having to book meeting space.
Flexibility
One of the benefits of self-catering accommodation for contractors is the provision of amenities for cooking. Restaurant eating or relying on take-aways can be expensive, especially for a large team. Contractors will be able to eat more healthily and anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions will not have to worry about what to choose from a menu!
Your team can and go as they please without being tied to booking in advance or restaurant opening times. As contractors often work long and unsociable hours, this is an added bonus.
Cost savings
When searching for self-catering accommodation close to major construction projects, costs can soon mount up when factoring in the number of rooms required, meals, and extras like laundry. However, the facilities provided by self-catering accommodation – fully equipped kitchens with washing machines - mean teams can live together and dine in, reducing extra costs.
Moreover, the ability to book for extended stays at reasonable rates means that companies can make significant savings on accommodation costs.
