Contractor stays:
filling weekdays with work crews
Weekends sell themselves. Monday to Friday is where contractors come in — long stays, quiet guests and steady income outside the holidays.
Contractors and work crews often need somewhere to stay from Monday to Friday — exactly the nights that holiday guests find hardest to fill. For many hosts, they are a steady, reliable source of bookings all year round.
What work crews look for
Work crews have different priorities from holiday guests. Getting these right makes your property an easy choice for them.
- A bed eachMost crews want one bed per worker, not shared doubles.
- Parking for vansSay clearly how many vans fit and whether it’s off-road.
- Fast Wi-FiFor paperwork, calls and evenings.
- A proper kitchenCrews often cook — a big fridge and freezer matter.
- Washing machineWork clothes need washing midweek.
- Simple invoicingA clear invoice the company can pay, often in advance.
How to reach them
Make a page on your own website just for contractor stays, with the details above and weekly prices. List on sites where companies book accommodation, and let local firms know directly — a single relationship can fill months of weekdays.
Building relationships
Contractor bookings often come back again and again once a company knows and trusts you. Be clear, be reliable, and make invoicing easy — and you may find a single relationship fills your weekdays for months.
