Serviced Accommodation for Contractors & Business Travel

Our serviced accommodation in Exeter is designed for practical business stays — not weekend breaks. Whether you're placing a team of contractors, arranging relocation housing, or booking accommodation for visiting staff, we offer:

  • Whole-property stays – real homes with space to work, cook, and unwind after long shifts
  • Flexible durations – book for weeks or months, with options to extend if projects run over
  • Company invoicing – we can invoice your business, accept PO numbers, and provide VAT invoices
  • Consistent standards – every property is managed to the same professional level
  • Local support – a real Exeter-based team who know the properties and can respond quickly

This is contractor accommodation in Exeter built around what matters for work stays: reliability, flexibility, and straightforward communication.

What's Included in Your Serviced Stay

Every serviced accommodation booking includes:

  • All utilities – gas, electricity, water, and council tax included in the price
  • High-speed Wi-Fi – suitable for video calls and remote work
  • Professional cleaning – before your arrival; mid-stay cleans available on request
  • Fresh linen and towels – hotel-quality bedding provided
  • Fully equipped kitchen – cook proper meals instead of relying on takeaways
  • Washing machine – most properties include laundry facilities
  • TV and entertainment – Freeview as standard; many properties have smart TVs
  • Workspace options – desks available in selected properties for those who need to work

If you have specific requirements — parking for work vehicles, multiple bedrooms for a team, or accessible ground-floor accommodation — let us know and we'll match you with suitable options.

How Company Invoicing Works

We understand that business bookings often require formal invoicing rather than card payments. Here's how we handle corporate accommodation in Exeter:

  • Company invoices – we can invoice your business directly with full company details
  • PO numbers – we accept purchase orders where your procurement process requires them
  • VAT invoices – all invoices include VAT breakdown for expense claims and accounting
  • Flexible payment terms – standard 14-day terms, with longer terms considered for established clients
  • Repeat booking accounts – simplified booking for companies with regular accommodation needs

If you're booking accommodation regularly for contractors or staff, we can set up an account to streamline future bookings and billing.

Typical Stay Lengths

Our serviced accommodation in Exeter is designed for medium to longer stays:

  • 1–2 weeks – short project work, training courses, interim accommodation
  • 1–3 months – contractor placements, relocation transitions, secondments
  • 3–6 months – longer projects, corporate relocations, insurance-funded stays

The longer the stay, the better the value — monthly rates are significantly lower than nightly equivalents. For stays under one week, see our short stay lets in Exeter which may be more suitable.

Typical Pricing (Guide Only)

Pricing depends on dates, length of stay, property size and location. Longer stays usually reduce the nightly rate.

Stay Length What Most Bookings Look Like Best For
Weekly stays (7–27 nights) Higher nightly rate, flexible dates Short projects, training, temporary cover
Monthly stays (28+ nights) Better value per night Contractors, relocation, repeat placements
Team stays (multiple bedrooms) Priced per property (not per person) Project teams, multiple staff travelling together

To get an accurate quote: tell us your dates, team size, preferred area, and any must-haves (parking, desks, multiple bathrooms). We'll confirm the best available options and next steps.

Depending on your requirements, these related services might be a better fit:

Viewing Checklist

  • Confirm the exact property location and proximity to your work site
  • Check parking availability – especially important for work vehicles or vans
  • Ask about workspace setup if you need to work from the property
  • Confirm check-in arrangements and key collection process
  • Verify Wi-Fi speed if you need reliable connectivity for video calls

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Booking without confirming invoicing arrangements – always check payment terms upfront
  • Assuming all properties have parking – always confirm, especially in the city centre
  • Not checking extension options – if your project might overrun, ask about flexibility before booking
  • Booking through generic platforms without local support – issues are harder to resolve remotely

  • Local Exeter team – responsive support, not a distant call centre
  • Company invoicing – PO numbers, VAT invoices, and flexible payment terms
  • Consistent standards – every property managed to the same professional level
  • Flexible bookings – extend stays if projects change
  • In-house maintenance – fast response if anything needs attention

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer company invoicing / PO numbers?

Yes. We can invoice your business directly, accept PO numbers, and provide full VAT invoices. For regular bookings, we can set up an account to simplify future reservations.

What's the minimum stay length for serviced accommodation in Exeter?

Our serviced accommodation is designed for stays of one week or longer. For shorter stays (a few nights), see our short stay lets in Exeter. For stays of 6+ months, our rooms to rent may offer better value.

Is Wi-Fi, utilities and linen included?

Yes. All our serviced accommodation includes utilities (gas, electricity, water), high-speed Wi-Fi, and fresh linen. There are no hidden extras.

Do you have parking options?

Many properties have off-street parking, some have permits for on-street parking. If parking is essential — especially for work vehicles — tell us and we'll prioritise properties with suitable parking.

Can you accommodate multiple staff in one property?

Yes. We have properties ranging from 1-bedroom flats to larger houses that can accommodate teams. Tell us how many people and we'll recommend suitable options.

Do you support relocation stays?

Yes. Relocation stays are common — whether you're moving staff to Exeter, waiting for a house purchase to complete, or need interim accommodation during a job transition.

What areas of Exeter do you cover?

We have properties across Exeter including the city centre, Heavitree, St Leonard's, Pennsylvania, and areas closer to business parks and the M5. Tell us where you need access to and we'll recommend the best options.

Can you set up a repeat-booking account for regular placements?

Yes. If you book accommodation regularly for contractors or relocating staff, we can set up a company account. This simplifies future bookings, streamlines invoicing, and means we can prioritise your requirements when availability is tight.

What deposit or guarantee is required?

We typically require a security deposit (usually one week's rent) plus payment for the first period in advance. For established corporate clients with a track record of repeat bookings, we can discuss alternative arrangements such as invoicing without upfront deposit.

Can you accommodate teams or multiple occupants in one property?

Yes. We have properties from 1-bedroom flats up to larger 4-6 bedroom houses that can accommodate teams. For larger groups, we can also arrange multiple nearby properties. Let us know your team size and we'll recommend the best setup.

How quickly can we check in?

Depending on availability, we can often arrange check-in within a few days. For urgent requirements, contact us directly and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Can stays be extended if projects overrun?

In most cases, yes — subject to availability. Let us know as early as possible if you think you'll need to extend and we'll check options.

How is this different from booking through Airbnb?

We're a local Exeter property management company, not a platform. You deal with the same team from enquiry to checkout, with proper invoicing, local support, and no platform fees. See our Airbnb alternatives in Exeter page for more details.
