How Serviced Accommodation Supports Contractors' Wellbeing During Long Stays

When you're a contractor working away from home for extended periods, your well-being should be a priority. Being away from family, friends, and familiar surroundings can sometimes take a toll on both your physical and mental health. That's where serviced accommodation comes in as an invaluable choice. Unlike traditional hotel rooms, serviced accommodation provides a home-like environment that promotes comfort, flexibility, and a sense of normalcy. At BettoAS, we’re dedicated to ensuring contractors have a stress-free, restful, and rejuvenating stay in Hull. Here’s how serviced accommodation can help support your wellbeing while you’re away for work.

1. A Comfortable, Homely Environment

One of the key aspects that set serviced accommodation apart from hotels is the environment it provides. While a hotel room often feels like just a place to sleep, serviced accommodation offers much more—it provides a home.

At BettoAS, each of our properties is designed to feel warm and welcoming, with a focus on comfort and convenience. From soft, plump pillows and cozy mattresses to fully equipped kitchens and spacious living areas, our accommodations offer a relaxing environment where you can unwind after a long workday.

A homely environment has a huge impact on mental health. Being able to walk into a space that feels like your own gives you the opportunity to relax, recharge, and de-stress, which is crucial when you’re away from home for long periods of time.

2. More Space to Unwind and Work

When working in a hotel, you’re often confined to a small room with limited space for activities beyond sleep and work. In contrast, serviced accommodation provides ample space to move around. Whether you're working at a desk, preparing meals, or simply lounging after a busy day, the larger and more flexible spaces in serviced accommodation help promote a better work-life balance.

At BettoAS, our properties include separate living, dining, and sleeping areas, allowing you to create distinct zones for relaxation and work. Having designated spaces for both productivity and leisure helps create a healthy routine, enabling you to be more productive during work hours and to unwind during your downtime.

3. The Freedom to Cook and Eat Healthy

Eating out every day can not only get expensive but can also take a toll on your health. Whether it's the temptation of unhealthy takeout options or simply not having access to home-cooked meals, long-term hotel stays can make it challenging to maintain a healthy diet.

Serviced accommodation offers the freedom and convenience of cooking your own meals. At BettoAS, all of our properties come with fully equipped kitchens, allowing you to prepare nutritious meals whenever you choose. This means you can stick to a diet that suits your needs, avoid unhealthy takeout options, and even cook comfort foods that remind you of home.

Eating home-cooked meals can have a direct impact on your energy levels and overall health, helping you feel more balanced and motivated throughout your stay.

4. Privacy and Peace of Mind

When you’re staying in a hotel, you’re often sharing common spaces with other guests, and the lack of privacy can sometimes feel draining, especially after a long day of work. Serviced accommodation, on the other hand, provides you with a self-contained space, offering a higher level of privacy and peace of mind.

At BettoAS, our properties are fully private homes, so you don’t have to worry about noisy neighbours or interruptions from hotel staff. You can control your environment, from how you organize your space to when you relax. Having this level of privacy is not only comforting but also vital for your mental well-being. It allows you to set your own routine, unwind in peace, and enjoy your personal time without outside distractions.

5. Flexibility to Live Your Own Routine

Hotels often have rigid schedules. You may have to deal with set check-in/check-out times, meals at certain hours, or restricted access to facilities. This can sometimes be frustrating, especially if your working hours or personal habits don't fit within those constraints.

Serviced accommodation gives you the freedom to live on your own schedule. With a fully-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, and private living spaces, you can set your own meal times, laundry routines, and relaxation periods. This flexibility helps you maintain your usual routine, which is vital for both productivity and mental well-being. For contractors, the ability to manage your time effectively without being restricted by hotel schedules can make a big difference.

6. Convenience and Comfort to Combat Stress

The daily stress of being away from home can add up, especially when your accommodation lacks the comforts you’re used to. When you're working long hours on a project, coming back to a comfortable, well-maintained space makes all the difference.

At BettoAS, we ensure our properties are well-maintained and stocked with all the amenities you need. From fast Wi-Fi for staying in touch with family or handling work emails, to comfy furnishings and well-organized spaces, we take care of the details so you can focus on your work and well-being. Knowing that everything is taken care of gives you peace of mind, reducing stress and helping you recharge.

7. Access to Local Amenities and Health Facilities

Maintaining physical health is just as important as mental well-being. Many serviced accommodation properties, including those from BettoAS, are located close to gyms, parks, and other health facilities, so you can keep up with your fitness routine during your stay.

Having access to nearby parks like East Park for walks or runs, or fitness centers for workouts, makes it easier to stay active. This not only boosts your energy but also contributes to a better work-life balance, as exercise helps reduce stress and improve overall mood.

Additionally, Hull has a range of shops and markets for stocking up on healthy groceries, so you’ll have everything you need to maintain a balanced diet during your stay.

8. A Sense of Community and Support

While being away from home can be isolating, serviced accommodation can also help create a sense of community and connection. For contractors, it’s important to feel supported and connected to the local area. Serviced accommodation providers like BettoAS can help you integrate into the local community by recommending local attractions, restaurants, and activities that can improve your stay.

Our team is always available to offer support and assistance with anything you might need, whether it’s information about local services or advice on places to visit. Knowing that you have someone to turn to for assistance adds to your overall sense of comfort and well-being.

9. Mental Health Benefits of Stability

One of the major challenges of working away from home for long periods is the lack of stability. Moving between hotels or temporary accommodations can cause unnecessary stress, disrupting your routine and leaving you feeling unsettled.

Serviced accommodation, on the other hand, provides stability. When you book with BettoAS, you know you have a consistent, comfortable space throughout your stay. This stability creates a positive environment where you can relax, recharge, and focus on your work, ultimately supporting your mental health in a meaningful way.
