Is a serviced home better than a hotel for a Gloucester business trip?
A serviced home is better than a hotel for business trips of three nights or more, or when two colleagues travel together. A hotel is simpler for a single overnight stop.
Our boutique penthouse, for example, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms for £100 a night. Two colleagues each get a private bathroom, for less than two hotel rooms. For crews and project teams, see our guide to contractor accommodation in Gloucester.
How do companies book business accommodation with Esho Stays?
Companies book by phone, email or WhatsApp, and we send a quote and booking confirmation for approval. Booking direct avoids platform fees and gives you one contact for changes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I check in late after a train or long drive?
Yes. All our Gloucester homes use self check-in, with a door code or lockbox, from 3pm on the day you arrive. You can arrive late in the evening without waiting for anyone. We send arrival instructions and parking details before your stay.
Can my company be invoiced for business accommodation?
Yes. We invoice companies directly, with the company name, the traveller, the property address and the dates. Tell us if you need a purchase order number or cost code on the invoice, and we will add it. We can also invoice weekly or monthly on longer stays.
Is the Wi-Fi good enough for video calls?
Every Esho Stays home in Gloucester has high-speed Wi-Fi suitable for video calls and remote work. If anything goes wrong with the connection on your first night, our No Fuss First Night Guarantee means we refund that night while we fix it.
Do you offer rates for regular business visitors?
Yes. If you or your colleagues visit Gloucester regularly, ask us about a rate for repeat or longer stays. We can also keep a note of your preferred home and arrival details, so each booking is quicker and you return to a home you already know.
