Who books
The guests your home would host.
The people who stay in the homes we run are mostly at work all day. They want a quiet street, a kitchen they can cook in and a home that is clean when they arrive.
A guest might be here for a week of commissioning work or three months on a placement. Either way they want the same things: space, quiet and a kitchen.
The right home
What suits working guests.
A home does not need to be large or new. It needs to be self-contained, well kept and easy to live in.
- A layout that gives each guest some privacy
- Good repair, with no major works outstanding
- A lender and insurer who allow the use
- A whole house or a self-contained flat
- Furnished, or ready to furnish
Your options
Management, a company let or a quiet sale.
We manage it
We run the home for working guests: the bookings, the guests, the cleaning and a monthly statement. You keep ownership and the income, less our fee.

Hereford sits within Herefordshire Council. If a home is used for short stays, the planning position and council tax are part of the conversation from the start.
The homes Maine Stays runs today are in Coventry and in Brierley Hill, each one named on our site.
