Coppergate Serviced Accommodation is not a holiday rental company. Our guests are primarily business professionals travelling to the region to work on short and medium-term projects and looking for a semi-permanent home away from home for the duration of their stay. But this doesn’t mean our properties, particularly those in the North East Lincolnshire resort town of Cleethorpes and neighbouring Grimsby, are not popular with guests looking to mix a little business with pleasure and create what is known as a “blended” stay.
What is a blended stay?
A “blended stay” refers to a combination of work and leisure activities during a business trip. Often termed “bleisure” travel, this trend has grown significantly in recent years as more people seek to extend their business trips with personal leisure time, or remote workers choose destinations that offer both work-friendly environments and recreational opportunities.
A new approach to business travel
The concept of a blended stay reflects a shift in how people approach travel. No longer strictly dividing work and leisure time, individuals are now merging their professional responsibilities with the opportunity to explore new places and enjoy various activities. This trend is fueled by the rise of remote work and flexible work schedules, allowing employees to perform their duties from virtually anywhere with a reliable internet connection.
Flexibility
Business travellers are increasingly taking advantage of this flexibility by adding extra days to their trips to explore the local culture, cuisine, and attractions. This opportunity not only enhances their overall travel experience but also helps them unwind and recharge, potentially leading to increased productivity and job satisfaction. Companies also recognise the benefits of bleisure travel, as it can contribute to employee well-being and retention.
Remote workers
Remote workers are also choosing destinations that provide an ideal mix of professional and personal amenities. They look for places with work-friendly spaces, reliable Wi-Fi, comfortable accommodations, and opportunities for outdoor activities, sightseeing, and social interactions. This allows them to maintain their work responsibilities while enjoying a more enriching and diverse lifestyle.
Why is North East Lincolnshire so good for a blended stay?
Boasting miles of beautiful coastline and equally stunning countryside, North East Lincolnshire is the perfect destination for a blended stay for so many reasons. The region’s seaside resorts offer everything you could hope for from the traditional British seaside experience. But it’s not just fish and chips, amusement arcades, and donkey rides. For those looking for a more active break, the area’s beaches offer an incredible opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of watersports and beach activities – from paddle boarding to coldwater swimming and kite surfing; there’s something for everyone from chilled out and sociable to wild and gnarly. Away from the coast, the countryside is perfect for days out exploring quaint villages, visiting countryside pubs, or enjoying beautiful rural walks and bike rides.
Why is Coppergate Serviced Accommodation perfect for Bleisure Travellers?
There are so many reasons why Coppergate Serviced Accommodation offers a more comfortable and flexible choice for bleisure travellers than traditional hotel or guest house accommodation. These include:
- Work-friendly Amenities: Our serviced accommodations have high-speed internet and comfortable, private spaces, making it easy for guests to stay productive.
- Personalised Experience: Guests have more privacy and control over their schedules, allowing them to balance work and leisure without the constraints of hotel operations. No more being interrupted by housekeeping. We work around your schedule.
- Spacious Living Areas: Unlike standard hotel rooms, our serviced accommodation properties provide separate living, sleeping, and dining areas, making it feel more like a home and less like a temporary stay.
- Storage Space: If you want to bring a bike, your golf clubs, a paddle board, or kite surfing equipment, we’ve got the space to store it.
- Private Parking: No more lugging heavy cases, bags, or sports equipment to the far end of a car park or insecure on-street parking spot. Your car is right outside your accommodation on your own driveway.
- Kitchen Facilities: A fully equipped kitchen allows guests to prepare their own meals, offering the flexibility to maintain a routine and save on dining costs. Want to pack a picnic for a day out? Having access to a kitchen makes this much easier.
- Laundry Facilities: Having your own laundry facilities adds convenience, especially for longer stays (no more living out of a suitcase full of dirty clothes). This is especially useful if you plan on spending a few days on the beach or need to wash activewear after exercise.
- Group and Family Friendly: Our serviced accommodation properties are ideal for groups or families travelling together, as they can share a larger space rather than booking multiple hotel rooms.
- Value for Money: For extended stays, Coppergate’s serviced accommodations are often more cost-effective than hotels, providing better value with amenities like kitchens and living spaces included in the price.
