Six ensuite double bedrooms for your whole crew, plus a big kitchen and lounge to unwind after a shift. It’s around 10 to 12 mins to Rolls-Royce Sinfin and 8 to 10 mins to Alstom, with quick access to the A38, A52 and M1. Up to 20% off long term stays.



The Space:

Built for the working week, this 6-bed apartment takes up a full floor in Derby city centre (DE1) and sleeps up to 12. It’s set up as contractor accommodation for engineers, rail teams, site crews and project workers who need somewhere practical to come back to after long days on site.



Every bedroom has a double bed and its own ensuite. That means early starts don’t turn into a queue for the shower, and everyone gets proper rest between shifts. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is big enough for the whole team to cook, eat and catch up at the end of the day.



Location: Derby City Centre



The apartment is a short drive from Derby’s biggest engineering, manufacturing, rail and regeneration sites, and you can still walk into the city centre in the evening.

For fresh air, Darley Park and Markeaton Park are close by, and the riverside paths along the Derwent are good for a walk or a run. Further out, Kedleston Hall, the Peak District, Chatsworth House and Alton Towers are all within an hour’s drive.
