A Cookstown house that earns from working guests.
Working guests book differently from holidaymakers. They need beds for a whole crew, parking for vans and a kitchen that gets used. A Cookstown house with those can earn from them.
Guests on a job
Guests on a job in Tyrone
These are guests with a job to get to in the morning. They want a good night's sleep, a quick breakfast and parking for the van outside, not a city-centre view.
Companies book homes for their crews because it keeps the team together and the travel short. The booking is made by the employer, so the guest is there for work from the first night.
What suits
Getting a Cookstown home crew-ready
A house that is safe, warm, well lit and easy to check into will suit working guests. Self check-in helps crews who arrive late after a long day on the road.
Whole houses with two to five bedrooms suit crews best, especially with a driveway or off-street parking. Separate beds for everyone on the booking matter more than a feature wall.
Beds come first: singles or twins for crews who would rather not share, with enough of them for the whole team. A sofa bed does not count as a bed on a working booking.

What needs to be in place in Cookstown
Planning can matter too. Outside London there is no fixed night limit for short stays in England; whether a change of use needs permission is a question of fact and degree for the council.
For a leasehold flat the lease decides what is allowed. It is worth reading the restrictions before anything else, because they can rule a flat in or out.
