Barnsley · South Yorkshire

Come home to a house, not a hotel room.

Hearthside Stays looks after two self-contained homes in Barnsley town centre. We specialise in contractor stays — parking, kitchen, washing facilities and a quiet night's sleep — and we welcome anyone who wants the same.

The black front door at 52 St George's Road, Barnsley

St George's House

Number 52. Keys ready.

Free parking at both homes

Full kitchen, not a kettle

Wi-Fi in every room

Self check-in from 3pm

Built for the job

Contractor stays without the travel-lodge compromise.

If you are on a site around Barnsley, Sheffield or the Dearne Valley, you want somewhere you can park, cook, wash kit and sleep. That is the brief for both homes.

Park the van

Both homes have free on-site parking. No circling for a space after a twelve-hour shift.

Cook, don't queue

A full kitchen in each property so you can eat properly, pack lunches and keep the weekly food bill down.

Wash your kit

St George's House has a washing machine. Come back in clean clothes without a trip to the launderette.

A desk that works

Wi-Fi throughout and a work desk at the house for timesheets, drawings and the odd Teams call.

Stay the week

These are homes, not hotel rooms. Weekly and longer contractor stays are exactly what we set them up for.

Quiet when you need it

A side street by the town centre, and a calm apartment development. No stag parties. No shared corridors.

On the doorstep of town

St George's is about a 10–15 minute walk to Barnsley Interchange, the Alhambra and the shops. Caistor sits a little further out, still handy for Locke Park and the ring road.

Easy for the M1

Junction 37 is the local motorway junction. Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster are all a straightforward drive for the working week.

Food when you need it

Cook at the house, or walk into town for Morrisons, takeaways and a sit-down meal. You are not stuck on a retail park.

Two homes

Stay at St George's or Caistor.

Both are self-contained, smoke-free and set up for a proper stay. Book the dates on the home you want, or enquire if you need a run of weeks.

The welcome

Milk in the fridge. Tea on the side.

Guests mention the extras more than anything: fresh milk, teas, coffees and a few treats waiting when you walk in. We keep the houses tidy, heated and stocked so you can get your boots off and stop thinking about logistics.

Laundry at St George's so kit does not pile up

From people who stayed

Clean, warm, and looked after.

“Very well presented property with several welcome extras such as fresh milk, teas and coffees and a selection of treats. Easy walking distance of Barnsley town centre in a quiet street.”
Norman · St George's House · Guest

“Very clean, spacious and well-heated even in very cold weather. Comfortable bed, and well-equipped kitchen. Quiet environment despite being in a development of flats. Generous welcome goodies.”
Rosalind · Caistor Apartment · Guest

“Very clean and spacious. The host left us gifts and responded when I initially had problems with the Wi-Fi. Two bedrooms upstairs with a little courtyard out the back. Would definitely stay here again.”
Anthony · St George's House · Guest

“Perfect Christmas spent with family who live 5 minutes away. Nice little touches. Home from home.”
