Serviced apartments

The whole house.
Not a room in
a hotel.

Who stays with us

Built for the way people actually travel.

A hotel room works for a night. Anything longer and you want a kitchen, a washing machine, and a door you can shut. That’s what this is.

Contractors & crews

Five bedrooms means a team of up to eight under one roof, instead of scattered across three travel lodges. Weekly and monthly rates, invoiced to your company.

Groups & celebrations

A whole house to yourselves with a garden and a kitchen big enough to cook in. Manchester is twenty minutes down the road when you want a night out.

Relocating & between homes

Moving, renovating, or waiting on a completion date. Stay a month or three without signing a tenancy.

Family visits

Room for everyone at once, with their own bed and a shared table to sit round. Less pressure than a spare room, more space than a hotel.

Booking sites add their commission to your bill. Come to us directly and that money stays in your pocket instead of theirs.

Your host

Run by a person, not an agency.

I’m Usman. A pharmacist by trade, and I run Oakbee Stays alongside it. I look after the house myself, so when you message you’re talking to the person who holds the keys — not a call centre reading from a script. Need an early check-in, parking for three vans, or a hand finding your way in after a long drive? Just ask.

I’d rather guests felt at home than impressed. Clean sheets, fast broadband, a kitchen you can actually cook in, and everything working the way it should when you walk through the door.

For businesses

Contractor and corporate stays, invoiced properly.

If you’re placing a team on a site around Manchester, Salford or Warrington for weeks at a time, booking platforms make it harder than it needs to be. We’ll agree a rate, send one invoice, and hold the whole house for you.

One invoice

Payment on account with 30-day terms for approved companies. Purchase order references welcome.

Agreed rates

Fixed weekly or monthly pricing for the length of the contract, so your accommodation budget doesn’t move.

A named contact

One phone number, answered by the person who runs the house. Mid-stay cleans and linen changes arranged on request.

Availability

Tell us your dates.

Send your dates and we’ll come back the same day with availability and a price. For stays over two weeks, we’ll quote you a better rate than you’ll find anywhere else.

We usually reply within a few hours. No payment is taken at this stage. Bookings include a temporary card hold in place of a security deposit — released automatically after check-out, and never charged unless there’s damage.

Live booking calendar

Your Hospitable booking widget drops in here once the site is live on HTTPS. Until then, the enquiry form handles bookings.

Good to know

Questions we get asked.

How do I pay?

Once we confirm your dates we’ll send a secure payment link. Payment is taken in full at the time of booking, and your dates are held as soon as it clears. Companies can be invoiced on account instead of paying upfront.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Cancel more than 14 days before check-in and you get a full refund. Within 14 days of arrival we’re not able to refund the booking, as there’s rarely time to re-let the house at that notice. Let us know as early as you can and we’ll always try to help.

Do you take a security deposit?

We place a temporary hold on your card rather than taking a payment. No money leaves your account, nothing is charged, and the hold is released automatically a couple of days after you check out. You’ll be asked to complete this step before arrival, and we’ll only ever charge against it in the event of damage beyond normal wear and tear — with evidence and a written breakdown, as set out in our terms. For most guests it comes and goes without them noticing.

How many people can stay?

Up to eight, across five bedrooms — three doubles and two singles. The house has one bathroom, which is worth bearing in mind if you’re booking for a full group.

Can I stay for a month or longer?

Yes, and it’s usually the best value. Stays of 28 nights or more are priced monthly. Send us your dates and we’ll quote you.

How do I get into Manchester?

The Leigh–Salford–Manchester guided busway runs through Tyldesley, with the V1 and V2 into the city centre and on to Manchester Royal Infirmary. Driving, it’s around twenty minutes via the East Lancs Road. There’s a free park and ride on Astley Street for busway passengers.

Is there parking?

There’s free on-street parking outside and along the road, with no permit needed. If you’re arriving in several vehicles, let us know and we’ll tell you where the quieter stretches are. There’s also a free park and ride on Astley Street if you’d rather leave the car and take the busway into Manchester.

Where exactly is the house?

In Tyldesley, in the Wigan borough of Greater Manchester. The full address and door code are sent once your booking is confirmed.

Can I bring a pet?

We’re not able to accept pets at this property. Assistance dogs are always welcome.

What if we need a late check-out?

Check-out is at 10am. If you need the house beyond that we’ll need to charge for the extra day, since it affects the changeover for the next guests. Ask us and we’ll see what’s possible.

Is smoking allowed?

The house is strictly non-smoking throughout, including vaping. You’re welcome to smoke outside in the garden.
