Short term accommodation

My parents unfortunately had a fire in their house at the weekend and will probably be homeless for the next three (or so) months, whilst they have the damage repaired. Do anyone know of any short term accommodation, which is fully furnished that may be available? Either a holiday cottage, or a flat designed to accommodate business people in the area on short term assignments, would be ideal. Somewhere near Hertford or Ware and which isn't too grotty! Any ideas much appreciated.

Check what the insurance will cover. They might be able to become long term hotel dwellers. A friend of mine lived at the Salisbury in similar circumstances.

I think there are a number of flats in the area that are not attracting renters. It might be worth contacting the local agencies, explaining the situation and requirement and asking if they have any properties that may accept a shorter let than 6 months. Also, if it is to be paid by the insurance company then maybe they could get a 6 month let paid for even though they only need a shorter period. This would be cheaper for the insurance comapny than paying for a hotel.
