Abbotsham, South West • England
Abbotsham is a North Devon village a couple of miles west of Bideford, in the EX postcode area, just off the A39 Atlantic Highway. KrewBase houses contractor crews in whole serviced properties here — bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, one monthly invoice to your company. It is a quiet base for contracts across Bideford, Barnstaple and the coast towards Clovelly and Hartland, with the Torridge estuary a short run away.
Abbotsham's stock is village Devon: stone and rendered cottages along lanes off the A39, with modern bungalows and houses on the village edges. Crews fit best in the edge-of-village houses with parking and gardens, because narrow lanes were never drawn for works vans. We walk every property before it is shortlisted, checking vehicle space, broadband speed and bathroom count, and anything that fails the vehicle-space check is dropped before you ever see it.
Construction and housing schemes around Bideford and Barnstaple, school and healthcare refurbishments, and agricultural and coastal infrastructure work keep crews moving through North Devon through the year. Abbotsham works as a base for contracts between Barnstaple, Bideford and the far coast towards Hartland, and we shortlist by real drive time from each site rather than a guessed postcode radius. Seasonal farm and countryside work inland adds further demand through the year.
The A39 Atlantic Highway runs past the village towards Bideford, Barnstaple and on into Cornwall, and the A386 links Barnstaple with the interior. Bideford is minutes away for shops, the old bridge and the Torridge crossing towards Appledore and Instow. Sites across North Devon are a straightforward run, and we match housing to the daily commute so early starts across the peninsula stay predictable.
The crew takes the whole property, and every bill — gas, electric, water, council tax, TV licence and broadband — runs in our name within one rent figure. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, houses sleeping five or more come with two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place decent. Maintenance is ours to fix. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimums.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Send the site address, crew size, start date and stay length, and a shortlist of checked whole properties normally comes back within two working hours. Every option is verified for parking, broadband and bathrooms, so housing can be confirmed the same day the contract lands.
We shortlist across Abbotsham plus Bideford, Northam, Westward Ho! and towards Clovelly and Hartland, with Barnstaple-side contracts handled by shifting the search east along the A39. Each house is measured by real drive time from your site gate, whatever direction the job sits.
Yes — the edge-of-village houses and bungalows we favour have driveways for two or three vans. We confirm dimensions against your actual vehicles before check-in and steer clear of the older lanes where a works van would be a daily headache, so kit stays safe and accessible.
Gas, electric, water, council tax, TV licence and broadband all run in our name inside the one rent figure, and Wi-Fi is speed-tested before the crew moves in. The weekly clean with fresh linen is included too — important in a rural property where nobody wants supplier call-outs on top of a day's work.
Company invoicing is standard practice. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, Wi-Fi and cleaning paid by card, addressed to your accounts team, with no booking fees and nothing for the crew to settle personally. It keeps the paperwork clean from the first week to the last.
No minimums at all. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months, and there are no booking fees either way. You pay for the property rather than per head, which usually beats hotel costs once meals and laundry are added in.

Abbotsham sits about 38 miles from Exeter. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Exeter page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
