Allington, South West • England
Allington is a village on the western edge of Bridport in Dorset, in the DT postcode area, a short hop from the A35 and the Jurassic Coast at West Bay. KrewBase houses contractor crews in whole serviced properties here — bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, one monthly invoice to your company. It is a practical base for contracts across west Dorset, from Dorchester down the coast to Lyme Regis and inland towards Beaminster.
Allington merges into Bridport, so the stock runs from older stone cottages near the River Brit to post-war semis and newer estates on the town's west side. Crews do best in the semis and estate houses: driveways for vans, gardens for kit, proper kitchens and none of the parking battles of the old town. Narrow historic lanes get filtered out, and parking, broadband and bathrooms are confirmed before anything is shortlisted.
Housing development around Bridport and Dorchester, school and healthcare refurbishments, coastal and marine work around West Bay and Lyme Regis, and agricultural infrastructure keep crews based along the A35 corridor. Allington suits contracts anywhere between Dorchester and Honiton, and we shortlist each property by drive time from the actual site gate rather than a radius that ignores the shape of the coast.
The A35 runs past Bridport towards Dorchester and Honiton, and West Bay with its Jurassic Coast harbour is minutes south of the village. Dorchester is roughly twenty minutes east for the county town and its rail link to London Waterloo. Sites along the coast or inland around Beaminster and Crewkerne are a short run, and we match housing to that daily commute so the crew's morning is never the slow part of the job.
You get the whole property, not rooms, and every account — gas, electric, water, council tax, TV licence, broadband — is held in our name inside one rent figure. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, five-plus crews get two bathrooms, and the weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the house presentable. Maintenance comes to us. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay.
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.
Site address, headcount, start date and stay length are all we need, and a shortlist of checked whole properties usually returns within two working hours. Every option is verified for parking, broadband and bathrooms, so the crew's housing can be confirmed the same day the job is signed.
Yes — Allington and Bridport are effectively one search for us, and we shortlist across West Bay, Symondsbury, Bothenhampton and towards Dorchester and Lyme Regis depending on where the site sits. Each house is judged by real drive time from your site gate, coastal traffic included.
Yes. We favour the post-war semis and estate houses with driveways for two or three vans, and we confirm dimensions against your actual vehicles before check-in. Old-town cottages with on-street parking rarely suit a works crew, so they rarely appear on our shortlists.
Everything runs in our name within the one rent figure: gas, electric, water, council tax, TV licence and broadband, plus the weekly clean and fresh linen. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before the crew moves in, so remote paperwork and evening streaming work from day one without supplier calls.
That is how we work as standard. Rent, bills, Wi-Fi and cleaning arrive as a single monthly invoice paid by card, addressed to your accounts team. There are no booking fees, and nothing for the crew to pay out of pocket or reclaim through expenses at the end of the contract.
We do. Boiler, plumbing, locks or appliances — the crew reports it to us and our contractors put it right, usually the same or next working day. Nobody on site is expected to play landlord, and repairs never show up as extras on your monthly invoice.

Allington sits about 34 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.
