Appleby-in-Westmorland, North West • England
The Eden Valley market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland sits between the Lake District fells and the North Pennines in Cumbria, North West England, in the CA postcode area and right on the A66. It's known for its June horse fair and its station on the Settle to Carlisle line, and Penrith is about thirteen miles west. KrewBase houses contractor crews in whole serviced properties around the town, bills, Wi-Fi and parking all in, one monthly invoice to your company.
Appleby is built of warm Eden sandstone: handsome terraces rising from the River Eden, traditional semis in the back lanes, and older farmworkers' cottages in villages like Brough and Long Marton. What crews want is straightforward — decent heating, a drive or yard for the van, and a kitchen with space for more than one at a time. We filter for exactly that, and we're honest about a cottage that looks lovely but parks nowhere.
Crews based here cover a wide rural patch: farm and estate work through the valley, rail maintenance along the Settle to Carlisle line, construction and repairs in the market towns, and utility and energy jobs heading west towards the fells and east towards the Pennines. The A66 corridor brings its own logistics and road maintenance work, and the summer season adds tourism jobs across the Eden Valley. A central base saves the daily trek from Penrith or further.
The A66 runs past the town: Penrith and the M6 are about thirteen miles west, Brough and the Pennine routes head east, and Kirkby Stephen sits nine miles south-east. Appleby station on the Settle to Carlisle line gives a rail option towards Carlisle, Settle and Leeds when a crew member needs it. There's no urban rush hour to speak of, but distances are long, so we shortlist by measured drive time to your site rather than guesswork on a map.
We let whole houses and flats, never rooms. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in our name and covered in the rent; Wi-Fi is live before check-in and parking is checked against the actual vehicles. Five or more in the crew means two bathrooms, and weekly cleaning with fresh linen comes as standard. Maintenance is ours to chase. Your company gets one invoice a month paid by card — no booking fees, no minimum crew 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.
Two working hours is standard. Send the site address, crew size, dates and vehicles, and we'll come back with vetted whole houses in and around the town, ranked by drive time. Early June fills up around the fair, so flag it if your dates touch that week.
The town itself plus Brough, Long Marton, Kirkby Stephen, Crackenthorpe and the Eden Valley villages, and west towards Penrith when the site sits that way. We rank by drive time from site, not by parish boundaries, so tell us where the job actually is.
Everything sits in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so the lads are online from night one, and if anything fails afterwards it's reported to us and we arrange the repair — no chasing from your side.
Cost, mostly — a whole house for a crew of four or five usually undercuts separate hotel rooms within a fortnight — but practicality too: one kitchen, a washing machine, parking for the van, and nobody split across floors. Crews on long jobs simply live better in a house.
We do. Anything that breaks is reported to KrewBase and we arrange the repair with the landlord and our contractors, aiming for a 24-hour response on urgent items. Your crew reports a fault once and gets on with the job — the chasing is our job.
Site address, headcount, dates and vehicles cover it; shift pattern helps with check-in timing. With those we'll send a shortlist of whole houses with drive times, usually within two working hours, and we'll be honest about anything seasonal that affects the stay.
