Ardrishaig, Scotland • Scotland
Ardrishaig sits at the western end of the Crinan Canal where it meets Loch Gilp, on Scotland's Argyll coast in the PA postcode area, two miles from Lochgilphead and the A83. KrewBase places working crews in whole serviced houses and flats here, with gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband all in our name — so your firm gets one tidy monthly invoice and your crew gets a proper base near site.
Ardrishaig itself is a small canal-side settlement, so crew housing here usually means the solid mix of terraces, semis and bungalows found in neighbouring Lochgilphead and along the A83 corridor. These are practical, well-built homes — most with gardens, off-street parking or at least space on a quiet street for a van. For crews working in mid-Argyll we favour properties in Lochgilphead, where the shops, fuel and A83 junctions are, and check every place in person for damp, heating and a kitchen that can take a week's cooking.
Crews come to this part of Argyll and Bute for construction and housing development in the towns along the A83 and A816, for ongoing maintenance of the canals, piers and harbours that the west coast depends on, and for energy and grid work scattered across the peninsulas. Forestry and land management bring their own teams, and there is steady seasonal work in tourism infrastructure between spring and autumn. Jobs here are rarely in one place for long, which is exactly why flexible monthly housing beats a fixed lease or nightly B&B rates.
The A83 is the spine of the Kintyre peninsula, running north-west from Ardrishaig towards Tarbert and the Kennacraig ferry, and north-east through Lochgilphead towards Oban. The A816 branches off for Oban at a junction a few miles north of town, so most mid-Argyll sites are reachable within the hour. For crews working further out — a pier job, a forestry site, a substation on a peninsula road — we shortlist by drive time from the site, not by town name, because in Argyll ten miles of single-track road can take longer than thirty on the A83.
You get the whole property for the duration of the job, with gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband all standing in KrewBase's name and included in the rent. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in — worth saying twice in Argyll, where connections vary street by street — and parking is matched to your actual vehicles, with crews of five or more getting two bathrooms wherever possible.
A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, and any maintenance is handled by us, not by whoever is on earlies that week. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no hidden extras. If the job slips, extending the stay is a phone call, and finishing early is equally straightforward — the invoice simply stops with notice.
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 location, crew size and start date and we will normally return a shortlist within two working hours. Because Ardrishaig is small, that shortlist usually draws on houses in Lochgilphead and along the A83 corridor, chosen by drive time to your site rather than distance as the crow flies.
The village is compact, but the surrounding area — especially Lochgilphead two miles away — has exactly the kind of terraces, semis and bungalows that suit crews. We shortlist across mid-Argyll and tell you honestly where each property sits relative to the site, so you are never paying for a view you did not ask for.
Yes. We record the number and size of your vehicles at enquiry stage and only put forward properties where they genuinely fit — a driveway or forecourt for preference. Single-track villages are no problem as long as the house itself has turning space, and we check that on the viewing before you commit.
Everything is: gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are in our name and inside the quoted rent. Your crew will not see a single utility bill, the Wi-Fi is tested before they arrive, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice, with no reconciliation surprises at the end of the stay.
We do. Maintenance calls come to KrewBase and we arrange the tradesperson and the access — your crew just keeps working. Because the let is ours rather than a private landlord's holiday agreement, repairs happen on a contractor timetable, not a callback list, and the cost never lands on your firm.
No minimum crew size and no minimum stay. A two-person team covering a fortnight's job is as welcome as a larger crew on a six-month contract, and the service — bills in, weekly clean, one monthly invoice — is identical either way. Extensions, as ever in Argyll, are handled with a phone call.
