Arisaig, Scotland • Scotland
Arisaig is a small west-Highland village on the A830 Road to the Isles, in Scotland's PH postcode area, roughly 45 miles west of Fort William with ferries to the Small Isles sailing from its pier. KrewBase houses crews working across this part of the Highlands in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, parking checked — so your firm gets one monthly invoice and your crew gets a proper base, however remote the job.
Arisaig itself is a handful of streets between the sea and the A830, so crew housing in this corner of Lochaber usually means cottages, bungalows and a few modern houses in Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig, with more stock again in Fort William. What works here is simple: solid heating for Highland weather, a kitchen that can feed a crew, and parking that takes real vehicles on a road where everything arrives by van. We view every property in person and are honest about the drive — in this part of the Highlands, the right house ten miles away beats the wrong one next door.
Crews come west along the A830 for a spread of work: tourism infrastructure and accommodation projects that run from spring through autumn, harbour and marine maintenance around Mallaig, forestry and land-management jobs on the surrounding estates, and utilities and grid work along the peninsula roads. There is also steady construction and trades work in the villages as housing is upgraded. Whatever brings the crew, the common thread is duration — these are weeks-to-months jobs, which is where serviced monthly housing earns its keep over nightly rates.
Everything here runs on the A830. Fort William, the nearest full-service town, is roughly 45 miles east — about an hour's drive — with the A82 from there south towards Glasgow. Mallaig is ten minutes north of Arisaig for the ferries and harbour, and the Skye ferry sails from there too. Arisaig station sits on the West Highland Line, the train from Glasgow, for crew members travelling without a vehicle. For sites off the main road we shortlist strictly by drive time, because distance on a map means little when the last eight miles are single-track.
The whole property is yours for the job: gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband all in our name and inside the quoted rent. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in — not a given in the Highlands, which is exactly why we test it — and parking is matched to your vehicles, with a second bathroom sought for crews of five or more.
A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and maintenance calls come to us, not to the crew on the tools. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum stay — a short job gets the same service as a long one. If the job runs long, extending is a phone call, and because the let is ours rather than a landlord's side-earner, there is nobody to negotiate with but us.
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.
Yes, though the shortlist usually reaches beyond the village itself to Morar, Mallaig and, for longer jobs, Fort William. We shortlist by drive time from your actual site, not by which dot on the map the house is nearest to, and we tell you honestly how long each drive is before you choose.
Give us the site location, headcount and start date and a shortlist normally follows within two working hours. Stock in this part of Lochaber is thin, so the earlier you brief us the better — but we have turned around urgent Highland placements within days when the job demanded it.
We only put forward properties where it is, and we speed-test it before check-in rather than trusting the listing. Where a property's connection is weak we say so and look for one with a proper line or a proven fixed-wireless setup, because a crew working away needs real broadband, not a promise.
Everything is: gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband stand in KrewBase's name and are included in the rent we quote. Nobody on site sees a utility bill, there is nothing to reconcile at the end of the stay, and the monthly invoice your firm receives is the whole cost — no extras clause lurking in it.
Arisaig station is on the West Highland Line from Glasgow, and we shortlist properties within reach of it where that matters. Otherwise crew members travel up with the van or share lifts, and we make sure the shortlist accounts for however your people are actually getting to the property before anyone books anything.
KrewBase does. We arrange the tradesperson, the access and the follow-up, and because the let is ours there is no chasing a holiday-home owner across a time zone. Remote jobs are exactly why our maintenance is set up the way it is — the crew reports a fault to us and gets on with the paid work instead.
