Aviemore, Scotland • Scotland
Aviemore is the best-known town in the Cairngorms, sitting on the A9 in Scotland's PH postcode area, around 30 miles south of Inverness with a rail station on the Highland main line. KrewBase houses crews working across the Highlands from whole serviced properties here — every bill in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vans — with one monthly invoice going to your firm.
Aviemore grew up as a resort, so its housing is a genuinely useful mix: timber chalets and Scandinavian-style houses from the sixties boom, modern estates of family semis and detached homes, and older cottages in the original village streets. For crews we lean to the modern estates and solid detached houses — proper central heating for Cairngorm winters, driveways that take vans and trailers, and living space that does not feel like a holiday let. Every property is viewed in person and checked for the things that matter on a job: boiler condition, hot water capacity, kitchen space and where the vehicles actually sit.
Aviemore's location makes it a natural base: tourism infrastructure keeps joiners, electricians and maintenance teams busy across the resort estates and activity sites for much of the year, forestry and land management runs across the surrounding glens, and the A9 corridor itself generates steady work from dualling-related contracts to utilities and grid connections. Healthcare teams cover the area's clinics, and construction crews pass through on housing and public-sector jobs around Badenoch and Strathspey. Jobs here are often seasonal or staged, which suits monthly serviced housing far better than a fixed tenancy.
Aviemore sits squarely on the A9: Inverness is around 30 miles north, roughly 40 minutes, while Kingussie, Newtonmore and the other Badenoch villages string out to the south. The railway station is on the Highland main line from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Inverness, so crew members can arrive by train when it suits. For sites off the main road — a hydro scheme, a forestry block, a hill estate — we shortlist strictly by drive time, because in the Cairngorms the map distance and the road distance are rarely the same thing.
You get the whole property for the duration of the job. Gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband all stand in our name and are included in the rent, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in — heating and connectivity are checked seriously here, because Highland winters are not the place for either to fail. Parking is matched to your actual vehicles, and crews of five or more get a second bathroom as standard.
The weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, and any maintenance is our call. Your firm receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay — the same terms whether the job runs a month or the best part of a year. Extend or finish early with a phone call; there are no penalty clauses in either direction, and the crew never gets involved in the paperwork.
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.
A shortlist normally comes back within two working hours of your brief — site location, headcount, start date. Aviemore has more stock than most Highland towns because of its resort history, but it also has seasonal competition, so briefing us early gets you the strongest shortlist and the best-placed house for the commute.
The modern estates and the solid detached houses north and east of the centre suit crews best: driveways, good heating and space for kit. We avoid anything that is really a holiday let in disguise — weekly-changeover furniture does not survive a six-month job. Every shortlist entry has been viewed and judged as a crew house, not as a booking.
Yes, and we check it properly: you tell us the vehicle count and sizes, and we only shortlist properties where they fit — driveways on the estates, or verified space for trailers where the job needs them. Snow and Highland winters are factored in too; a steep ungritted lane is noted on the shortlist, not discovered at 5am.
Everything is in the monthly figure: gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband are in KrewBase's name from day one. The crew sees no bills, your firm sees one monthly invoice, and there is no end-of-stay reconciliation to argue over. The quoted rent is the real cost, full stop.
Comfortably. A whole-property let means the team controls light, noise and mealtimes — nobody is tiptoeing around a hotel's housekeeping schedule. We can time the weekly clean around shifts, and having the place to yourselves means the night crew sleeps properly whatever the hour, which matters on safety-critical work.
We extend with a phone call. There is no penalty clause and no renegotiation — we agree the new end date, confirm the property is still available, and the same monthly invoice simply continues. If a very long overrun needs a different arrangement we will flag it early, but in practice most extensions are sorted in a single call.

If Aviemore is short on the right house for your crew, Inverness is the obvious back-up, roughly 25 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Inverness page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
