Avoch, Scotland • Scotland
Avoch is a fishing village on the Black Isle, in Scotland's IV postcode area, sitting on the A832 between Fortrose and Muir of Ord, about nine miles north of Inverness. KrewBase houses crews working across the Black Isle and the Highlands from whole serviced properties here and in the surrounding villages — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, and one monthly invoice for your firm.
Avoch curls around its harbour with a mix of old fisher cottages, stone villas and more modern bungalows and houses on the edges of the village. Fisher cottages have charm but often mean tight stairs and no parking, so for crews we usually look to the modern bungalows and the stock in neighbouring Fortrose and Rosemarkie — single-level living, driveways, and kitchens built for daily life rather than weekends. Every property is viewed in person before it reaches your shortlist, and we are straight about trade-offs: the characterful cottage by the harbour or the warm bungalow with the driveway, never a guess between the two.
Crews work across the Black Isle and the wider Highlands from this side of the firth: construction and housing development in the villages and around Inverness's northern edge, utilities and grid maintenance across the peninsula, forestry on the higher ground, and marine and harbour upkeep around the fishing ports. Inverness itself, under half an hour away, generates plenty of overflow work — NHS sites, schools, logistics — where a crew would rather live out here in a house with parking than in a city street without.
The A832 runs through the village linking Fortrose and Muir of Ord, and from there the A9 and A835 fan out towards Inverness, Dingwall and the north — Inverness is about nine miles and 20 minutes. Inverness airport sits just east of the city for crews flying in, and the Kessock Bridge crossing is quick outside rush hour. Chanonry Point and Fortrose are minutes away for any job around the firth, and the Tore roundabout puts the whole north within reach. As always, we shortlist by drive time from your actual site, so a crew working around Dingwall is not sleeping in Avoch on principle.
The whole house or bungalow is yours for the job. Gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband all stand in KrewBase's name and are included in the rent, the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before your crew's first night, and parking is checked against the real vehicles arriving. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms wherever the stock allows, and everything sits inside one quoted monthly figure — no deposits, no extras, no surprises at the end of the job.
A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, and maintenance calls go to us rather than to whoever is on earlies. Your firm receives one monthly invoice, paid by card — no booking fees, no deposits, no minimum crew or stay. Extending or finishing early is a phone call, whichever way the job moves, and the crew never has to think about the housing contract at all.
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.
Within two working hours of getting the site location, crew size and start date is typical. Avoch village itself is small, so the shortlist usually spreads across the Black Isle — Fortrose, Rosemarkie, Muir of Ord and beyond — ranked by drive time to site so the commute stays sensible whichever property you pick.
Yes, the whole Black Isle is within reach: Fortrose and Rosemarkie minutes away, Muir of Ord and Conon Bridge to the west, and across the firth into Inverness itself if the job demands it. Wherever the house lands, the service is identical — bills in, weekly clean, one monthly invoice.
All of them. Gas, electricity, water, council tax and broadband stand in KrewBase's name and are inside the quoted monthly figure, with the broadband speed-tested before check-in. Nobody on site sees a utility bill, and your firm gets one invoice that matches the quote — no reconciliation, no surprises.
Yes, that is the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice per property covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen, paid by card, so your accounts team pays it like any other supplier invoice. There are no booking fees and nothing for crew members to submit on expenses.
We make sure of it before you commit. You tell us the vehicle count and sizes at enquiry stage, and we only shortlist properties where they genuinely fit — the modern bungalows usually have driveways, and where a property relies on street space we say so plainly, with photos, before you choose.
No. A two-person team on a short job is as welcome as a larger crew on a long contract, and the service — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, weekly clean, monthly invoice — does not change with size. Extensions and early finishes are both a phone call, with no penalty clauses attached to either.
