Bellingham, North East • England
Bellingham is a village on the North Tyne in Northumberland, England's North East, carrying the NE postcode, lying on the B6320 about sixteen miles north of Hexham and a few miles from the Kielder Forest. When crews are working this remote corner, KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties with bills, Wi-Fi and heating in our name — one monthly invoice, no fuss for your company.
Bellingham is a proper working village — stone-built houses and terraces along the main street, council and newer semis behind it, and scattered farms and cottages up the side valleys towards Kielder. Most come with land or a drive beside them, so parking vans is rarely the headache it is in a city. We filter for the realities of remote work: heating that can take a hard frost, hot water for a full shift's worth of crew, and internet that functions — whether that's broadband in the village or a solid 4G setup at an outlying property. Anything that fails those tests stays off our list.
This corner of the North East draws the outdoorsy end of the work — forestry jobs in and around Kielder, estate and farm building work along the valley, rural housing repairs, fencing and land management, and energy and grid work across Northumberland. Crews also pass through for longer stints maintaining the remote infrastructure the valley depends on — roads, bridges, utilities — jobs where the nearest town with a hotel is an hour away and a serviced house near site transforms the job.
The B6320 runs up the North Tyne to Kielder village and west towards the A68, while south it joins the A696 near Kirkwhelpington for Newcastle — roughly forty miles and the best part of an hour. Hexham, about sixteen miles south, has the A69 for east–west travel and rail connections. Public transport barely exists up here, so every crew drives — which is why we shortlist strictly by measured drive time to your site, and why parking at the property matters as much as the bedrooms.
The let covers the whole property, with gas or oil, electricity, council tax and Wi-Fi in KrewBase's name — tested before check-in. Parking is checked against your actual vehicles, and for crews of five or more we push for two bathrooms. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, the weekly clean and fresh linen, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimums, and maintenance is ours — which matters more the further from town your crew is based.
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 address, headcount and dates, and we'll aim for a shortlist within two hours. Stock is genuinely limited this deep into Northumberland, so we confirm availability, heating and access with landlords directly before sending anything — no speculative lists.
Bellingham itself plus the North Tyne villages — Wark, Falstone, Kielder village itself, Greenhaugh and out towards Tarset. For crews working across the forest and the valley, we pick the base by drive time so nobody's climbing the same sixteen miles twice a day.
In the village, generally yes for broadband; further up the valley it varies property by property. We test the connection before check-in and check mobile coverage at the house itself. If a property's internet won't handle site reports, we tell you upfront and shortlist an alternative.
Yes — rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning and linen combine into one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees. It's the same paperwork whether your crew is two people for three weeks or twelve for a year.
Usually, yes. Village houses here typically have a drive or space beside the property, and outlying farms and cottages come with yards. We still check dimensions against your vehicles before booking and confirm it in writing, so there's no surprises on day one.
KrewBase does. The weekly clean and linen keep standards up, and any repairs are arranged by us with local trades. Your crew reports a problem to us, not to a landlord two valleys away, and nothing lands on your site manager's desk.

Bellingham sits about 28 miles from Newcastle. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Newcastle page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
