Blackford, Scotland • Scotland
Blackford sits on the A9 between Perth and Stirling, a compact Perthshire village that has become a handy base for crews spread across the central belt. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats here with the bills in our name — Wi-Fi, council tax, energy and water sorted before your crew arrives, all rolled into one monthly invoice. Whether the job keeps you near Gleneagles, Auchterarder or further up the A9, we shortlist properties by real drive time so nobody wastes an hour each morning.
Blackford's housing is classic Perthshire village stock: sandstone cottages along the Allan Water, post-war semis and a handful of newer detached houses on the village edges. For crews, the semis and detached places work best — driveway parking for vans, a living room that doubles as a paperwork hub, and gardens that take muddy boots. We filter out anything with awkward on-street-only parking or a single bathroom for bigger crews. Flats are thin on the ground here, so a Blackford shortlist leans almost entirely on whole houses with two bathrooms for five or more people.
Crews coming through Blackford are usually working the corridor between Perth, Stirling and the Gleneagles area — construction and housing development, grid and energy work along the A9, and the steady trades support for farms, distilleries and hospitality sites across this part of Perthshire. The village is small, so most jobs sit within a twenty-minute radius rather than in Blackford itself. That is why we shortlist from the middle: houses equidistant between Perth and Stirling keep commutes fair whichever direction the job points.
The A9 is the spine here. Blackford sits about ten miles south-west of Perth and twelve miles north of Stirling, with the M9 at Stirling linking east and west. Gleneagles and Auchterarder are minutes away, and Dunblane and the M80 are close for crews heading toward Glasgow. There is no station in the village — the nearest rail is at Gleneagles for the Edinburgh and Glasgow lines. When the job is out on the farms or distillery sites off the main road, we shortlist strictly by measured drive time from the site gate, not map distance.
We let the whole property, not rooms, so your crew keeps the place to itself. All bills go in our name — energy, water, council tax and broadband — with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in. Parking is checked against the actual vehicles arriving, not a vague 'space for one'. Properties for five or more come with two bathrooms as standard, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the house presentable. Maintenance calls come to us, not your crew. You get one monthly invoice paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay.
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 us the site location, headcount and dates, and we return a shortlist of checked properties within about two hours. Every house on it has been verified for parking, bathrooms and broadband, so your team is not trawling listings that were never suitable in the first place.
Yes. We shortlist across Blackford, Auchterarder, Gleneagles, Dunning, Braco and Greenloaning, and anywhere else sensible within the drive-time window you give us. If a village house beats a Blackford one on commute and spec, that is the one we put forward.
We check parking against the actual vehicles before anything reaches your shortlist. Village semis and detached houses usually offer driveways for two or three vans; older cottages with on-street-only parking are filtered out unless your crew travels light. If the vans change mid-job, tell us and we re-verify.
Yes. Energy, water, council tax and broadband are in our name and included in the rent, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in. Your crew pays nothing at the property, your company receives one monthly invoice covering the lot, and no surprise utility bills ever land on site.
That is how most of our work runs. We invoice your company monthly paid by card — one invoice covering rent and all bills — with no booking fees. Individual crew members never have to pay and claim it back afterwards.
No minimum crew size and no minimum stay. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months, and the house, bills and invoicing work exactly the same either way. Most crews in this corridor book between four weeks and six months.

If Blackford is short on the right house for your crew, Edinburgh is the obvious back-up, roughly 31 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Edinburgh page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
