Bovey Tracey, South West • England
Bovey Tracey styles itself the gateway to Dartmoor, and it earns the name: this Devon town sits on the A38 around four miles north of Newton Abbot and thirteen miles south-west of Exeter, in the TQ postcode area of England's South West, with the moor rising at the end of the high street. KrewBase houses work crews here in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking matched to your vehicles, and everything on one monthly invoice.
The old town centre is a handsome mix of stone and cob cottages and older terraces, pretty to look at but often short on parking. The houses that work best for crews are the post-war semis and the 1970s-onwards estates spreading towards the A38 and the neighbouring village of Heathfield — driveways, garages, gardens and straightforward access in any weather. We shortlist from that practical end of the stock, filtering for parking verified against your vehicles, sensible bathrooms for the headcount and space to store kit without living around it.
South Devon keeps plenty of temporary teams on the road: construction and housing development around Newton Abbot, Exeter and the growing villages, local infrastructure and utilities work, and manufacturing along the A38 corridor. Healthcare crews head to the hospitals in Newton Abbot and Exeter, and moorland estates bring their own run of maintenance and conservation work. With the A38 running past the town, Bovey Tracey is a natural base for crews whose sites shift around the south of the county.
The A38 is the town's backbone: Newton Abbot is five minutes south, Exeter around twenty minutes north and Plymouth half an hour beyond. The A382 heads west across the moor towards Moretonhampstead for the more remote sites. Newton Abbot's mainline station, five miles away, has trains to Exeter, Plymouth and London for crew arriving by rail. When your site moves — say from the estates to the moor — tell us and we'll re-check the drive time; that's exactly what our shortlisting is built around.
Your company books the whole house and we hold all the bills in our name — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband — with Wi-Fi speed-tested before your crew checks in. Parking is confirmed against your actual vehicle list, and for crews of five or more we aim for two bathrooms. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, all maintenance runs through us, and your office receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size or stay length.
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.
With the site postcode, crew size, vehicle list and start date, we typically return a shortlist of whole houses within two working hours — photos, parking notes and a fixed weekly rate, so your office can approve the same day and your crew can be in by the end of the week.
The town itself plus Newton Abbot, Heathfield, Kingsteignton, Chudleigh and the villages along the A38 and A382. If your site drifts towards Exeter or onto the moor, we'll re-shortlist around the new drive time. Most options sit within a fifteen-minute drive of town.
On the estates, usually yes — driveways and garages are common, and we verify space against your vehicle list before offering anything. The older centre can be tight, so we simply avoid shortlisting crew houses there. If your kit list includes a trailer, tell us and we will screen for it.
Yes. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all stay in our name — no utility chasing, no meter top-ups. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and the whole cost lands on one monthly invoice to your company. Your office simply receives one monthly invoice.
Extensions are routine. We agree the extra weeks at the same rate where possible and your crew stays put — give us as much notice as you can. If the property genuinely can't extend, we'll line up a like-for-like house nearby so there's no gap.
We do, end to end. Your crew reports a fault, we arrange the trader and cover the cost — nothing lands on your site team or your office. Direct management keeps things moving, which matters when the house is twenty minutes from anywhere.
