Bridge of Orchy, Scotland • Scotland
Bridge of Orchy is a handful of buildings where the A82 crosses the River Orchy at the edge of Rannoch Moor, but the road, the railway and the West Highland Way keep work moving through. Road maintenance, forestry, hydro schemes and estate work bring crews into this corner of Argyll, and KrewBase houses them in whole serviced properties along the corridor with every bill in our name and one monthly invoice. We shortlist by real drive time, because out here 'near site' is measured in weather as much as miles.
The hamlet itself has almost no housing, so realistic shortlists run along the corridor: Tyndrum five minutes north, Dalmally and Inveraray to the west, Crianlarich and Loch Lomond's north end to the south. Stock is cottages, converted steadings and small terraces — solid and warm if you pick right, damp and electric-heated if you do not. We check heating systems, insulation and hot water properly, confirm broadband before check-in, and make sure there is real parking, because a crew waiting on a gritter has better things to do than move a van at dawn.
This stretch of Argyll is working countryside. Road and infrastructure maintenance keeps teams on the A82 all year, forestry operations run across the glens, and hydro and energy schemes bring in contractors for months at a time. Estates need ongoing trades cover, and tourism — the West Highland Way passes right through — brings seasonal hospitality work to Tyndrum and the surrounding lodges. Crews are often small and long-stay, which suits whole-house lets perfectly: your own kitchen, your own heating schedule, no landlord in the next room.
The A82 is the only artery, running south past Loch Lomond toward Glasgow, sixty miles away, and north through Glencoe to Fort William, around thirty-five. Tyndrum is minutes away for shops and fuel, and the West Highland line stops at Bridge of Orchy itself, linking Glasgow with Oban and Fort William. Winter is the honest complication: snow slows or closes the road often enough that we shortlist by the worst-case drive, and we make sure the house has the heating and supplies to ride out a closed-road day.
The whole property is yours for the duration: every bill — energy, water, council tax and broadband — in our name and included, Wi-Fi checked before arrival, parking matched to the vehicles coming, two bathrooms for crews of five or more, and a weekly clean with fresh linen. Maintenance is ours to fix however remote the glen; your crew reports it and gets on with the job. One monthly invoice paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum stay — a two-person crew for a month is as normal here as a dozen for six.
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.
Yes, from the corridor rather than the hamlet itself: Tyndrum, Dalmally, Crianlarich and Inveraray all hold suitable whole houses within a sensible drive. Every option is verified for heating, parking, bathrooms and broadband before it reaches your shortlist, whatever the season.
Send the site location, headcount, dates and vehicle count, and you will have checked options within about two hours. We measure drive time from the site gate, using winter-realistic timings for this stretch of the A82 rather than the summer estimate.
Yes — the whole mid-Argyll corridor. Most crews here are based anywhere from Crianlarich to Inveraray depending on where the site sits, and we simply shift the shortlist to match the commute, showing you the honest drive time for each house.
That is checked before we shortlist: heating system, insulation and hot water capacity are verified for properties in this glen, and anything substandard is filtered out. We also use worst-case drive times in winter, so your crew is never snowed out of both the road and the schedule.
Coverage varies glen by glen, which is exactly why we speed-test every shortlisted property before check-in. Only houses that deliver make the list, and the broadband is included in the rent alongside every other bill on the same monthly invoice.
The location changes nothing about how we work: one monthly invoice, paid by card covering rent and all bills, with no booking fees. Your finance team deals with the same process as a city-centre booking, and the crew pays nothing at the property.

Bridge of Orchy sits about 50 miles from Glasgow. 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 Glasgow page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
