Burnham Without, South West • England
A short way inland from Burnham-on-Sea, the rural parish of Burnham Without in Somerset, South West England, wraps around the edge of the seaside town in the TA postcode area. It is a spread-out place of farms and hamlets with the M5 close by at junction 22. KrewBase finds whole serviced houses and flats for crews working across the Somerset Levels and the coast, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking in and one monthly invoice.
Burnham Without is parish countryside rather than a single settlement: farmhouses, converted barns and scattered modern bungalows between the lanes, with pockets of newer housing near the boundary with Burnham-on-Sea. That spread suits crews, because there is room to park properly and no terrace-crammed centre to negotiate with a van at six in the morning. The trade-off is distance, so we are honest about drive times before anyone commits.
We shortlist the properties that work for people finishing late and starting early: driveways that take the listed vehicles, practical kitchens, space to dry wet gear, and no fragile holiday-let interiors that cannot survive a muddy winter. Each property is checked in person before it reaches your shortlist, and we say plainly if something is half a mile from the nearest neighbour.
Work across this part of Somerset keeps a steady demand for crew housing: building and housing development around the coastal towns, drainage and flood-management infrastructure out on the Levels, warehousing and logistics along the M5 corridor, and upkeep of the holiday parks and guest properties that line this stretch of coast. The work is year-round even if the resort itself slows in winter. None of it stops for the weather, and neither do the crews.
Crews based here typically cover jobs anywhere between Bridgwater, Weston-super-Mare and the villages out towards the Polden Hills, so a central base with good road access matters more than a smart address. We hear the same from site managers every season: give us parking and an honest commute, and the rest follows. A settled crew with a proper kitchen also makes less trouble than one living out of a hotel.
The M5's junction 22 sits right at the top of the parish, so the motorway network is minutes away. Bridgwater is roughly seven miles and Taunton about twenty-five, while the A370 runs along the coast to Weston-super-Mare in around twenty minutes and on toward Bristol, some thirty-five miles away. That puts most of Somerset within a reasonable daily commute from one base.
If the job itself sits out on the Levels or further along the corridor, tell us the site and we shortlist by actual drive time at the hours your crew will be travelling, not by mileage alone. A lane across the moors and a mile on the map are rarely the same thing. We would rather overstate a commute than sell you one.
You take the whole property, and we put council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband and TV licence in our name. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your vehicles, and for five or more people we aim for two bathrooms so the morning queue does not set the tone for the day. The crew arrives to beds made, heating on and a kitchen they can actually cook in.
A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, maintenance comes to us rather than to the crew, and your office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. There are no booking fees, no minimum crew size and no minimum stay, whether the job runs a fortnight or the best part of a year. The paperwork looks the same at both ends, which is the point.
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.
Three things: the site address or postcode, how many people and on what dates, and what vehicles need parking. With that we build a shortlist of whole houses or flats around Burnham Without within about two hours, each one with drive time, parking and bedroom layout set out plainly for whoever signs it off.
We shortlist across the Burnham-on-Sea area and the surrounding Levels villages, out to Highbridge, Berrow, Brent Knoll and toward the Polden Hills, plus Bridgwater and Weston-super-Mare if the commute fits. If the best-served house sits just over the parish line, that is what we will put forward.
Yes. We note shift patterns before shortlisting so the house suits people sleeping in the day: quieter spots, black-out options and neighbours who are not party-wall neighbours. Keysafes and self check-in are standard, so a crew rolling back at six in the morning gets in without drama.
We confirm parking against the vehicles you list before anyone checks in, whether that is two vans or a van and several cars. Rural and edge-of-town houses around Burnham Without usually have driveways, and we favour those over pretty properties with nowhere to put a Transit.
Everything goes on one monthly invoice to your office paid by card: rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, weekly clean and linen. There are no booking fees and no surprise utility bills afterwards. If a stay extends, the paperwork just carries on in the same way without a new deposit or contract.
A crew house works out cheaper per head for anything beyond a few nights, and the crew gets a kitchen, a washing machine, a sitting room and parking on the doorstep. People on early starts are not queuing for hotel breakfast, and nobody is paying tourist rates in a seaside town.
