Cheddar, South West • England
At the foot of the Mendip Hills, Cheddar is best known for the gorge — but for crews it's better thought of as a well-placed base at the meeting point of the A371, A38 and A368. BS-postcode Somerset, roughly nine miles from Weston-super-Mare and about fifteen from Bristol. KrewBase lets whole serviced houses and flats here, holds all the bills in our name, tests the Wi-Fi before check-in, and invoices your company once a month for everything.
Cheddar's housing runs from older stone and rendered cottages in the gorge-end village to post-war semis and newer estates spreading towards the levels. The estates and the Draycott side suit crews best — easier van parking, quicker access to the A371 and A38, and less tourist-season friction than the village core. Every shortlist property offers: off-road parking for at least two vehicles, a kitchen built for batch cooking, and a lounge that fits the whole crew without an argument.
The Mendips corridor keeps crews busy: housing development around the edge towns, construction and refurbishment in the villages, farm and food-sector work across the levels, and maintenance along the A38 and M5. Cheddar sits within easy reach of Weston-super-Mare, Wells, Axbridge and the Bristol fringe, so one base can serve several sites as the job list shifts week to week.
The A371 runs west to Weston-super-Mare in around twenty minutes, the A38 heads north towards Bristol with the M5 close by, and the A368 cuts across the Mendips towards Bath. Wells is about seven miles east. For sites in the smaller villages we shortlist by measured drive time — Cheddar's road position is good, but the gorge villages can add minutes, so we check rather than assume.
Whole-property lets only — your crew, your keys, no strangers. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all sit in our name, with Wi-Fi speed-tested before anyone arrives. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard, plus a weekly clean and fresh linen. Maintenance calls come straight to us and get fixed without looping in your site manager. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card — rent, bills, cleans, everything — with no booking fees and stays from a fortnight upwards.
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 headcount, vehicles, site location and start date, and you'll have a shortlist within two hours. Cheddar, Axbridge, Draycott and the edge of the Mendips usually give us a genuine choice of stock, and check-in typically lands within a few working days of you picking a property.
Yes. We only shortlist properties where your vehicles actually fit — drives or yards measured against what you're bringing, not guessed from a listing. Village-core cottages with no parking simply don't make our list. State the vehicle count and sizes when you enquire and we'll match accordingly.
Widely. From a Cheddar base we cover Weston-super-Mare, Wells, Axbridge, Wedmore, the Chew Valley edge and the Somerset side of Bristol. If the job moves along the M5 corridor, we'll shift the housing search with it — same setup, same single monthly invoice.
One invoice a month covers rent, all utilities, council tax, Wi-Fi, weekly cleans and linen, paid by card. We can reference purchase orders or cost codes per site. It removes the receipt-chasing entirely — the crew lives in the house, your finance team gets one tidy line item.
Yes — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and all in the price. We speed-test the Wi-Fi before check-in because a crew house without decent internet generates complaints you'd rather not field. Nothing gets switched off mid-stay on the crew either; that's our job to manage.
For anything beyond a couple of nights, almost always. A whole house costs less per head than hotel rooms, includes cooking and laundry facilities, and parks the vans outside. Cheddar's visitor trade also means hotel prices swing in season — a crew house rate doesn't. Long stays are where the saving becomes obvious.
