Cheltenham, South West • England
Cheltenham needs little introduction: a Regency spa town in GL-postcode Gloucestershire, nine miles from Gloucester and minutes from the M5. Behind the crescents and racecourse it's a practical working town, which is why crews end up here for months at a stretch. KrewBase rents whole serviced houses and flats across Cheltenham, keeps every bill in our name, and sends your company one monthly invoice — whether the crew is two strong or twenty.
Cheltenham's stock is unusually varied: Regency terraces and converted townhouses in the central districts, Victorian streets in places like St Paul's, and post-war semis and modern estates towards Hatherley, Warden Hill and the north-west edge. Crews with vans generally do best on the estates and the town's fringes — drives, garages, and a straight run to the M5. What we shortlist on: off-road parking for your vehicles, a proper kitchen, and enough bathrooms to keep a 5am start civilised.
The town and its orbit pull steady crew work: construction and refurbishment across the housing stock, office and commercial fit-outs, healthcare staffing for the local NHS sites, logistics along the M5 corridor, and the trades that keep a town of Cheltenham's size running. Crews based here typically cover Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury and the growing villages in between, with Worcester and Bristol commutable for the right job.
Junctions 10 and 11 of the M5 sit either side of town, putting Gloucester about fifteen minutes away and Bristol under an hour. The A40 and A46 head east towards Oxford and the M40, and the A435 runs north to Evesham. Cheltenham Spa station has regular services towards London, Bristol and Birmingham. Because the town's traffic varies with the races and school runs, we shortlist by measured drive time to your site rather than brochure distances.
Tell us headcount, vehicles, site postcode and start date; a shortlist comes back within two hours. The property — house or flat — is let whole to your crew, with utilities, council tax and broadband in our name and Wi-Fi tested before check-in. Five-plus crews get two bathrooms as standard, plus a weekly clean and fresh linen. Maintenance is ours to fix, and your finance team receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no per-head pricing, no minimum 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.
Within two hours of a complete enquiry — headcount, vehicles, site location and start date — we'll send a shortlist. A town the size of Cheltenham usually gives real choice across districts, and we can typically have keys in the crew's hands within a few working days.
All of it: the central districts, St Paul's and St Peter's, Hatherley, Warden Hill, Prestbury, Up Hatherley and the edge estates. If the job sits towards Gloucester, Tewkesbury or the M5 villages, we'll pull stock from there instead and keep the same one-invoice setup.
Yes — we treat it as essential. Town-centre terraces often can't take a transit, so we focus the shortlist on streets and estates with drives or garages, and we measure against your actual vehicles before offering anything. Parking stress is one of the main reasons crews prefer houses over hotels here, and we don't let it slip.
One monthly invoice covers rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and linen, paid by card. Purchase orders, cost codes and site references are fine. Your crew never handles money or suppliers, and your finance team gets a single tidy document instead of a month of receipts.
Everything — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband sits in our name and in the price. We speed-test the connection before check-in and upgrade it if a property falls short. Crews arrive to working heating, hot water and internet; nothing needs switching on or arguing about.
No gatekeeping here. Small crews on short bookings are as welcome as a full gang for six months, and pricing is per property rather than per head. For longer stays a house almost always beats hotel rooms on cost, comfort and parking — and the washing machine means no weekend laundrette runs.

If Cheltenham is short on the right house for your crew, Oxford is the obvious back-up, roughly 37 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Oxford page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
