Colan, South West • England
Colan sits a couple of miles inland from Newquay, close enough to use the town's shops and trades counters, far enough out to park a van outside your own door. TR-postcode Cornwall, near the A3059 and the A39 Atlantic Highway, with the A30 cutting across the county. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats around Colan, Newquay and the surrounding villages, with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, and one monthly invoice for your company.
The Colan parish is rural Cornwall — bungalows, farmhouses and newer detached houses along the lanes between Newquay and the A39. Most crews base in or towards Newquay itself, where the stock ranges from older terraces to modern estates with drives and garages. What we shortlist on: off-road parking for the vehicles, a kitchen that feeds the whole crew, decent heating for winter contracts, and broadband that handles streaming and calls — tested, not assumed.
North Cornwall pulls a varied mix: construction and housing development around Newquay and the coastal towns, tourism-sector maintenance and refurbishments through the seasons, utility and grid work across the rural parishes, and the agricultural trade inland. Crews based near Colan can reach Newquay in minutes, head up the A39 towards Wadebridge and the coast, or cut inland on the A30 towards Truro and the rest of the county.
The A3059 links Colan to Newquay in about five minutes, the A39 Atlantic Highway runs north-east towards Wadebridge, and the A30 — the county's spine — is a short drive south for Truro, Redruth and beyond. Newquay airport sits between the village and the town. For rural Cornish sites we shortlist strictly by measured drive time from your exact location — lanes here can double a map estimate, so we check every route properly.
Every property is let whole to your crew — no shared hallways, no per-head hotel maths. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all sit in our name, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard, along with a weekly clean and fresh linen. Maintenance calls come to us, sorted without looping in your site manager, and everything rolls into one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew, 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.
Send headcount, vehicles, site postcode or pin, and start date, and we'll return a shortlist within two hours. We weight the search across Colan, Newquay and the A39 villages depending on your site's real drive time, and check-in typically follows within a few working days.
Colan parish, Newquay, St Columb Major, Wadebridge along the A39, and inland towards the A30 corridor — Truro, Redruth and the central villages. If the job moves along the north coast or down the A30, we shift the housing search with it on the same one-invoice setup.
Yes — it's a hard filter on every shortlist. Rural and edge-of-town stock around Colan and Newquay usually comes with drives or gardens, and we check them against your actual vehicles before offering a property. If it only fits one car and you're bringing two transits, we say so and look elsewhere.
One invoice a month paid by card covers rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, weekly cleans and linen — purchase orders and cost codes welcome. The crew never deals with suppliers or receipts, and your finance team gets a single tidy document instead of a shoebox of paperwork.
Everything's included: gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband, all in our name. We speed-test the connection before check-in because rural Cornwall connectivity varies street to street — if a property falls short, we fix it or don't send it. Nothing gets switched off mid-stay on the crew.
No minimum crew size and no minimum stay — short bookings for a couple of trades are as welcome as six months for a full gang. Pricing is per property, not per head, so smaller crews regularly beat hotel rates while getting a whole house with a kitchen, lounge and parking. Seasonal hotel prices in Newquay make the gap even wider in summer.
