Colyton, South West • England
Colyton is a small east Devon town in the EX postcode area, a few miles inland from Seaton and within easy reach of Sidmouth, Axminster and Honiton. KrewBase puts working crews up in whole serviced houses and flats here — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, parking confirmed against your vehicles, one monthly invoice to your business. It works well for contractors spread along the A3052 coast road and across the wider East Devon jobs map.
Colyton's stock is a mix of handsome Georgian stone cottages along the old streets, plain mid-century terraces and small estates running down towards Seaton. For crews the newer Seaton-side estates and the roomier terraces are the winners — space for a dining table that doubles as a plans table, and parking that's a doddle compared with the coast's tighter villages. We filter for heating that can handle winter, drying space for wet gear and landlords happy with shift patterns.
Crews in this corner are usually tied to housing development around Seaton, Axminster and the Devon–Dorset border, coastal and infrastructure work, food and agricultural processing further inland, and the endless round of school, healthcare and holiday-let maintenance a tourist coastline generates. Colyton is also a sensible dormitory for longer contracts around Exeter when city rents don't stack up. Crews tend to be two to six people for stays of a month or more.
The A3052 runs through Colyton towards Sidmouth one way and Lyme Regis the other, putting most coastal sites within half an hour. Honiton and the A30 — then the M5 — are a short run north, so Exeter and the motorway network stay in reach. When contracts move between villages we shortlist by drive time from each site rather than a circle on a map, which in rural East Devon makes a real difference to your crew's mornings.
The whole property is yours — nobody else has keys. Bills including council tax, gas, electricity, water and broadband are in our name, and the Wi-Fi is tested before your crew arrives. Parking is checked against the actual vans. Five or more crew gets two bathrooms, a weekly clean keeps the place straight, and linen is changed without being asked. Maintenance lands on us, and your accounts team sees one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, 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 about two hours of getting the site postcode, crew size and dates, during working hours. We check parking, Wi-Fi and drive time before anything reaches you, so the shortlist is short because it's been filtered, not because the market is thin.
Yes — the whole East Devon patch, from Lyme Regis side across to Honiton and up to the A30. If your site moves mid-contract we re-check drive times and adjust the shortlist so the house keeps making sense for the commute.
Yes. We confirm parking against the vans and pickups you'll actually bring — a driveway, or easy roadside space on a street wide enough not to become a daily battle. The newer estates towards Seaton are the most reliable for this, and we walk away from tight-lane cottages however charming they look.
Everything a household normally generates: council tax, gas, electricity, water and broadband. All of it sits in our name, tested or verified before check-in, so your crew never sees a bill and never phones a provider. Your business receives a single monthly invoice paid by card — no utility paperwork, no surprise extras.
Usually, yes. Extensions are handled with a call or email, not a new booking, and the monthly invoice simply continues. If the overrun is long and the site has moved, we'll also re-sense-check that the house still sits sensibly against the new drive times.
Send the site postcode, crew numbers, vehicle count and rough dates. We shortlist checked houses and come back with one all-in monthly figure. No booking fees, no per-head charges, and small crews are priced the same way as big ones.
