Criccieth, Wales • Wales
Criccieth clusters beneath its castle on the Llŷn coast of Gwynedd, in the LL postcode area, on the A497 between Porthmadog and Pwllheli, with Eryri rising behind the shoreline. Crews covering the Llŷn, the coast towards Harlech or the inland valleys can base here comfortably. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses in and around Criccieth, puts the bills, Wi-Fi and parking in order and sends your company one monthly invoice — a proper crew base instead of ferrying people in from Porthmadog every morning.
Criccieth is a small seaside town: Victorian terraces along the seafront, stone cottages on the lanes behind, and a scattering of semis and bungalows towards the golf club side. The seasonal holiday trade means some stock comes and goes with the summer, so we confirm availability against actual dates rather than promises. What we look for never changes — off-road parking for the van, heating suited to winter weeks by the sea, and enough bathroom capacity for the headcount.
Crews work through this corner of Gwynedd on construction and housing development, coastal infrastructure and harbour-side maintenance, plus the ongoing renovation of older properties that keeps local trades busy. Energy and grid jobs move through the wider area, and healthcare crews support sites across the Llŷn. Criccieth splits the difference nicely — close enough to Porthmadog for supplies, far enough west that the commute to Llŷn sites stays short.
The A497 runs east to Porthmadog, about five miles, where it meets the A487 for inland routes and the A470 up the valley. West takes you to Pwllheli in under twenty minutes, with the Llŷn opening up beyond. Criccieth has its own station on the Cambrian Coast line, which some crews use for rotations, but day-to-day travel is by van — and we shortlist houses by measured drive time to your site rather than guessing from a map.
The whole property is yours for the stay: bills in our name, broadband tested before anyone arrives, parking checked against real vehicles, and two bathrooms where five or more are staying. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place liveable, and any maintenance lands with us, not your site manager. Your company gets a single monthly invoice paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or 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.
About two hours once we have the site postcode, headcount and dates. Availability tightens in summer when the holiday trade peaks, so dates matter here more than most places — the earlier you flag them, the better the options. And if dates move, tell us quickly: winter stock is far easier than a July week.
Criccieth itself plus Llanystumdwy next door, Pentrefelin, and along the A497 towards Porthmadog and Pwllheli. For Llŷn sites we weight options west; for inland work, east — the shortlist follows the job, not a fixed radius. Everything we send has parking and bathroom count confirmed before it reaches you.
We check it before check-in, against the actual vehicles. Seafront terraces can be short on space, so we favour the semis and bungalows set back from the front with driveways — your van needs to be outside the door, not three streets away.
Yes — one invoice each month covering rent, bills and the weekly clean, paid by card. There's nothing for the crew to set up or pay, no booking fees hidden at the end, and your accounts team deals with a single predictable line rather than a stack of receipts.
Usually, yes, and it's one of the first things we ask when you enquire. If an extension looks likely we try to secure the same property rather than moving everyone — tell us the moment you know and we'll sort it. If the same house proves impossible, we manage the move around shifts so the crew loses as little time as possible.
We do. The crew reports a problem, we book the tradesperson and it gets fixed without involving your office. That's the point of the single invoice — one call, one bill, no admin chain, and no arguing about whose responsibility a leaking tap is.
