Doddiscombsleigh, South West • England
Doddiscombsleigh is a small village in the Teign valley a few miles south-west of Exeter, in Devon, South West England, in the EX postcode area, with Exeter the nearest city. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced properties in and around the village — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, parking checked against your vehicles, one monthly invoice. It suits crews on rural contracts across mid and east Devon who want a settled base rather than a different B&B every week.
Village housing here is scattered — farms, a handful of period cottages, and newer detached houses along the lanes towards the Teign valley floor. That means a good crew house is a needle in a haystack, which is why crews use us rather than hunting themselves. We look for off-street parking for vans, heating that works in January, and landlords comfortable with a working household. If nothing in the village fits, we shortlist from the surrounding lanes and nearby settlements by drive time.
Crews in this part of Devon are usually covering work around Exeter's edge, rural utility and highway contracts, housing development in the growing towns, and the seasonal churn of farm, food-processing and tourism maintenance across mid Devon. Some crews split weeks between several small sites, which makes one settled village base far more livable than a new B&B every Monday. Crews of two to six for weeks or months are the norm here.
Doddiscombsleigh lanes feed towards the A38 at the Exeter end or down towards the Teign valley and Newton Abbot, so most sites in east and mid Devon are a sensible drive. Rural lanes slow real travel time, so we shortlist strictly on drive time measured at commuting hours — not miles — and if your site moves towards Okehampton or the moors, we'll say when it's time to shift base rather than stretch the commute.
Whole property, all bills in our name — council tax, gas, electricity, water, broadband — with Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in and parking confirmed against the vehicles you list. Five or more crew gets two bathrooms, plus a weekly clean and linen change. Maintenance is our problem: your crew calls us, we fix it, at our cost. Your business receives one 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.
Two working hours from receiving the site postcode, crew size and dates. Village stock is thin, so we also shortlist across the surrounding lanes and settlements — every option pre-checked for parking, Wi-Fi and real drive time at commuting hours before it reaches your inbox.
No — the village plus the surrounding Teign valley parishes and the Exeter fringe. If the right house sits a few lanes away and saves your crew twenty minutes each way, that's the one we'll send. Drive time decides, not the boundary on a map.
It has to be checked property by property, which is exactly what we do. We confirm driveway or off-street space against your vehicle list before anything reaches you. A rural house without van parking is a non-starter, and we treat it that way.
Yes — council tax, gas, electricity, water and broadband all go in our name, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Rural lines vary, so we test the actual connection at the property rather than trusting postcode estimates. Your business then receives one monthly invoice, paid by card.
KrewBase does. Your crew reports a fault to us, we book the tradesperson and cover the cost. Nobody needs to track down a plumber or heating engineer in rural Devon mid-shift. Housing problems are our job; your crew has enough of their own.
No minimums. Small crews on short jobs book the same way as big gangs on long ones, and pricing is per house rather than per head. Village properties are few, so tell us early and we'll hold the right one while dates firm up.
