Doune, Scotland • Scotland
Straddling the River Teith in the Stirling area of Scotland, Doune is a small village in the FK postcode area, known for its castle and sitting where the A84 and A820 meet between Stirling and Callander. It is a quiet, practical base for crews working across the Trossachs, the Forth Valley and the central belt. KrewBase houses crews in whole serviced properties with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice to your company.
Doune itself is mostly stone-built - cottages and villas along the village streets with a scattering of newer homes - while the surrounding area offers post-war semis and modern estates in Dunblane, Bridge of Allan and Callander. Crews usually do best in the larger nearby towns where parking and bathrooms are easier to come by. Every property we shortlist is vetted for real parking against your vehicles, kit storage and two bathrooms for crews of five or more.
Crews work through this corner of Scotland on housing development and refurbishment around Stirling and Dunblane, forestry and land-management jobs in the Trossachs, energy and grid work, road maintenance on the A84 and A821 corridors, and the seasonal upkeep of a busy visitor area. Stirling and Perth also pull in manufacturing and logistics crews from here. Whatever the job, the house is booked by the property, so trades and headcounts can change mid-contract without drama.
The A820 drops south to Dunblane and the A9 in minutes, while the A84 runs west to Callander, Lochearnhead and the A85, and east into Stirling around eight miles away. Perth is roughly twenty miles and Edinburgh and Glasgow are both under an hour by car. The nearest stations are Dunblane and Stirling, with fast trains to both cities, and we shortlist by drive time from your site postcode - including the seasonal traffic the Trossachs generate.
The crew gets the whole house; we keep the bills - council tax, energy, water and broadband in our name, Wi-Fi speed-tested before check-in, heating checked for a Scottish winter. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, maintenance is ours to fix, and your accounts team gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew or stay, and extensions are simple when the job runs on.
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 from your site postcode, headcount and start date. Stock in Dunblane, Bridge of Allan, Callander and Stirling is strong, so most crews check in within a few days, and we can usually turn urgent short-notice bookings around faster.
Yes - Doune, Dunblane, Bridge of Allan, Callander, Blair Drummond and the villages along the A84 and A820, with Stirling itself when a bigger-town base suits the site. We choose on drive time from your site rather than the nearest pin on the map, which matters on the tourist routes.
Every property is matched to your actual vehicle list before you commit - vans, pickups and trailers counted, not assumed. Village cottages can be tight, so we lean toward houses with driveways or off-street bays, and we will say plainly if a property only offers kerbside space.
All bills stay in our name - council tax, energy, water and broadband - and everything rolls into one monthly invoice, paid by card. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so your crew can get on with the job, and no utility paperwork ever reaches them.
No minimums either way. A two-person crew for a short contract is priced the same way as a dozen for six months - by the property and the length of stay. Extensions are straightforward when schedules slip, subject to availability, with no rebooking fees.
We do. Crews report any fault to KrewBase and our local contractors handle heating, plumbing, appliances and electrics, with priority for anything that affects a shift. The weekly clean doubles as an inspection that catches small faults early, and nothing maintenance-related ever lands on your crew or their expenses.

If Doune is short on the right house for your crew, Glasgow is the obvious back-up, roughly 24 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Glasgow page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
