Ferrindonald, Scotland • Scotland
Ferrindonald is a scattered hamlet on the Isle of Skye, a short run south of Broadford on the A87 in the IV postcode area. Work across the island — building, renewables, road maintenance and the busy tourism trade — pulls crews to Skye year-round, and proper rental accommodation is thin on the ground. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses and flats around Ferrindonald, Broadford and across Skye with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice to your company, matched to drive time from your site.
Ferrindonald itself is a line of houses and crofts along the old road — lovely, but with almost no rental stock. Crews base in the houses and cottages scattered along the A87, in Broadford just north, or in the townships towards Isleornsay and the Skye Bridge. We shortlist by real drive time, and we check the island specifics: parking for vans and trailers, heating that suits the weather, and broadband that's actually been speed-tested rather than hoped for.
Skye's work is a mix: housing and building projects in the townships, renewable energy across the hills, road and infrastructure maintenance, and the construction and upkeep that keeps the island's tourism economy running. Crews working across the Highlands and islands rotate through in waves, often for weeks at a stretch. A whole house with one monthly invoice beats camp beds or a string of guesthouse rooms every time.
The A87 is the island's main artery and it passes minutes away: Broadford around five miles north, the Skye Bridge a short run south, and Portree roughly twenty miles further up the island. There's no railway on Skye, so everything moves by road. Give us the site and we shortlist strictly by drive time — on an island, fifteen minutes the wrong way costs an hour out of the day.
The crew takes the whole house — its own kitchen, sitting room and doorstep, with no sharing. Bills stay in our name: council tax, heating, electric, water, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles and any trailer, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms in our search. A weekly clean keeps the place straight and maintenance is ours. 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.
Almost none — it's a hamlet, not a town. We place crews in the houses and cottages of the surrounding area and in Broadford just up the road. Send the site postcode and we'll shortlist by real drive time, which on Skye is the only measure that matters.
The south of the island primarily — Broadford, Isleornsay, the townships towards the Skye Bridge — and further afield towards Portree and the Trotternish side when the job demands it. If the site moves, we re-shortlist from the new location rather than stretch the commute.
We check parking against the full vehicle list before shortlisting — vans, pickups and trailers included. Island properties vary, so we confirm drive space, turning room and heating fuel in the property summary, and we don't offer anything that can't take what you're bringing.
All of them. Council tax, heating, electric, water and broadband stay in our name and roll into one monthly invoice to your company paid by card. Broadband is speed-tested before check-in, which matters more on Skye than most places — a crew can't run without it.
Extensions are routine. Tell us before the booking end date and we'll usually extend in place at the agreed rate; if the house is committed elsewhere, we line up a like-for-like alternative on the island with the same drive time before anyone moves.
We do. The crew phones us with any problem — heating, water, broadband — and our contractor sorts it. Maintenance never lands on your site manager, never on the crew, and never appears as an extra line on the invoice.

Ferrindonald sits about 9 miles from Inverness. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Inverness page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
