Forrabury and Minster, South West • England
Forrabury and Minster is a coastal parish on the north Cornish coast, just north of Boscastle in England's South West, in the PL postcode area. It's a scattered place of farms, cottages and hamlets along the B3263, with Bude about fourteen miles north and Camelford six miles south. KrewBase houses crews in whole serviced properties across this part of Cornwall: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice.
This corner of Cornwall doesn't do estates. The housing is scattered — granite farmhouses, stone cottages in the hamlets, and a modest number of modern detached houses and bungalows along the main road and the lanes down to the coast. Crews need the modern end: somewhere with parking for more than one vehicle, bathrooms that can take a whole shift showering at once, and heating that copes with a wet Atlantic winter. We filter out the pretty but impractical — low-beam cottages, single parking spaces, holiday-let conversions with no storage — and shortlist what a working crew can actually live in.
Crews work this stretch of north Cornwall for the things a rugged coastline demands: coastal path, cliff and flood-defence maintenance, utility and water work following the valleys, and forestry and land-management contracts inland. The farming and tourism economy brings its own seasonal building work — barn conversions, holiday-let refits, small development sites around Boscastle, Tintagel and Delabole. Most contracts are modest in crew size but long in duration, which suits a whole serviced house far better than a run of B&B rooms.
The B3263 runs through the parish between Boscastle and the A39 near Camelford, so Bude is about twenty minutes north and Wadebridge about twenty-five south, with the A30 at Launceston reachable in around half an hour for the rest of Cornwall and Devon. The lanes off the main road are narrow, and distances here are deceptive — four miles can take fifteen minutes — so we shortlist strictly on measured drive time from the site rather than the map. There's no local station; crews drive.
The let is the whole property, taken in your company's name, with gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband held in ours. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your actual vehicle list, and for five or more we look for two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, maintenance calls come to us and get sorted without your office chasing trades, and the whole cost lands on one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size or stay length.
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.
Send the site postcode, crew size, vehicle list and start date, and we'll come back with a shortlist of suitable properties — usually within two working hours. Each option includes photos, parking notes and a fixed weekly rate, so your office can approve it the same day and your crew can be moved in before the job starts.
We cover the parish itself plus Boscastle, Tintagel, Camelford, Delabole, Bude and Wadebridge. Most crews working anywhere along the north Cornwall coast between Bude and Padstow can be housed within a sensible drive of site, and we re-shortlist if the contract moves.
Yes — by shortlisting the modern detached houses and farm properties with proper off-street parking, and confirming space against your actual vehicle list before offering anything. We don't put crews in harbour-side cottages where the van has to live a ten-minute walk uphill.
We speed-test broadband at every property before check-in and won't offer a house where the connection won't stand up to a crew's normal use. Rural Cornwall has its black spots, so this check matters more here than most places — and it's done before your lads arrive, not after.
The site postcode or nearest address, the number of crew, the vehicles you'll bring, any shift pattern, and the start date with an expected duration. With that we can shortlist within two working hours and quote a fixed weekly rate the same day.
No minimums at all. A small crew on a short job gets the same serviced whole house as a big team on a long contract, and if the job runs long, extending is usually a quick phone call once we've confirmed the calendar.
