Golspie, Scotland • Scotland
Down the far north-east coast of Scotland, Golspie is a small village in Sutherland, Highland region, carrying the KW postcode and sitting right on the A9 between Dornoch and Brora. The Dornoch Firth is on its doorstep and the Far North railway line stops in the village itself. KrewBase houses working crews here in whole serviced properties — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, one monthly invoice, and space for the vans.
Golspie's housing is a mix of traditional stone-built terraces and cottages along the main street, with bungalows and newer houses on the edges of the village. Stock is limited, so for crews working across the Highlands we plan ahead and lock properties early. We filter hard for what a working crew actually needs: parking for real vehicles off the street, a full kitchen, laundry facilities, and enough bathrooms so five people aren't queuing for one shower in the morning.
This stretch of the Highlands sees steady demand from crews on energy projects, wind farm maintenance and grid work, alongside road and rail maintenance along the A9 corridor. Construction and housing work picks up in the villages, and seasonal trades move through as tourism businesses open, close and refit. Crews coming to Sutherland tend to stay weeks rather than nights, which is exactly what whole crew houses are built for.
The A9 is the road that matters up here and Golspie sits directly on it — Brora is a few minutes north, Dornoch about ten miles south, and Inverness around fifty miles for bigger city runs. Golspie station on the Far North Line runs trains to Inverness. Tell us the site location and we shortlist houses by actual drive time, because up here nearby can mean something quite different on a winter morning.
Every let is the whole property — no shared corridors, no hotel rules. Bills go in our name, Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against the vehicles arriving, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place straight. Two bathrooms for crews of five or more is our standard. Maintenance calls come to us, it all lands on one monthly invoice, paid by card, and there's no booking fee. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months.
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.
Once we have the site location, crew size and dates, a shortlist usually comes back within around two hours. Up here stock is thinner, so if nothing in Golspie itself fits we'll widen to Dornoch, Brora and Helmsdale and show you the drive times — you can book the same day by email. with photos and the fixed monthly rate for each house.
Golspie itself, then Dornoch and Brora along the A9, Helmsdale and Lairg further out. The whole east Sutherland coast is in reach. Give us the site and we'll tell you honestly what sits within a sensible daily commute. We cover the whole east Sutherland coast, so a site anywhere between Dornoch and Helmsdale is workable from one base.
We check it before check-in. Village streets in Golspie are narrow in places, so we favour properties with a drive, garage or off-street space sized to the vehicles you're actually bringing — pickups, vans and trailers all included in that check. It's part of the booking, confirmed in writing before anyone travels north.
Yes — gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband all go in our name and are covered in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before your crew arrives, which matters up here where connectivity isn't always a given. The check covers whatever you bring — pickups, vans or trailers — and it's confirmed in writing before check-in.
Usually, yes. Extensions are handled with one email as long as the property is available, and the same monthly invoicing carries on. If a different property would suit the longer stay better, we'll say so rather than leave your crew in the wrong house.
We do. Your crew reports a problem to us, we book and pay the local tradesperson, and your site manager never gets involved. It all stays inside the one monthly invoice, with no call-out charges passed on to the crew.
