Greenlaw, Scotland • Scotland
On the A697 between Coldstream and Berwick-upon-Tweed, Greenlaw is a small market town in the Scottish Borders with the TD postcode. The A1 is a short drive east, opening up the whole east coast corridor. KrewBase houses crews working across the Borders in whole serviced properties in and around Greenlaw — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking sorted, and one monthly invoice for the company.
Greenlaw is a classic Borders town: stone-built terraced houses and cottages along the main street, with newer bungalows and semis on the outskirts and in villages like Hume and Eccles. Stock is modest, so we secure good houses early for crews on longer jobs. We filter for off-street parking, a kitchen the whole crew can use, at least two bathrooms for five or more, and streets quiet enough for crews sleeping after night shifts.
Crews work across the Scottish Borders on construction and housing development, road maintenance along the A697 and A1 corridors, forestry and land work, and agricultural infrastructure through the seasons. Healthcare teams cover shifts at hospitals and care sites around Duns and Berwick, and utility and grid crews are a regular presence in the rural network. Jobs here are often dispersed — one base that reaches them all is worth a lot.
The A697 runs through Greenlaw towards Berwick-upon-Tweed about fourteen miles east and Coldstream to the south-west, with the A1 reachable in minutes for fast runs up and down the east coast. Duns is six miles away for shops and services, and Berwick's station on the east coast main line connects to Edinburgh and Newcastle. Tell us the site and we'll shortlist houses by real drive time, not straight-line distance.
Every let is the whole property — the crew holds the keys, cooks in a real kitchen and parks off the street. Bills go in our name, Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, and the weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place straight. Maintenance calls come to us, everything lands on one monthly invoice, paid by card, and there are no booking fees, no minimum crew and 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.
Around two hours from your enquiry, once we have the site, crew size and dates. Borders stock is limited, so we may widen the shortlist to Duns, Berwick-upon-Tweed and the A697 villages — always with honest drive times and photos. You can book from the shortlist with a single email reply.

All in — heating, electric, water, council tax and broadband are in our name and covered in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before your crew arrives, and the utilities are already live so there's no waiting on suppliers. It makes the accommodation cost one clean line for finance.
