High Bickington, South West • England
Between Barnstaple and Exeter in mid-Devon, in the EX postcode area, High Bickington lies a short distance from the A377 and the market town of Great Torrington. When a job brings your crew to this part of the South West, sorting beds shouldn't eat your evening. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats with bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, and sends your company one monthly invoice — nothing to chase, nothing to top up.
High Bickington is a proper working village in the Torridge district: stone and render cottages along the main street, with newer detached houses and bungalows on the lanes around it, and larger family homes scattered across the surrounding farmland towards Roborough and Atherington. Most of what works for crews here are whole houses — semis and detached places with a driveway and a bit of garden, rather than flats. We filter for parking that genuinely fits vans, and for lounges and dining space where a crew can actually sit down together after a shift.
Crews working across North Devon and the Torridge district book with us for all the usual reasons: housing development and roofing, farm building work, agricultural maintenance, and the steady run of renovation and repair jobs on the older stone housing stock. Utility and grid contractors pass through regularly too, along with crews supporting the healthcare and care-home sites around Great Torrington and Barnstaple. When we shortlist for your job, we ask what the site is and where the crew will actually be driving from, not just the village name on the booking.
High Bickington sits just off the A377, which runs north to Barnstaple and south towards Crediton and Exeter, so most commutes here are simple A-road miles. Great Torrington is around ten minutes away, and Barnstaple is roughly a half-hour drive. There is no station in the village — the nearest rail access is at Umberleigh or Eggesford on the Tarka Line, which links up to Exeter. If your site is off the beaten track, tell us where it is and we shortlist by real drive time, not guesswork.
You get the whole property, not a room count. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax — are in our name, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so it's working the night your crew arrives. We check parking against the actual vehicles you're bringing, and for crews of five or more we look for two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean and fresh linen are part of the deal, and any maintenance problem is ours to fix, not yours to phone around for. Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no hidden extras on the back end.
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 us the site postcode, crew size and start date and we come back with a shortlist within two hours during working hours. The village itself is small, so we usually spread the shortlist across High Bickington and the nearby villages along the A377 and towards Great Torrington, all within an easy drive of site.
Yes. Rent, utilities, council tax, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and linen are all bundled into a single monthly invoice paid by card, addressed to your company. There are no booking fees and no separate utility bills chasing your crew around the house.
Most of the houses we place crews in around the village have driveways or off-road space, which matters when you're running transit vans. Before check-in we confirm parking against the actual number and size of vehicles in your crew, so nobody ends up blocking a narrow village lane.
Absolutely. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. We'd typically place a small crew in a two or three-bed semi with a driveway, and you still get the full service — bills in, Wi-Fi tested, one monthly invoice.
Three things: the site location or postcode, headcount and gender split for rooming, and your start and end dates. With that we can return a priced shortlist the same day, and we can usually accommodate shift patterns and staggered arrival dates.
We do. Any maintenance issue goes straight to KrewBase, not to your site manager or the crew. We have contractors across North Devon who can attend quickly, and if something can't be fixed promptly we'll look at moving the crew rather than leaving them in a cold house.
