Horrabridge, South West • England
On the western edge of Dartmoor in the PL postcode area, Horrabridge strings out along the A386 between Tavistock and Plymouth where the River Tavy runs off the moor. It's a practical spot for crews who need Dartmoor-side sites one week and Plymouth the next. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats around Horrabridge with bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, and your company gets a single monthly invoice.
Horrabridge stretches along the valley in a long thin line: older stone cottages and Victorian houses near the old station and the river, with 1960s and newer semis and detached houses climbing the slopes towards Yelverton. The narrow riverside streets can be tight for vans, so we usually shortlist the roomier semis and detached houses on the higher lanes where parking is easier. Our checks are the usual ones done properly — heating that copes with winter on the moor's edge, hot water for consecutive showers, and broadband that survives an evening of streaming.
The village sits between three steady sources of work. Plymouth to the south brings construction, dockside and logistics contracts; Tavistock to the north has its own housing development and public-sector work; and the moor itself generates highways, forestry, utility and water-industry jobs along the A386. Crews on grid and telecoms contracts along the corridor pass through regularly, as do trades on the older granite housing stock in the villages. Wherever the site sits, we place the stay against the drive, not the brochure.
The A386 is the village's lifeline: Tavistock is around ten minutes north and the edge of Plymouth — Derriford, Estover and the north of the city — roughly fifteen to twenty minutes south, with the city centre a little further. Yelverton is minutes away and the A38 at Plympton can be reached through the city's northern suburbs. For moor-side sites we shortlist by real drive time over the lanes, because ten map miles across Dartmoor can mean very different things depending on the road.
Your crew takes the whole house — no shared lets, no landlords in the spare room. All utilities, council tax and broadband are in our name, with Wi-Fi tested before arrival and parking confirmed against your vehicle list. For five or more crew we hold out for two bathrooms, and a weekly clean with fresh linen is included as standard. Anything that breaks is our problem to fix. One monthly invoice, paid by card goes to your accounts team; there are no booking fees and no minimum crew size or length of 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.
Both. We shortlist in Horrabridge where the right house exists — usually the semis and detached properties on the upper lanes — and across Yelverton, Walkhampton and the villages towards Tavistock. Every option is priced and photographed with drive time to your site, so you can compare properly rather than guess.
That's how it works by default. One monthly invoice in arrears paid by card covers rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning and linen. No booking fees, nothing for the crew to pay and claim back, and we can consolidate several houses onto one statement if you have crews across the area.
Yes — that's one of its main draws. Derriford and the north of Plymouth are typically fifteen to twenty minutes down the A386, often quicker than staying inside the city's own traffic. Crews get village parking and quiet nights, with the city still close enough for early starts not to hurt.
Extensions are routine. Tell us as early as you know and we'll hold the house or offer the nearest equivalent; jobs running over is a normal part of the work, not an inconvenience to us. If the property is committed after your original end date, we'll line up an alternative before you have to move.
We only shortlist properties where we've tested the connection and recorded the speeds, which matters in a Dartmoor-edge village where broadband can vary street by street. If a property can't support a household of streamers and anyone working online in the evening, it doesn't go on the list.
All sizes. A two-person crew for a fortnight gets the same bills-in house and monthly invoice as a full gang for months — we simply match the property size to the crew so you're not heating empty rooms. Shift patterns and staggered start dates are no problem either.

Horrabridge sits about 10 miles from Plymouth. 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 Plymouth page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
