Huntly, Scotland • Scotland
Huntly sits on the A96 in Aberdeenshire, in the AB postcode area, where the Deveron runs through a granite market town roughly forty miles north-west of Aberdeen. It is surrounded by farmland and distilleries, and it makes a natural base for crews working the length of the A96 corridor. KrewBase houses contractors in whole serviced properties with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking for the vans and one monthly invoice.
Huntly's housing is honest granite town stock: terraces and cottages around the square and the Deveron, semi-detached estate houses further out towards the schools, and the odd farmhouse or steading conversion in the surrounding parishes. Granite keeps heat well, gardens are common, and parking is generally straightforward once you are off the main street. We shortlist with the crew's day in mind. Can three vans sit outside overnight? Does the kitchen seat six for breakfast? Is there a second toilet so the morning queue stays short? Every property is checked in person before it is offered, heating, broadband and water pressure included.
The A96 is one of the busiest work corridors in the north-east. Food and drink production around Huntly and Keith keeps engineers and trades in the area, while housing development, road maintenance and local infrastructure contracts run along the whole route. Energy work across Aberdeenshire, from grid upgrades to onshore wind, adds longer stays for specialist crews. Huntly sits almost exactly between Aberdeen and Inverness, so crews whose jobs drift along the corridor often anchor here rather than move digs every few weeks. Give us the site pattern and we will rank houses by the worst commute.
Aberdeen is about an hour east on the A96, Keith twenty minutes, and Elgin under three-quarters of an hour. Westbound, crews reach Insch in fifteen minutes and push on towards Inverness when the job demands it. The town is well placed whichever end of the corridor the site lands on. Huntly station sits on the Aberdeen to Inverness line, with direct trains both ways, handy for crew members travelling in at weekends. For daily runs we shortlist by drive time from the site gate at shift-change hours, because averages lie and the A96's peak differs from its mid-morning.
The whole property is yours for the duration. We put council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name and include them in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your vehicle list, and any house sleeping five or more has at least two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen is included, and all maintenance comes to us rather than the crew. Your office receives one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum stay. Quotes come back within two hours of an enquiry with headcount, dates and site location.
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.
Within two working hours of your enquiry. Send the headcount, dates and where the site is, and we reply with whole houses that fit, each with drive times attached. If Huntly itself is short on stock, the same shortlist covers Keith, Insch and the villages along the A96.
The A96 corridor in both directions: Keith, Fife-Keith, Dufftown and Aberlour to the west and north, Insch and Inverurie heading east, with Aberdeen in range for longer stays. Rural Aberdeenshire around Huntly, Cairnie and Glass is covered too, ranked by real drive time rather than straight-line distance.
Yes. Most houses here have driveways or generous off-street space, and we confirm the fit against your vehicle list before check-in. Centre terraces with tighter parking are only offered with a guaranteed space. Parking is included in the rate and on the same monthly invoice.
Yes, all of them. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in our name and bundled into the one monthly invoice. Broadband is speed-tested before anyone moves in. The crew will never see a utility bill or take a meter reading.
That is how it normally runs. A single monthly invoice to your office covers rent, all bills, Wi-Fi, the weekly clean and linen, paid by card. There are no booking fees, no deposits against individuals, and extending the stay just means an email.
Three things get you a priced shortlist: the crew headcount, the start date and rough duration, and the site location such as a postcode or the nearest junction. With those we respond inside two working hours. If the job's dates are still moving, we can hold likely options while they firm up.
