Kingsbridge, South West • England
Kingsbridge is the market town at the head of its estuary in the South Hams, Devon, South West England, in the TQ postcode area, where the A381 sets off towards Plymouth. It's a long way from the nearest chain hotel, which is exactly why crews here need a proper crew house. KrewBase houses working crews in whole properties in and around Kingsbridge — every bill in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice for your company.
Kingsbridge mixes handsome old townhouses near the quay, terraces climbing the hill, and post-war semis and bungalows on the estates out towards the A381. Summer makes the centre pricey and parking tight, so for crews we generally favour the estate side of town — driveways, gardens, room for vans — and the villages at the top of the estuary. Every property gets walked first: parking proven against your vehicles, bathrooms adequate for the headcount, and a landlord who understands working lets rather than holiday lets.
There's a steady run of work across the South Hams: housing development and construction in the market towns, fisheries and marine work around the estuaries and coast, utilities jobs along the rural network, and healthcare rotas into the towns and villages. Crews covering sites across the district — Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes, the coastal villages — often base in Kingsbridge because it's central to all of them and has real shops, chandlers and food outlets to keep a crew going.
The A381 is the main artery — Plymouth is 40 minutes or so north-west, Totnes around 20 minutes with its rail link to the rest of the country. Dartmouth is a short run east, Salcombe ten minutes across the estuary on the A381. Beyond that, South Hams lanes are pretty but slow, so distance is a poor guide. That's why we shortlist by measured drive time to the site at shift start — ten rural miles can be ten minutes or twenty-five, and your crew shouldn't find out which on day one.
A whole house or flat, your crew only. All bills — gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband — stay in KrewBase's name inside one monthly rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before anyone arrives, parking is confirmed against the actual vans, and houses sleeping five or more get two bathrooms. Weekly clean and linen are included, maintenance is our problem at our cost, and your office receives one monthly invoice, paid by card — no booking fees, no minimum stay or crew size.
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, with whole properties shortlisted by drive time to the site and matched to your headcount. In season the market tightens, so give us as much notice as you can — but urgent stays are often arranged within the same week.
The town itself plus the villages up and down the estuary and along the A381 towards Totnes and Modbury. For sites further afield — Dartmouth, Salcombe, the coastal villages — we'll say honestly which base keeps the crew's drive shortest.
Where we say yes, yes — parking is checked against your actual vehicles before we offer a house, not assumed from photos. Estate-side Kingsbridge and the outlying villages are usually fine for two or three vans; the tight old-town terraces we generally avoid for multi-van crews.
All in. Utilities, council tax, broadband, the weekly clean and linen change are inside the monthly rate, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Crew members pay nothing personally — everything sits on one monthly invoice to your company, paid by card.
One invoice per month, itemised per property, paid by card. If you run multiple crew houses across the South Hams, they roll into a single invoice so your office isn't chasing ten different landlords or reconciling a stack of separate bills.
Site location, headcount, start and end dates, and ideally the number of vehicles. From that we shortlist properties that fit the vans and the shift pattern, and come back with one monthly price — everything included, with no extras appearing later.

Kingsbridge sits about 17 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.
