Little Torrington, South West • England
Tucked into the Torridge valley between Great Torrington and the winding River Torridge, Little Torrington sits in the farming heart of Devon, covered by the EX postcode area. It's a small place — which is exactly why crews working across North Devon and Torridge often base up in Great Torrington or Bideford nearby. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses for trade crews across this part of Devon: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against actual vehicles, and one monthly invoice to your office.
Little Torrington itself is a small ribbon of stone cottages and old farmhouses along the river, so crews are usually housed in Great Torrington, Bideford and the surrounding Torridge villages rather than in the hamlet itself. We draw on a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war semis and newer estates across the district. For trade crews the modern estates work best — off-street parking for vans, sensible storage for tools, and room to park a trailer without upsetting the neighbours. Every house we shortlist is checked for parking against the actual vehicles on the job, not the estate agent's guess.
Crews come to this corner of Devon for construction and housing development across Torridge, work on farms and rural estates, and utility and grid jobs along the North Devon corridor. There is steady demand from local infrastructure schemes and from contractors supporting community facilities around Great Torrington and Bideford. Whatever the job — a fortnight fitting out a scheme or six months on a build — we treat a two-person crew exactly the same as a twenty-strong one, with whole houses rather than hotel rooms.
The A386 runs north to Bideford and the A39 Atlantic Highway, and south toward Okehampton and the A30 for crews heading east or west across Devon. Barnstaple is roughly twenty minutes up the road. Around the village itself the lanes are narrow, so rather than promising a property 'near Little Torrington' we shortlist by actual drive time from your site and share the numbers before you book. If your crew is spread across sites from Holsworthy to Torrington, tell us and we'll position the house to cut the daily miles.
You get the whole property, not a block of rooms. Bills — gas, electric, water, council tax, Wi-Fi — go in our name, and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so nobody is hotspotting on day one. Houses sleeping five or more get two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place decent, and any maintenance is our phone call, not yours. Your office gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months.
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.
Inside two hours of your enquiry we send a written shortlist of houses that fit your crew and site, each with drive time from the job, parking layout and bedroom count. Once you pick, we can usually have the paperwork done and the crew checked in within a few days — faster if the job is urgent.
We draw on crew houses across Great Torrington, Bideford, Holsworthy and the Torridge villages in between. If the right house sits a little further out but cuts the drive to site, we'll show you that too — every shortlist gives real drive times so the choice is yours.
Yes. Parking is checked against the actual vehicles on your crew sheet before we offer a house — not guessed from a listing. Most of our Torridge shortlists have drive space for two or three vans, and where a trailer or digger comes too, we say so up front.
Gas, electric, water, council tax and Wi-Fi are all in our name. Your office receives one monthly invoice covering the rent and everything included, paid by card. There are no booking fees, no deposit surprises and no chasing five different utility bills.
Yes. There is no minimum crew size and no minimum stay. A pair of engineers for a fortnight get the same whole-house standard as a full gang for six months, and pricing is per property rather than per head, so small crews are never penalised.
We do. Maintenance is our responsibility — heating, plumbing, appliances, locks. Your crew reports it once, by phone or message, and our team arranges the fix. It never lands on your site manager, and it never appears as a surprise on the invoice.
