Llanddew, Wales • Wales
Llanddew is a tiny village a mile north-east of Brecon in Powys, mid Wales, at the foot of the Brecon Beacons. There is little rented housing in the village itself, so crews working the LD postcode area are almost always placed in Brecon - and that suits everyone. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses there: bills, Wi-Fi and parking in, one monthly invoice to your company, no booking fees, and room for two crew or twelve.
Llanddew is the kind of place with a church, a village hall and a scatter of stone houses - lovely, but not where you find a five-bed crew house with a driveway. Brecon, a mile down the road, has exactly that stock: Victorian terraces near the town centre, post-war semis on the estates, and newer detached houses on the fringes where parking is easy. We shortlist across all three, but parking and a second bathroom decide what actually gets offered.
We rule out anything with steps too steep for kit runs, no drying space for wet gear, or parking that evaporates at school-run time. Brecon's older streets are handsome but tight, so we check turning space and street width against the vehicles you tell us about, not the estate agent's description. In a town this size we can usually walk a property before offering it, and we do.
Crews come to Brecon for practical outdoor work spread across mid and south Wales: utility and grid maintenance, forestry and fencing in the Beacons, road and drainage jobs on the A40 and A470 corridors, plus housing and public-building work around the county's towns. There is a steady run of agricultural contracting too, especially through spring and harvest. Most of it is small teams for defined jobs - a few weeks to a few months - which is precisely what a serviced crew house beats a hotel for.
Brecon sits where the A40 and A470 meet, so the road connections are better than the village feel suggests. Abergavenny is around twenty miles south-east, Hereford about thirty north-east, and the A470 runs down the Usk valley towards Merthyr and Cardiff. There is no station in Brecon itself, so crews travelling in by rail usually come via Abergavenny or Cwmbran, and we plan houses around that.
For scattered rural sites we shortlist by drive time from the gate, tested against the lanes rather than the map's optimism. Mountain weather on the Beacons roads can slow a commute by ten minutes, and we would rather know that before you book than after. Once you are in, a change of site or an extension is a quick call - the house stays, the plan flexes.
You rent the whole house, not rooms. Gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband, a weekly clean and fresh linen are all in our name, and Wi-Fi is tested before anyone carries a bag in. For crews of five or more we require two bathrooms as standard. If the boiler plays up, our contractor fixes it - your crew reports it once and gets on with the job.
Everything rolls into one monthly invoice, paid by card - rent, bills, cleaning, the lot - with no booking fees and no minimum stay or crew size. Send the site, headcount and dates and we will return a shortlist of Brecon houses within two hours in working time. Small team, long contract, awkward dates: all fine. The house has to fit the job, not the other way round.
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.
Honest answer: rarely. Llanddew has only a handful of houses, so we place crews a mile away in Brecon where the rented stock actually is - terraces, semis and edge-of-town houses with driveways. Your crew still reaches anywhere in the LD area within half an hour, and gets a proper town's shops at the end of the day.
Within two hours of getting the site, headcount and dates, we send two or three houses that fit on paper and in person - we walk the parking and test the broadband before offering. Brecon's pool is healthy, so speed is rarely the problem; finding the right street is.
Yes. We cover Brecon itself and the villages around it in the LD postcode - the town's edges, the Usk valley lanes and the roads up into the Beacons. If a job sits up a mountain lane, we say honestly what the winter commute looks like before you commit.
Checked before you book, against the real vehicles. We favour houses with driveways or generous kerbside space, and we drop anything with school-run congestion or awkward restrictions nearby. Tell us the van sizes on the quote request and we match the house to them.
All bills - gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband - are in our name and included in the one monthly price. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and a weekly clean with fresh linen comes as standard. Nobody on your team should see a utility bill or a meter reading.
We do. Your crew reports a fault once, by phone or message, and our local contractor deals with it - boilers, leaks, locks, the lot. Maintenance is in our name, which is rather the point of a serviced house: your site supervisor has a job to run, not a landlord to chase.

If Llanddew is short on the right house for your crew, Cardiff is the obvious back-up, roughly 35 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Cardiff page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
