Llanfarian, Wales • Wales
Llanfarian is a village on the A487 three miles south of Aberystwyth, where the Ystwyth valley opens towards Cardigan Bay, postcode area SY. Crews based here are close to the university town's shops and hospitals yet pay village prices and park without a fight. KrewBase lets whole serviced houses and flats to contractors working around Llanfarian and Aberystwyth, with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before arrival, and one monthly invoice to the company.
Llanfarian is a ribbon of stone and render along the old Aberystwyth road: village cottages, modern bungalows, and semis on the small estates built for the town's overspill. The newer end, towards Rhydypennau and the river, is what works best for crews: driveways, garages, and houses with three and four bedrooms that were built with families in mind, not tourists. We shortlist properties with room for a van off the road, a kitchen that takes a crew's cooking seriously, and enough bathrooms that nobody queues at half six in the morning.
Aberystwyth anchors most of the contract work this side of Ceredigion. The hospital and health board, the university's estates, housing development on the town's edges, harbour and coastal maintenance, and utilities work along the A487 corridor all bring in crews. Further south there is grid and renewable work in the hills, and north towards Machynlleth more of the same. A base in Llanfarian puts all of it inside a short drive while keeping the crew out of student-street parking pain.
The A487 is the village's main road, and it is a straight three miles into Aberystwyth or fifteen miles north to Machynlleth. South, the same road runs through Llanrhystud and Aberaeron towards Cardigan, so coastal jobs up and down Ceredigion are all reachable. Aberystwyth station, at the end of the Cambrian line, is close for crew arriving by rail. If your site sits up a valley or off the main road, tell us the gate postcode and we shortlist by measured drive time, checking the last mile properly before you commit.
Every property goes as a whole let, so the crew has the run of the place. Bills are in KrewBase's name: council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband and TV licence. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against your actual vehicles, and any house sleeping five or more has two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, maintenance is our phone call to make, and the company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no per-head pricing.
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.
Two hours is our standard from enquiry to shortlist, assuming you can give us crew size, site postcode and start date. Each option comes with confirmed drive time, parking and Wi-Fi, so the site office can pick without a site visit.
Yes, both and the villages between. Llanbadarn Fawr, Waunfawr, Comins Coch and Bow Street are all within our usual patch, and we shortlist by drive time wherever the gate is. A crew working in Aberystwyth can happily sleep in Llanfarian and avoid town parking entirely.
Far less than in Aberystwyth itself. Village semis and bungalows here tend to have drives or front gardens, and we only shortlist properties with confirmed space for the vehicles you run. It is recorded in writing before check-in, so there are no arguments with the neighbours.
Yes, company invoicing is the norm. One monthly invoice covers rent, all bills, weekly cleaning and linen, paid by card. There are no booking fees and no separate utility paperwork, which keeps your accounts team happy and your crew out of the admin.
Three things: crew size, site postcode, and start date. It also helps to know the vehicles you run and any night-shift pattern, so we can check parking properly and make sure early sleepers get a quiet room. From those details we build the shortlist in about two hours, with drive times confirmed for each option.
We do. The crew reports a problem to us, and we sort the tradesperson, the access and the cost. Nobody on your job is chasing a landlord or buying a new washer out of their own pocket, and anything urgent is treated as urgent.

If Llanfarian is short on the right house for your crew, Swansea is the obvious back-up, roughly 53 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Swansea page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
