Montacute, South West • England
Montacute is a small village in South Somerset, in the South West of England and the TA postcode area. It lies just west of Yeovil beneath the steep hill the village is named for, with the A303 a short drive north. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses and flats for crews working around Montacute and the Yeovil area — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking checked against your vehicles, and one monthly invoice for the company.
Montacute is a hamstone village in the classic South Somerset mould: golden cottages, older terraces and a modest number of newer houses on the village edges. For crews, the newer properties and solid end-terraces are the ones that work — off-street van parking, a utility space for wet kit, and enough bedrooms to spread out without an argument about who gets the box room. Every house we shortlist is checked in person for parking, heating and a kitchen fit for a working crew, whatever the photographs suggest.
The village sits minutes from Yeovil, so we also shortlist across the town's western edges and neighbouring villages such as Tintinhull and Martock. A five-minute drive can mean easier parking and a bigger house for the same budget, and here that drive is a lane, not a commute. The crew always gets the whole property, and we give you the honest drive time to site for every option, so the morning run is known before the first van is loaded.
Crews working around Yeovil and the A303 corridor book with us for construction and housing development across the district, manufacturing and engineering work at the area's industrial sites, logistics along the A303 and the local A-roads, and ongoing maintenance on the older hamstone housing. We keep job references deliberately generic — the details belong to you — but the work is steady trades work that needs a proper house near site, and it rarely finishes on the date first written down.
Yeovil's job market rotates: contracts finish and start within commuting range, and experienced foremen keep the crew in one house through the change rather than packing everyone into hotels between sites. If your dates might move, tell us early and we will shortlist houses where extensions are simple and expected, rather than a negotiation with a landlord halfway through the job when everyone's leverage has gone.
Montacute's location is quietly excellent: Yeovil is five minutes away, the A303 crosses the countryside just north of the village, and from there the M5 at Taunton lies west while Wincanton and the A37 lie east. Crews based here can reach sites across south Somerset and into Dorset without changing address, which is exactly why a single well-chosen house beats a chain of B&Bs over anything longer than a fortnight.
Crews run vans, so we rank every option by real drive time from the site postcode at shift-start, not off-peak averages. Send us the location and we shortlist accordingly — and if a house that looks perfect sits on the wrong side of Yeovil for the morning run, we will tell you before you book and put the better option at the top of the list, because ten minutes saved each way is real time over a season.
Every KrewBase let is a whole property — no shared corridors, no hotel schedules, no breakfast cut-off to plan around. Bills go in our name: council tax, gas and electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is checked against the actual vehicles, and for crews of five or more we look for two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean with fresh linen is included, and maintenance calls come to us rather than to anyone trying to get to site.
One monthly invoice covers rent and bills paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay length. Send the site postcode, crew size and dates, and we aim to return a checked, available shortlist within two working hours. The decision is then a simple yes or no, the house is held, and the paperwork is one page that finance can process without a question.
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 receiving the site postcode, crew size and dates. Every option is checked and available, with photos, parking notes and honest drive times, so you can decide without a round of calls and the crew is not left in limbo as the start date arrives.
Montacute itself, Tintinhull, Martock and the western edges of Yeovil. Because Yeovil traffic shapes every morning run here, we shortlist by real drive time from your site rather than by village name — the shortlist follows the commute wherever it points.
The ones we send do. We visit, photograph and measure the parking against the vehicles you tell us about — the older village lanes can be narrow, so we favour houses with drives or generous forecourts, and we say on the listing exactly what will be there when the crew gets back at the end of a shift.
Yes. Council tax, gas and electric, water and broadband all sit in our name, and Wi-Fi is tested before the crew walks in, so the first evening is settling in rather than sitting on hold to a provider. If it drops mid-stay, fixing it is our job from first report to resolved.
Exactly — rent and bills arrive as one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees. One finance contact and one reference for the whole stay, whatever the crew size, and your accounts team can match the cost straight to the job without any chasing around.
Extensions are routine. Give us as much notice as you can and we will hold the house, or move the crew to an equivalent property nearby with no gap in accommodation. Mentioning the possibility when you first book helps, because it changes which houses we would put forward and which landlords we would approach.
