Naunton, South West • England
Set in the Windrush valley on the edge of the Cotswolds, Naunton is a small Gloucestershire village in the GL postcode area, roughly ten miles east of Cheltenham. KrewBase puts work crews up in whole serviced houses around the village and the surrounding towns, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking arranged before anyone arrives. Your crew gets a proper base for jobs across the Cotswolds and the Cheltenham side, and your company gets one monthly invoice.
Naunton itself is classic Cotswolds: honey-coloured stone cottages along the Windrush, a handful of farmhouses and newer detached houses on the lanes towards Guiting Power. Stock in the village is limited, so we shortlist across the surrounding settlements as well, including Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and the edge of Cheltenham, wherever the drive to site makes sense. That wider spread means crews of most sizes can be housed within a sensible drive, even in a busy season.
Cotswold cottages look lovely in photographs but can be tight on parking and bathrooms, so we filter hard before anything reaches you. We look for off-street space for vans, at least a shower room and bathroom for five or more, and heating that copes with a Cotswold winter. Whatever makes the shortlist is practical first and pretty second, not the other way round.
Work around the Cotswolds tends to be construction and housing development in the market towns, alongside steady roofing, stonework and maintenance jobs on the area's older building stock, much of it listed or period. Crews also come through for hospitality and tourism projects across the district, and for healthcare and public-service work centred on Cheltenham and the larger towns nearby. Farms and rural businesses add agricultural building work through the year, so demand rarely stops entirely.
We keep our references to sources of work general on purpose. Tell us your site and shift pattern and we will match a property to it, whether the job lasts three weeks or the best part of a year. The house is chosen for the commute and the crew, never because it happened to be available that week. Seasonal pressures in tourism and agriculture shift the pattern through the year, and the shortlist shifts with them.
The A429 Fosse Way and the A436 cross this area, linking the village to Cheltenham in around twenty minutes, Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh to the east, and the A40 corridor beyond. For rail, Moreton-in-Marsh and Cheltenham stations are the practical options for crews travelling in from elsewhere, and both have parking if the crew arrive by car. From there the Midlands and the south coast are both straightforward for crews travelling between jobs.
Because village stock is thin here, we usually plan around drive time from your site rather than insisting on a specific postcode. Properties across this part of Gloucestershire go on the shortlist if the commute stays sensible, and we will say honestly when a place ten minutes further out is the better house. Cotswold lanes can be slow, so the measured route always wins over the map straight line.
You let the whole property, not rooms in someone's home. Bills are in our name, so gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are included in one monthly invoice, and Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Properties for five or more people carry two bathrooms as standard, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps things civilised between shifts. The whole-property point matters: no shared kitchens, no landlord next door, no awkward house rules.
Maintenance and repairs come to us, not to your crew or your accounts department. Terms are card payment, there are no booking fees, and there is no minimum crew size or stay length. From the first enquiry to checkout you deal with one named contact who knows the property and the booking. Extensions are handled through the same contact, so a job overrun does not mean a house hunt all over again.
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.
In most cases, yes. Send us the headcount, site location and start date and we aim to come back with a shortlist within about two hours during the working day. Where the village itself has nothing suitable, we extend the search to Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and the Cheltenham edge so you still get real options quickly.
The whole central Cotswolds patch: Naunton itself, Guiting Power, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Northleach and the villages between them, plus Cheltenham if the site lies that way. The shortlist follows your site rather than a rigid boundary, so tell us where the job is and we will work outwards from there in sensible steps.
Cotswold cottages can be short on parking, so we check it property by property and confirm space for your actual vehicles before you commit. Houses and farm conversions with driveways or yards go to the top of the list, and we tell you plainly when a property relies on on-street parking so you can weigh that up first.
Everything sits on one monthly invoice: rent, bills, cleaning and linen. Your company pays paid by card, there are no booking fees, and no individual crew member ever has to put costs on a personal card. One accounts contact handles the paperwork from check-in to checkout, which keeps things simple for everyone involved.
Extensions are normally straightforward. Tell us as early as you can and we will confirm whether the same house can carry on or line up an alternative nearby, so the crew is not left without a base when a job overruns. Shortenings are handled the same way, with notice terms set out plainly in the agreement before anyone moves in.
Yes, that is the point of a serviced let. Boilers, plumbing, appliances and anything else that breaks is reported to us and we sort it with local contractors, keeping the crew on site and your office out of it. Problems are triaged the day they are reported, with genuine emergencies treated as emergencies rather than queued.
