North Berwick, Scotland • Scotland
North Berwick looks out over the Firth of Forth from East Lothian's coast in Scotland — the EH postcode area, on the A198 about twenty-five miles east of Edinburgh, with Bass Rock sitting white on the horizon. It's a handsome seaside town of harbours, golf links and birdwatching fame, and a workable base for crews. KrewBase houses them in whole serviced homes: bills in our name, parking checked, Wi-Fi tested, one monthly invoice.
The town runs from the harbour up the High Street and out towards the golf courses: stone villas and terraces in the centre, semis and bungalows through the middle streets, and newer estates towards the town's edges. For crews, the middle suburbs usually win — driveways, a spare room for gear, and less tourist-season friction than the harbour end.
Summer tightens supply, so we plan ahead and filter hard: parking measured against your vehicles, broadband speed-tested before check-in, two bathrooms for five-plus crew, and no prettified holiday lets with nowhere to hang a hi-vis.
Much of the crew demand here is East Lothian-wide: housing development across the county, school and healthcare maintenance, infrastructure jobs along the A1, and the steady upkeep of a coastline full of visitor sites and golf facilities.
Edinburgh pulls in construction and public-sector contracts half an hour up the rail line, so some crews base here for city jobs and take the train. If your contract moves between East Lothian and the capital, we re-shortlist to keep the commute honest.
The A198 links west towards the A1 at Haddington for sites up and down the county, while the A641 and coastal roads reach Dunbar and the power-station coast to the east. Edinburgh is roughly half an hour's drive on a clear run.
The town's station sits on the North Berwick branch with direct trains to Edinburgh Waverley in about thirty-five minutes — one of the better commuter rails in the region. Wherever the site sits, we shortlist by real door-to-gate time.
You rent the whole house — kitchen, living room, driveway, the lot — with rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and Wi-Fi all in our name. A weekly clean and fresh linen are included, and five or more crew get two bathrooms as standard.
Maintenance goes straight to our team: the crew report it, we fix it, your gaffer hears nothing. Your company receives one monthly invoice paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay.
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.
Seaside towns tighten up in season, so give us as much notice as you can — but we still aim for a shortlist within a couple of hours. We'll lean on the town's middle suburbs rather than the holiday-let harbour end, and tell you honestly what's available.
The train does Waverley in about thirty-five minutes, and the drive is similar on a clear run. For city contracts we'll weigh rail against road when we shortlist, and for East Lothian sites it's drive time from the gate that counts.
We check every property against your vehicle list before it reaches the shortlist. The semis and bungalows through the middle streets typically park two or three vans on the drive; tight central terraces we avoid unless the vehicle count is small.
Yes — rent, council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband sit in our name, with a weekly clean and fresh linen on top. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so a crew of five isn't sharing a holiday-let connection.
That's the model: one monthly invoice covering the full stay, payable paid by card, no booking fees. Your accounts team deals with KrewBase rather than a pile of utility suppliers.
We do — the crew report any issue to our team and we deal with landlord and trades directly. It never lands on your site manager's desk, and there's nothing extra to pay outside the one monthly invoice.
