Okehampton Hamlets, South West • England
The hamlets around Okehampton are scattered across the northern edge of Dartmoor in Devon, in the EX postcode area, with the A30 running past the town as the South West's main east-west route. KrewBase houses crews working in this part of the county in whole serviced properties, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking in place before check-in. Your company gets one monthly invoice, and your crew gets a base that suits early starts on site.
This is proper rural Devon: farmhouses, converted barns, stone cottages and clusters of newer detached houses around the town's edge and the villages towards Hatherleigh and North Tawton. Stock in any single hamlet is thin, so we shortlist across the whole Okehampton area and beyond, wherever the drive to site works best for the crew's start times. Converted barns often bring the space and parking that village cottages lack.
The filter is the same as anywhere else: parking sized for real work vehicles rather than a family hatchback, two bathrooms for crews of five or more, heating that copes with winter on the moor's doorstep, and space to cook, eat and dry kit after a wet day. A remote farmhouse only makes the list if it passes all of that.
Crews come through for construction and housing work in and around Okehampton, for maintenance on the area's older rural housing stock, and for utility, energy and grid work across the moorland fringe and the wider county. The A30 corridor also brings logistics and infrastructure jobs, with healthcare and public-service work centred on the town and Exeter further east. Forestry and land-management work picks up across the moor through the seasons.
Whatever the job, we match the house to the site and the shift pattern, from short intensive stints to longer placements that run most of a year. Rural work is often weather-dependent, so extensions and date changes are treated as normal, not as a nuisance, and the let flexes accordingly. The same flexibility covers shortenings when weather or materials pull the end date forward.
The A30 skirts the north of Okehampton, putting Exeter about half an hour east and Cornwall within reach west, with the A386 running south towards Tavistock and the A382 east towards Moretonhampstead and the A38. Okehampton's reopened station on the Dartmoor line gives Exeter a rail option for crews arriving without vehicles, and it has changed how easily this area can be reached. Plymouth sits to the west for jobs running down the A38 corridor.
Drive times here are honest ones: moorland roads are slower than they look on a map, so we shortlist against measured routes to your site, not straight lines. Where a job sits up on the moor, we favour the villages on the right side of the hills. Winter brings its own caution on the high roads, and we shortlist with that in mind from November onwards.
The crew takes the whole property, with kitchen, living space, washing machine and proper beds rather than bunks. Bills are in our name, so gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are included in the rate, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and a five-plus crew gets two bathrooms. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are part of the service. Mud rooms and boot storage are checked where we can, because moorland work is wet work.
Maintenance lands with us from day one, however rural the property. Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, and no minimum crew or stay, so the booking fits the job rather than the other way round. One invoice covers it all, whoever sleeps in which room. Local contractors cover the outlying parishes, so a farmhouse booking is serviced with the same speed as a town one.
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.
Hamlets this small rarely hold suitable stock at the moment you need it, so we shortlist across the wider Okehampton area, including the town's edge and villages towards Hatherleigh and North Tawton. Every option is checked for parking, bathrooms and real drive time to your site before it reaches you.
Once we have headcount, site location and dates, we aim to return a shortlist within about two hours in a working day. Rural Devon needs a broader search than a city, so options may span several villages, but each is verified and priced before you see it, and nothing on the list is a guess.
Rural properties are often good for parking, with driveways and yards that take vans, but we never assume. We record your vehicle count and shortlist accordingly, telling you plainly where a property's access is tight or where moorland lanes need care in winter weather, so the crew is not surprised on arrival night.
Yes. Gas, electric, water, council tax and broadband are held in our name and included in the rate, and Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Rural broadband can be patchy, so testing matters: if a property cannot support the crew's needs, it does not make the shortlist, whatever it looks like.
That is how we work. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen paid by card, with no booking fees and nothing routed through crew members' personal cards. Your accounts team deal with one contact from check-in to checkout, and the paperwork stays the same however rural the property is.
Yes, with the right property. We note shift patterns at enquiry stage and favour houses where the crew can come and go without friction, with enough bathrooms to avoid queues after a night shift and heating suited to moorland winters. Tell us the pattern when you enquire and the shortlist reflects it from the start.
