Penzance, South West • England
At the far western end of the A30, Penzance is the last sizeable town in Cornwall - TR postcode area, England's South West, with a rail terminus and a working harbour. It's around 25 miles from Truro and roughly 75 from Plymouth, so it serves as the practical base for the far west. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for working crews here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before arrival, parking matched to your vehicles, and one monthly invoice that goes straight to your company.
Penzance has some of the widest stock in west Cornwall: Georgian and Victorian terraces in the old town, solid semis toward Newlyn and the eastern end, and modern estates on the fringes with drives and garages. Holiday-let pressure peaks in summer, so we favour genuine residential streets where parking isn't fought over. Every property on our Penzance shortlist is checked for off-road or guaranteed vehicle space before we offer it to you.
Work around Penzance is the usual west Cornwall mix: construction and housing development, energy and grid maintenance, marine and harbour-side jobs, logistics serving the far west, and the constant upkeep a tourism economy demands. We won't pretend to know your programme - tell us the site and dates and we'll shortlist houses by drive time, whether the crew is two people or twenty.
The A30 ends in Penzance, so every eastbound journey - Truro, Redruth, the wider motorway network beyond - starts on one familiar road. Trains leave Penzance station for Truro, Plymouth and Exeter, and the harbour handles freight and passenger sailings. For crews, the practical win is a house with parking: one van, whole crew, no walking to a yard. We measure every option against your actual site before you commit.
The crew gets the whole property, not a block of hotel rooms. Bills - gas, electric, water, council tax, broadband - stand in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is confirmed against the vehicles arriving. Five or more people means two bathrooms. Weekly cleaning and fresh linen are included, maintenance is our phone call to make, and your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card with no booking fees.
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 about two hours during working hours, once we have the site location, crew size and dates. Every Penzance option we send is a whole house or flat at an all-in rate, so comparing options takes minutes rather than an afternoon of phone calls.
The shortlist typically runs across west Cornwall - Newlyn and Marazion along the bay, St Buryan and St Just toward Land's End, and along the A30 corridor toward Hayle. Tell us where the gate is and we'll rank everything by drive time.
Yes. We favour quiet residential streets, fit blackout-friendly bedrooms where we can, and arrange self check-in so a crew rolling in at midnight doesn't need anyone to meet them. Tell us the shift pattern and we'll factor it into the shortlist.
We speed-test broadband before check-in at every Penzance property, and if a house can't reach a workable speed it doesn't make the shortlist. Crews doing paperwork, video calls or catch-up training in the evening are covered. If your crew needs something heavier, tell us and we'll prioritise properties with faster lines.
Usually, yes - extensions are a normal part of contract work. Give us as much notice as you can and we'll confirm whether the same property can carry on; if it can't, we'll line up a like-for-like alternative so the crew isn't packing bags mid-shift.
One invoice per month covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen for your Penzance booking. It's a single line for your accounts team, paid by card, with no booking fees and no pile of utility bills to reconcile afterwards. Cost codes or PO references can be added to the invoice if your accounts team needs them.
