Peterhead, Scotland • Scotland
Peterhead is the biggest town in Buchan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland — AB postcode, around thirty miles north of Aberdeen on the A982 and A90 loop, and long known as one of Europe's major fishing ports. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced properties here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, parking matched to the vans, one monthly invoice. It's the base for crews on the Buchan coast and the town's port and energy work.
Peterhead's housing is a working mix: sturdy granite terraces and council semis through the older parts round the harbour, bigger post-war estates inland, and newer developments on the town's edges. Crews usually do best in the semis and edge estates — driveways for vans, room to spread kit out, and quick access to the harbour and industrial areas. We filter on parking, bathroom count and heating, and we don't shortlist anything with a shared entrance or resident-only bays.
The harbour drives the economy: fishing, fish processing and the marine trades that serve the fleet, plus the harbour-side industry that comes with a working port. Around that there's energy work on the Buchan coast, housing development and refurbishment across the town, healthcare cover, and the schools, roads and public buildings that keep maintenance gangs busy. Crews based here also cover Fraserburgh and the surrounding coast.
The A982 loops the town towards the A90, which runs south past Ellon to Aberdeen in around three-quarters of an hour, while Fraserburgh lies up the coast to the north. Local sites are mostly minutes away, and the harbour, industrial estates and the town's edges are all a short drive from any of our shortlists. If your site is further afield — Aberdeen, Ellon, the coastal villages — we shortlist by drive time from the gate so the commute stays honest.
One crew, whole property, no strangers sharing. Bills — council tax, gas, electric, broadband — go in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is checked against your actual vehicles. Five or more in the house gets two bathrooms, a weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place decent, and maintenance calls come to us day or night. Your office sees one monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum crew 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.
Within two hours for a standard request. Send headcount, vehicle sizes and the site postcode and we'll return vetted Peterhead houses with real drive times — including the practical bits, like how long the harbour or the industrial areas take in the morning.
Yes — Fraserburgh, Ellon, Mintlaw and the coastal villages are all in our usual shortlists. We shortlist by drive time from your site, so if the job sits up the coast we'll send houses from that direction rather than making the crew commute through from Peterhead every day.
We check parking against your actual vehicles before you book — van sizes, trailer if you've got one. The semis and edge estates around Peterhead usually have driveways, but we verify rather than hope, and anything without honest space is cut from the list.
Yes — one monthly invoice covering rent, all bills, Wi-Fi and the weekly clean, paid by card for account companies. No booking fees, no end-of-month receipt-chasing from guest houses, and your accounts team deals with one supplier for the whole booking.
No issue — the crew has the whole house, so early starts and late landings don't disturb anyone. We note shift patterns on the booking so cleaning visits land at sensible hours, and we ask about blackout-friendly rooms before shortlisting for shift crews.
Four things: headcount, job length, site location and the vehicles you're bringing. With those we'll send a shortlist of whole properties with real drive times and one monthly rate — no phoning round B&Bs with half of them full of tourists all summer.
