Plockton, Scotland • Scotland
Plockton is one of the prettiest villages in the Highlands — Wester Ross, Scotland, IV postcode, on the sheltered shore of Loch Carron about six miles from Kyle of Lochalsh, just off the A890. KrewBase houses crews in whole serviced properties round the village and in Kyle — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested, parking checked against the vans, one monthly invoice. It's the base for crews working this stretch of the west coast.
Plockton itself is tiny — crofts, cottages and a ribbon of white-harled houses along the bay, famous for its palm trees — so crews are usually housed in Kyle of Lochalsh and the scattered crofting townships along the A890. Stock is a mix of traditional cottages and newer bungalows and semis. We shortlist for what crews actually need: parking for vans off the single-track roads, heating suited to the coast, and enough rooms that nobody's dossing in the living room.
Work up here is scattered but steady: the road and rail networks need constant attention in this weather — the Kyle of Lochalsh railway line runs right through — along with estate and forestry work, the harbours and marinas round Loch Carron, and building and maintenance for the tourism trade the village is famous for. Renewables and community energy projects across the wider Highlands pull specialist crews through Kyle too.
The A890 links the village to Kyle of Lochalsh, where the A87 crosses to Skye and runs south towards Lochcarron and on to Inverness. The railway at Kyle connects through to Dingwall and Inverness on one of the great scenic lines. Most crews drive, and distances up here are honest ones — we shortlist strictly by drive time from your site, because a map can make ten crow-fly miles look like nothing when the road takes forty minutes.
Whole property, one crew, no strangers. Bills — council tax, gas or oil, electric, broadband — go in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, with rural speeds checked honestly rather than promised, and parking is verified against your vehicles. Five or more means two bathrooms where the house allows, there's a weekly clean and fresh linen, and maintenance is our call. 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.
Two hours for a standard request. Give us headcount, vehicles and the site and we'll shortlist across Plockton, Kyle and the A890 townships with real drive times. Stock up here is thinner than the central belt, so for urgent starts it pays to call rather than email.
Usually in Kyle of Lochalsh or the townships along the A890, because the village is small and much of it is holiday lets. You get the same whole-house, bills-in setup either way, and a five-minute longer drive buys a house that actually fits a working crew.
We speed-test before check-in and we're honest about what the line delivers — rural connections vary, and we'd rather tell you upfront than have the crew find out on night one. If a job needs serious bandwidth for uploads or video calls, say so and we'll factor it into the shortlist.
Yes — rent, bills, Wi-Fi and the weekly clean on one monthly invoice, paid by card for account companies, no booking fees. Up here more than most places, that beats a stack of holiday-let receipts your accounts team has to reconcile at the end of every month.
No — no minimum stay, no minimum crew, no booking fees. A two-person crew on a short job gets the same bills-in, Wi-Fi-tested house as a bigger gang, and if the weather holds the job up we can usually extend without the crew moving.
We do. Boiler, oil tank, plumbing — your crew calls us and we get a local trade up the road, whatever the weather. The company never sees the invoice, and nobody's waiting weeks for a landlord who lives miles away to send someone.

If Plockton is short on the right house for your crew, Inverness is the obvious back-up, roughly 55 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Inverness page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
