Prestbury, South West • England
Prestbury sits just east of Cheltenham on the Cotswold edge in Gloucestershire, within the GL postcode area. It's a well-kept village known for period stone cottages and smart semis, and it's within easy reach of Cheltenham, Gloucester and the M5 corridor. KrewBase places contractor crews in whole serviced houses and flats here, with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice for your office.
Prestbury itself is largely period stock — Cotswold stone cottages, Georgian terraces and older semis lining the village streets. Much of it suits smaller crews or longer placements, but parking can be tight on the older lanes, so we check it against your actual vehicles before offering anything. We've learned over the years that the right house makes a two-week job feel shorter and a six-month job feel workable.
For bigger crews we tend to look to the newer estates on the edge of the village and towards Bishops Cleeve and Swindon Village, where there are four-bedroom family houses with driveways and gardens. Every property we shortlist has to pass our basics: space to park, decent heating, and room for boots and kit inside, not in a hallway cupboard.
Crews work across Gloucestershire on housing development, renovation of older Cotswold properties, and local infrastructure jobs around Cheltenham and Gloucester. There's steady demand from the care and healthcare side too, with crews supporting NHS and private sites in the wider area. The mix changes with the seasons, but demand for decent crew housing around Prestbury stays steady year-round. When the project list is long, being well-placed between sites saves more hours than any other single decision.
Prestbury also suits crews covering work along the M5 and A46 corridors, or those rotating between Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury. Wherever the site is, we shortlist by real drive time rather than drawing a circle on a map. Long jobs need houses that feel like home, not rooms that feel like a stopover — that's what we hold out for.
Prestbury sits just off the A46 between Cheltenham and the M5. Junction 9 of the M5 is a few minutes' drive, opening up Gloucester, Tewkesbury and the wider South West. Cheltenham town centre is under three miles away. When we're not certain of a route, we say so and shortlist on tested drive time rather than promising numbers we can't stand behind.
Cheltenham Spa station is the nearest rail link, with regular services towards Birmingham, Bristol and London. If your site's anywhere along the M5 or A46, crews based here avoid the worst of the Cheltenham commuter pinch points with an early start. A ten-mile country lane at rush hour is a different beast to ten miles of dual carriageway, and we plan accordingly.
You get the whole property — no sharing with strangers, no per-person hotel rates. Bills go in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and we check parking against the actual vehicles you'll bring. The paperwork is straightforward: one agreement, one monthly invoice, no hidden extras hiding in the small print. Nobody on site has to think about the accommodation after handover — that's the point of it.
Two bathrooms as standard for crews of five or more, a weekly clean and fresh linen, and maintenance is our problem, not yours. You get one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew size or stay length. Set-up is handled before check-in, so the first night in the house feels like the fiftieth.

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.

Yes. We cover Prestbury plus Bishops Cleeve, Swindon Village, Cheltenham and the villages along the A46 and M5 corridor. If the best-value house for your crew is ten minutes down the road, we'll tell you. Nobody on site has to think about the accommodation after handover — that's the point of it.
Every property we shortlist is checked for parking against the vehicles your crew actually drives — vans included. Where the older village lanes won't work, we look to properties with driveways or garages nearby. If the headcount changes mid-job, we adjust — adding or dropping a room is a phone call, not a renegotiation.

That's how most of our clients work. We invoice your company monthly paid by card with a single invoice per property. No booking fees, no deposits tied up in expenses, and your accounts team deals with one supplier. If something's not right in the first week, we move fast to fix it or move the crew. Comfort isn't a luxury on a long job.
We do. If the boiler, a lock or anything else fails, your crew calls us and we sort the tradesperson. It never lands on your site manager, and it's never added to your invoice as an extra. Set-up is handled before check-in, so the first night in the house feels like the fiftieth.
