Rame, South West • England
Rame is a small village in south-east Cornwall, in the PL postcode area, sitting a couple of miles from Saltash and close to the Tamar crossings into Plymouth. Country lanes, farm edges and newer bungalows are the local stock, and crews working around the Plymouth side of the border often base here. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats with bills in, Wi-Fi tested and one monthly invoice — from two people to a full squad.
Rame is proper countryside — a mix of older cottages, bungalows and scattered newer houses along the lanes between Saltash and the Rame Peninsula villages. For crews this often means smaller properties that work well for two to four people on longer jobs. For us the basics matter most: a working kitchen, reliable heating and somewhere dry for boots and PPE overnight.
Because stock is limited right in the village, we also shortlist in Saltash, St Germans and along the A38 corridor, where there are more modern estates with driveways, gardens and two bathrooms. Whatever we offer, parking is checked against your vans before you commit. Every shortlist comes with photos and an honest note on parking, so your office can decide without a site visit.
Crews here typically cover work across south-east Cornwall and the Plymouth area — construction and housing development, utilities and energy work, and support roles around healthcare and logistics hubs in the wider region. We've housed crews on every kind of job you can name, and the brief is always the same: near site, comfortable, sorted. Long jobs need houses that feel like home, not rooms that feel like a stopover — that's what we hold out for.
We're careful to place crews by real drive time rather than postcode. A house that looks close on the map can be twenty minutes down Cornish lanes, so we time the route to your site before recommending anything. Work across the South West moves from site to site, so we keep our lets flexible rather than tying you to one address.
Rame sits a couple of miles from the A38, the main route linking Plymouth and south-east Cornwall. The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint ferry crossings into Plymouth are within a short drive, which makes the village a practical base for crews split between the two sides of the river. If several sites are on the go at once, we'll aim for a house that sits sensibly between them rather than beside one.
Saltash is the nearest town for shops and the rail station, with services towards Plymouth and into Cornwall. For sites further afield, we simply shortlist by drive time and point you at whichever side of the Tamar makes the commute easier. Crews tell us the commute makes or breaks a placement, so it's the first thing we get right. A ten-mile country lane at rush hour is a different beast to ten miles of dual carriageway, and we plan accordingly.
You take the whole house — no shared corridors, no hotel per-head pricing. Bills including council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband stay in our name, and Wi-Fi is tested before check-in. Set-up is handled before check-in, so the first night in the house feels like the fiftieth. Set-up is handled before check-in, so the first night in the house feels like the fiftieth.
Crews of five or more get two bathrooms as standard, plus a weekly clean and fresh linen. Maintenance comes to us, and your office receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew size, no minimum stay. Rates are agreed upfront and stay fixed for the booking, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

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.
Rame itself plus Saltash, St Germans, Antony and the villages across the Rame Peninsula and along the A38. If the right house for your crew is a short drive away rather than in the village, we'll put it on the shortlist with honest drive times.
Usually within two hours of your enquiry we can send over suitable options with photos, parking details and drive time to site. Check-in is typically within a few working days of you choosing a property. The paperwork is straightforward: one agreement, one monthly invoice, no hidden extras hiding in the small print.
Yes — it's one of the first things we check. Rural properties can have limited or awkward parking, so we verify space for your actual vehicles, and if the lane won't take a van we don't offer the house. If the headcount changes mid-job, we adjust — adding or dropping a room is a phone call, not a renegotiation.
Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all in our name and covered in one monthly invoice to your company paid by card. No booking fees and no separate utility accounts for your office to chase. You get one point of contact at KrewBase from first call to final checkout.
Absolutely. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months. We match the property size to your crew rather than forcing a minimum booking, so you don't pay for empty bedrooms. You get one point of contact at KrewBase from first call to final checkout.
Usually yes. Extensions are common when jobs slip, and as long as the property isn't committed elsewhere we simply extend the booking and keep the same monthly invoice running. Tell us as early as you can. Nobody on site has to think about the accommodation after handover — that's the point of it.

If Rame is short on the right house for your crew, Plymouth is the obvious back-up, roughly 5 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Plymouth page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
