Saasaig, Scotland • Scotland
Set on the Sleat peninsula at the south end of the Isle of Skye, Saasaig is a tiny coastal hamlet in the Highlands of Scotland, in the IV postcode area, a short drive from Isleornsay and Broadford. There is no hotel strip and no big rental market here, which is exactly why contractors use KrewBase. We arrange whole serviced houses for crews working across Sleat and south Skye — bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, one monthly invoice to your company.
Saasaig itself is a scatter of croft houses and newer detached homes along the shore, and the practical crew accommodation sits spread across the Sleat peninsula rather than in one street. Detached and semi-detached houses around the hamlet and toward Isleornsay suit crews well — driveways, space for drying gear, and neighbours used to work vehicles. Crofting township houses can be charming but tight, so we filter for real bedroom counts, a proper kitchen and somewhere wet kit can dry overnight.
We walk every property before shortlisting. On Skye that means checking the heating seriously — the peninsula is mild for the Highlands but windy and damp — plus water supply, broadband speed and mobile signal, which vary sharply between townships. Anything we offer has passed a practical checklist, not just a photograph review.
Work on the Sleat peninsula tends to be construction and renovation of houses and holiday properties, small-scale renewables, grid and broadband upgrades, and agricultural and estate building work. The Highland Council area keeps a steady flow of tradespeople moving through, and healthcare staff cover the peninsula as part of rota work across Skye and Lochalsh. None of it makes headlines, but it keeps crews here for weeks at a time.
The common problem is the same on Sleat as anywhere rural: a job appears, and there is no practical short-stay housing near site. Hotels are scarce and seasonal, and holiday lets rarely want a muddy work crew. A serviced house for the duration of the contract solves it, and that is what we arrange.
The A851 runs the length of Sleat from the ferry pier at Armadale up toward Broadford and the Skye Bridge, and most commutes here are measured in minutes rather than miles. From Broadford the A87 continues north up the island and south over the bridge to the mainland at Kyle of Lochalsh, so crews can reach the wider Highlands corridor without drama. There is no motorway on Skye and there does not need to be.
Because distances are short but roads are single-track in places, we shortlist by real drive time from your site, not as the crow flies. Tell us where the job is and what vehicles you are running, and we will place the crew sensibly for the daily run.
You take the whole house — no sharing with holidaymakers, no landlord on site. Electricity, heating, water and broadband bills sit in our name, Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, and parking is checked against the vehicles actually arriving. For five or more we look for two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place decent, and maintenance is our phone call to make, not yours.
Your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no per-person deposits, and no minimum stay — a two-person squad for three weeks gets the same service as a big crew for months. Send the site location, headcount and start date and we will shortlist within two working hours.
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. Accommodation for Sleat is spread across the peninsula rather than in the hamlet itself, and we shortlist houses by real drive time from your site. Send the site location, headcount and start date, and we will return options within two working hours — including honest notes on mobile signal and heating.
Broadford is a short drive north along the A851 — roughly fifteen to twenty minutes depending on where on Sleat the house sits — and the Skye Bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh is around forty minutes from the peninsula base. We use those drive times, not straight-line miles, when we place a crew.
Everything is in our name: electricity, heating, water and broadband, all inside the rent. Broadband is speed-tested before the crew arrives because coverage varies between townships, and we flag weak mobile signal in advance so nobody loses contact with the site office on day one.
Most houses in this part of Sleat are detached with driveways or generous kerbside space, and we verify parking against the actual vehicles before offering a property. Crofting township houses can be tighter, so if the crew is running two vans we simply rule those out.
Yes, that is the standard arrangement. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, cleaning and linen, paid by card, with no booking fees. Your finance team reconciles a single line per month instead of chasing utility bills from a remote township.
We do. The crew tells us, we arrange the local tradesperson and we pay the bill — boiler, plumbing, locks, white goods. It never lands on the foreman or the crew's expenses, and because we know tradespeople across Skye and Lochalsh, faults get fixed at local speed.
