Stonehaven, Scotland • Scotland
Stonehaven is a harbour town on the Aberdeenshire coast, Scotland, in the AB39 postcode area, sitting on the A90 roughly fifteen miles south of Aberdeen. KrewBase arranges whole serviced houses here for crews working between the city and the surrounding coastal towns — bills, Wi-Fi and parking included, one monthly invoice for your company, and no minimum crew size or stay.
Stonehaven's housing climbs from the old harbour up the hill: fishermen's cottages and stone terraces near the seafront, Victorian villas along the main streets, and broad twentieth-century estates on the higher ground around the town. For crews, the upper estates are usually the pick — semis and detached houses with driveways, gardens, and easy van parking — while harbour cottages look wonderful but can be short on bathrooms and drying space.
We check heating and hot water carefully; the North Sea coast earns its reputation in January, not July. Every shortlisted house has verified parking for the actual vehicles, broadband speed-test results, and, for crews of five or more, two bathrooms. Stonehaven rents run lower than Aberdeen's, which suits longer contracts.
Crews base in Stonehaven for construction and refurbishment across the town and the villages south of Aberdeen, for harbour and marine-related maintenance, and for the rolling utility, grid and telecoms contracts that serve the coastal corridor. The A90 corridor carries steady infrastructure work, and healthcare rotas draw staff to services along the coast and into Aberdeen.
The town is also a practical dormitory for jobs in the southern suburbs of Aberdeen itself — close enough for a short commute, far enough to avoid city rents and city parking. We regularly house crews whose site is technically in Aberdeen but who are better off here.
The A90 is the spine: north into Aberdeen in around twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic, south toward Laurencekirk and the Angus towns. Stonehaven has its own rail station on the Dundee–Aberdeen line, so crews can arrive by train, and the harbour road links the old town to the modern estates in minutes.
Within town the hill is the main constraint — a house that looks close on the map can be a stiff walk up from the seafront. We shortlist by real drive time and parking, and if your crew is working in Aberdeen itself we will say honestly whether a Stonehaven base or a city base serves the job better.
You take the whole house, with electricity, heating, water, council tax and broadband in our name and inside the rent. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against the crew's vehicles, and five or more means two bathrooms. A weekly clean with fresh linen is included, and maintenance is our problem — report it, we fix it, nobody reclaims a penny.
Your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no minimum crew or stay, and extending is normally a quick conversation. Send the site postcode, 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, and for jobs on the south side of Aberdeen it is often the smarter choice — shorter commutes than expected, lower rents than the city, and driveways instead of parking fights. We shortlist by real drive time from your site, so send the postcode and we will tell you which side of the A90 works best.
The A90 run is roughly fifteen miles — around twenty to thirty minutes depending on where in the city the site sits and the time of day. Stonehaven also has a rail station on the Dundee–Aberdeen line, which helps crews arriving without vehicles.
Yes — electricity, heating, water, council tax and broadband are all in our name and inside the rent. Broadband is speed-tested before check-in. A coastal winter is hard on houses, so we also check the heating system and hot water capacity before any crew commits.
On the upper estates, usually yes — semis and detached houses with driveways are common, and we verify parking against your vehicles before offering anything. The harbour cottages are the exception: lovely, but tight. For van crews we steer toward the higher ground and say so plainly.
Standard practice. One monthly invoice covers rent, bills, the weekly clean and linen paid by card, with no booking fees or per-person deposits. Your finance team handles a single line per month.
Tell us and we extend the same house on the same terms — a quick email normally does it. Coastal contracts slip with weather and deliveries more than most, so we build that flexibility in from the first booking rather than charging for it later.
