Strachur, Scotland • Scotland
Strachur sits on the east shore of Loch Fyne in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, in the PA postcode area — a small village on the A83 between Inveraray and Lochgilphead. Crews working across Argyll's forestry, marine and energy contracts need a proper base, not a caravan or a box room. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses and flats in and around the village, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking included and one monthly invoice, so whether it's two people for a fortnight or twenty for six months, the accommodation is sorted.
Housing around Strachur is a mix of whitewashed stone cottages and bungalows along the loch shore, mid-terrace houses in the village itself and scattered semi-detached homes in the surrounding hamlets. Stock is thin and often let privately, which is why crews struggle to find anything that suits them directly. We shortlist properties that actually work for trades crews: off-road parking for vans, space to dry wet gear, a proper kitchen and enough bedrooms that people aren't doubling up after a long shift.
Crews book into this part of Argyll for work spread across a wide area rather than one site. That typically means forestry and land management, marine and aquaculture support work around the lochs, and maintenance and construction jobs on homes and hospitality buildings along the coast. Energy and grid projects elsewhere in Argyll also pull tradespeople through the village. Because contracts here run from weeks to months rather than days, having a settled crew house beats a run of B&B rooms every time.
Strachur sits directly on the A83, the main road down the Cowal shore of Loch Fyne, with Inveraray a short run north and Lochgilphead to the south. The A815 heads north from the village towards Dunoon and the Arrochar road. For crews based further afield we shortlist by drive time from the actual site rather than guessing: tell us where the job is and we'll check the morning run before you commit, so nobody is facing an hour and a half over the Rest and Be Thankful when a house twenty minutes closer would do.
Every property is let as a whole house or flat, not by the room. Bills are in our name — council tax, utilities, broadband — and the Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in. Parking is checked against the actual vehicles on the job, and for crews of five or more we aim for two bathrooms as standard. A weekly clean and fresh linen keep the place decent, and any maintenance goes straight to us, not to your team. You get one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees and 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.
Send the site postcode, crew size and dates and we'll have a shortlist back within two working hours. We hold the search while you decide, and most crews are checking in within a few days of confirming. For urgent starts we prioritise properties that are ready to go that week.
Beyond the village itself we cover the Loch Fyne shore in both directions — towards Inveraray, Cairndow and Lochgilphead — plus the smaller communities along the A815 and A886 corridors. If the drive to site is sensible we'll consider it, so tell us where the job is and we'll widen or narrow the search.
Parking is checked against your actual vehicles before we propose a property — van lengths, trailers, the lot. We rule out anything without off-road space, because a trades crew without somewhere to put the van isn't a solution, it's another problem.
All bills — rent, council tax, utilities, broadband — run through us and arrive on one monthly invoice addressed to your company. Payment is by card come as standard, and there are no booking fees or service charges hidden on the end.
Yes. There's no minimum crew size or minimum stay — two people on a short job are as welcome as a large crew on a long one. The rate is the same per property regardless of how many beds you fill.
Three things: the site postcode or location, the number of people and their genders (for room planning), and the start and end dates. With that we can shortlist real properties and give you a firm price rather than a guess.
