Strathyre, Scotland • Scotland
Strathyre is a small village on the A84 in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs area of Scotland, in the FK postcode area, sitting between Callander and Lochearnhead on the banks of the River Balvag. It's a beautiful spot and a thin rental market — two facts that don't combine well for crews working around the national park. KrewBase supplies whole serviced houses for crews based here, with bills, Wi-Fi and parking included on one monthly invoice, so the accommodation is one thing nobody on the job needs to think about.
The village itself is compact — cottages, bungalows and a few terraces along the main street and up the hill — so crew houses are often just outside it, towards Callander or Balquhidder. Stock is scarce and mostly privately owned, which is why crews rarely find anything through the usual channels. We shortlist whole properties with trades crews in mind: parking for vans off the busy A84, heating suited to a Highland-edge winter, and enough space that wet gear dries indoors rather than over the radiators in someone's room.
Crews pass through this part of Stirlingshire for forestry and land-management work, maintenance on the area's many visitor attractions and paths, utility jobs along the glens, and construction work in Callander, Doune and the surrounding towns. It's a wide patch for a small village, so the sensible pattern is one well-chosen house and a van, not a different bed every night. Contracts run from a few weeks to several months, and a proper house makes that sustainable.
The A84 runs right through the village: south to Callander in about fifteen minutes, Doune and the M9 near Stirling within the hour, and north over to Lochearnhead and Crianlarich. Stirling is the nearest city, and Glasgow and Edinburgh are both reachable for bigger supply runs. Because the road is single-carriage through much of the glen, we'd rather check your actual site than guess — give us the postcode and we'll shortlist by honest drive time, including the tourist-season traffic that can double a summer run.
Whole property, whole crew, one invoice. Rent, council tax, utilities and broadband go in our name, and your company gets a single monthly invoice paid by card — no booking fees, no deposits-per-head games. Wi-Fi is tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against the vehicles you're bringing, and a weekly clean with fresh linen keeps the place decent. Maintenance is ours to sort, not yours, and there's no minimum crew or stay: a two-person job is as welcome as a twenty-strong crew for six months.
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.
Stock is thin, so it depends on dates — but send the site postcode, crew size and start date and we'll have an answer within two working hours. Where the village itself has nothing free, we widen towards Callander and Balquhidder and show you the honest drive times.
The village, Callander, Balquhidder, Lochearnhead and the glen roads between them, with Doune and Stirling further out. We shortlist by real drive time from your site, so give us the location and we'll tell you which side of the village makes sense.
Yes, but we check it carefully — the A84 is busy and on-street parking isn't acceptable for work vehicles. Every property we propose has verified off-road space for the vans and trailers you're bringing, measured against the actual vehicles.
Simple: rent, council tax, utilities and broadband are in our name, and your company gets one monthly invoice, paid by card. No booking fees, no deposits per head, and no chasing utility bills from a glen property at the end of the job.
If the property is available, yes — and we'll tell you at booking how likely that is. If it isn't, we'll line up an alternative nearby before you need it. Extensions just continue the monthly invoice; there's no rebooking fee or paperwork storm.
The site location, the number of people and their genders for room planning, and the dates. With those three we can shortlist viewed properties and give your company a firm all-in price within two working hours — anything less and it would only be a guess.
