Y Felinheli, Wales • Wales
A port village on the Menai Strait in Gwynedd, Wales, Y Felinheli sits in the LL postcode area, a couple of miles from Caernarfon and directly across the water from Bangor. Crews working across north west Wales need housing with quick access over the bridges and along the coast. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats with bills in our name and one monthly invoice, for crews of any size and any length of stay.
Y Felinheli grew up around its port, so the village is tight terraces of former quarrymen's and shipworkers' cottages, with semis spreading up the hill and along the road towards Caernarfon. The older streets are narrow — pretty, but a van can be a squeeze — so we shortlist carefully, favouring houses with a drive, a yard or a corner a Transit fits on. Space matters here: a living room the whole crew can sit in, a kitchen worth cooking in, and somewhere to dry gear when the Strait weather closes in. Every property is walked before it makes your list, parking and boiler included.
We widen the net to the neighbouring villages and into Caernarfon when the right house is not in the village itself — the commute is minutes, and the stock improves. What never changes is the filter: honest parking, proper heating for a wet Gwynedd winter, and no holiday-let compromises. If a cottage only works in August, it is not a crew house, whatever the photographs suggest.
Crews base around Y Felinheli for work across Gwynedd: construction and housing development around Caernarfon and Bangor, utilities and grid maintenance along the coastal routes, harbour and marine trade linked to the Strait, and the trades that keep the visitor economy running through the season. Some crews work the bridges and the A55 corridor themselves, others cover sites from Porthmadog up to Anglesey. What they share is duration — weeks and months in the area, not a couple of nights — which is exactly when a serviced crew house beats a hotel on cost, comfort and parking.
The A487 runs past the village towards Caernarfon in one direction and Bangor in the other, with the Menai Suspension Bridge carrying crews onto the A55 and Anglesey within minutes. Bangor and the mainland are barely fifteen minutes away, Porthmadog around half an hour down the coast, and the A5 reaches Bethesda and the slate country beyond. The Strait can slow the bridges at rush hour, so we time the commute properly before shortlisting — and for crews on Anglesey or the mainland, a house here often beats paying island prices or city parking.
The crew gets the whole property — no shared corridors, no strangers — with council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband in our name. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is matched against your vehicle list, and for five or more we insist on two bathrooms. A weekly clean and fresh linen come as standard, maintenance calls come to us day or night, and your company receives one monthly invoice, paid by card. There are no booking fees and no minimum stay, and if the job runs long we can usually extend the booking without anyone moving digs.
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, headcount and start date and we aim to return a shortlist within two working hours. We shortlist by real drive time — the bridges can change the maths — and every house has been walked by us before it reaches you.
The village itself plus Caernarfon, Bangor, the Menai Bridge area and the villages along the A487 and A55, and we shortlist for sites across Gwynedd and Anglesey. Give us the site postcode wherever the job sits and we will work from drive time, not town boundaries.
The older streets are narrow, so we are strict: a drive, a yard or a verified corner before a house makes the shortlist, checked against your vehicle list. We tell you plainly what each property offers, so your lads are not shunting vans at shift change.
Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all in our name, so the crew never deals with a utility bill or a provider queue. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, any fault afterwards is our phone call, and everything rolls into one monthly invoice, paid by card.
Yes — the whole house is theirs, so odd hours disturb nobody. We take shift patterns into account when choosing the house: a kitchen worth cooking in at 2am, blackout-friendly bedrooms and quick access back onto the A487 or over the bridges to site.
The site postcode, how many people, roughly how long, and a vehicle list. With that we shortlist houses, confirm parking and send your company a single monthly rate paid by card — usually the same day you ask, with no booking fees on top.
