Contractor Accommodation Near the A303 at Stonehenge
The A303 past Stonehenge is one of the busiest stretches of the South West's main trunk route, and the long-running effort to improve it brings civils, highways and survey crews into a part of rural Wiltshire where long-stay accommodation is genuinely scarce. We house teams across Salisbury, Amesbury and the surrounding villages.
About working on the A303 at Stonehenge
The A303 around Stonehenge has been the focus of major road-improvement proposals for years, set against one of the most sensitive landscapes in the country, the road runs close to the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. Whatever shape the works take, they bring civils, surveying and highways crews into an area with very little hotel or long-stay stock.
Highways work in this corridor is spread along miles of the A303 and often runs under night closures to keep traffic moving, so crews need bases within a short drive of the works and properties where shift workers can actually sleep during the day.
Wiltshire's Salisbury Plain area has very limited hotel stock, and the military presence at Larkhill, Bulford and Tidworth already puts pressure on local accommodation. Overnightly sources fully furnished houses across Salisbury, Amesbury and surrounding villages to house your team within easy reach of the works.

Flexible Scaling
Highways works run in phases and workforce numbers change. We scale accommodation up and down to match, with no penalties for reducing on 14 days notice.
From £25 Per Person Per Night

Working on the A303 corridor
The A303 is the main southwest trunk route and one of the most studied road corridors in the country, with a long programme of improvement schemes, dualling proposals and maintenance works along its length, including the well-known plans around Stonehenge. Whatever form individual schemes take, the corridor generates steady highways work: surveys and ground investigation, utilities, structures, resurfacing and junction upgrades.
It is rural highways work at its most typical, sites strung along miles of carriageway, night closures to keep traffic moving, and crews based out of small Wiltshire and Somerset towns where long-stay accommodation is scarce.
How we house highways crews
We house gangs in Salisbury, Andover and the surrounding towns, in houses chosen for van parking and for quiet daytime sleeping when the programme runs night closures. Survey and GI teams on short visits get flexible short stays; main-works gangs get settled houses for the duration.
Billing is consolidated to one company invoice, and stays flex with traffic-management phasing.
Frequently asked questions
