Accommodation for film & TV production crews in South Wales
South Wales has become a major production hub — the Cardiff studio operations, the BBC Drama Village, and a growing number of shoots using the distinctive valley landscapes for period and contemporary drama. Our houses in Pentre and Plasmarl provide a quiet, practical base for production crew on 4–8 week shoots: individual beds, fast Wi-Fi, full self-catering kitchens, and corporate invoicing that works for a production's accounts team.
Who we host
- Location crew & art department
- Camera, grip & lighting teams
- Production managers & coordinators
- Hair, make-up & costume departments
- DoPs & focus pullers on extended contracts
A quiet base away from base camp
Whole houses on residential streets — crew get individual beds and a proper kitchen. Room sharing depends on the house and crew size.
Fast Wi-Fi for call sheets and dailies
Every house has fast broadband — essential for production coordinators sending call sheets, script updates and review links late into the evening.
Close to valley and Cardiff studio locations
Pentre is deep in the Rhondda — sought-after valley streetscapes and hillside locations on the doorstep. Cardiff city centre and the studios are around 40 minutes by car, a standard crew commute.
Corporate lets that fit a production's finance model
One invoice to the production company per week or month — far simpler for a production accountant than claiming back hotel receipts across a department.
