GLAMPSITES What options do you have for small, medium and large budgets? Our huts come in a range of sizes from the smallest at 10ft x 6ft to the largest at 20ft x 8.37ft. Additionally, you can opt to have your hut delivered in its simplest form to fit out yourself or leave it to us to finish to the highest specification, complete with kitchen and bathroom, so that all you need to do is concentrate on the bookings. What is the estimated return on investment of your product? How much can be charged depends on several factors such as location and the quality of the facilities, however, existing glampsite owners are charging between £70 and £120 a night. When charging £80 per night at 70 per cent occupancy, a single unit grosses a return of £20,560 per year. With our Holiday Huts starting at £27,090, you could be in profit as early as year two. Please mention a glampsite that has installed your product Our most recent Holiday Hut went up to the stunning Glenwhan Gardens in Stranraer. Owner Tess has hit the ground running, and despite the fact it was in the coldest, wettest month of the year, already had guests staying in her new hut. I have no doubt that her venture will be a huge success. Nick Feeney, managing director One Night Stand Glamping 0203 7733101 www.one-nightstand.co.uk How can pod accommodation benefit a glampsite? I asked my clients this and the three main responses were: To extend their season, get a better return on their pitch or just to have a different offering. These are huge benefits of glamping pods in their own rights, but combined I think it makes it an easy decision. What is the USP of your product? All pod manufacturers will tell you their pods are the best on the market… What I can tell you is we most definitely aim to be. We only use the best materials for our pods to ensure they are fit for purpose and last the test of time. For example, all our exterior wood is either Siberian Larch or Western Red Cedar, which have a life expectancy of 40 years plus and require no maintenance other than staining. We also offer the most insulated pods on the market, with 150mm of Kingspan or equivalent throughout the pod. How can your product be customised or made bespoke? All our clients have different needs and requirements for their pods and while we have our standard range and sizes, we are also able to build to order. What options do you have for small, medium and large budgets? One Night Stand researched the marketplace and we found that site owners were frustrated at the difficulties of securing finance for growth. Therefore, we are the only company that offers three ways of getting a glamping pod. 1) Straightforward purchase, 2) Rental, 3) Try before you buy. All these options offer great value in their own right with our ‘Try before you Buy’ scheme being the most popular. What is the estimated return on investment of your product? This is a dangerous question, and many manufacturers give out misleading figures to their clients just to make a sale. The true answer to this is it really depends on your site facilities, location, surrounding area and how you offer your pod. It goes without saying if you have a strong offering then you are more likely to get a strong return. Please mention a glampsite that has installed your product Back of Beyond Touring Park in East Dorset has just taken delivery of some glamping pods for the first time. They are already looking great for bookings this year and furthermore can now offer a longer season due to the all year-round use of the pods. www.backofbeyondtouringpark.co.uk Will Vickery, director. Blackdown Shepherd Huts 01460 929 774 / 07711 489717 www.blackdownshepherdhuts.co.uk How can shepherd hut accommodation benefit a glampsite? Shepherd huts can be used as a luxury glamping retreat to give a real sense of intimacy and a high-end camping experience. Blackdown Shepherd Huts are specially designed to make the best out of the room they have to create something really special for guests. What is the USP of your product? Blackdown Shepherd Huts have the drop-down wall bed, which is unique and a great use of space. In addition, we add in all sorts of storage solutions and surprise nooks and crannies. We’ve also recently added a glass roof to some our huts for those who want to stargaze. Clad in our signature feather-edge oak cladding, or wriggly tin, our huts are made for generations to come. How can your product be customised or made bespoke? We offer all types of customisation and bespoke additions. Our Turnkey shepherd huts offer customers the opportunity to indulge their imagination and create their own cosy space, including all the extras like kitchens and bathrooms. Shepherd hut customers can make their huts completely individual to them and they can be as luxurious or as simple as they choose. What options do you have for small, medium and large budgets? As well as our bespoke huts in Turnkey, Heritage or Retreat style, we offer self-build options, which are available in a metal or oak chassis. We still work with customers to achieve their dream hut, and thus we have devised a hut build which allows customers to construct their own artisan hut, with 42 WWW.OPENAIRBUSINESS.COM
