Stately homes are unique in the way that they already hold an element of prestige and reputation, meaning simply providing accommodation and great service will guarantee guest visits and repeat visits. However if you could offer a lead generator such as a wedding venue or a team building facility then you will become more desirable to a larger audience.
The Glamping business model is perfect for easy expansion, adding value and (with the appropriate accommodation) can be operated all year round. It is low maintenance (once setup) and the amount you earn is in your control.
So, how much can you earn?
Assuming a nightly tariff of £65 for a canvas product in a summer season of 90 nights an income of £5,850 could be achieved per unit. Thats £35,600 for 6 tents / unit.
A 4 season unit (Explorer cabin or similar) at a tariff of £140 per night and a low occupancy rate of 27% could achieve around £14,000 per unit (higher occupancy rates should be achievable).

The initial investment differs from site to site, this depends on infrastructure, type of accommodation etc… You will also need planning permission (if you don’t have it already) this is something Start A Glamping Site can also offer.
There are numerous ways to get involved in glamping, and large investments aren’t always the best way to get started. To get the process started or to learn more, Get in Touch.
