Why Choose Glamping?
Thinking of starting a glamping business? You’re not alone. With rural tourism booming across the UK and demand for unique, nature-led stays at an all-time high, there’s never been a better time to turn underused land into a high-quality glamping destination.
At Heritage Glamping, we help landowners, farmers, and rural businesses launch successful, sustainable glamping sites — combining bespoke SIPS-built lodges, strategic planning support, and decades of marketing expertise. Whether you’re at the idea stage or ready to break ground, we’ll help you plan smart, build well, and grow with confidence.
High ROI
Investing in glamping pods can yield significant returns thanks to rising popularity. Enjoy a steady income from your property while enhancing its value.
Eco-Friendly
Glamping aligns with sustainable tourism. By creating comfortable stays in scenic environments, you contribute to preserving natural beauty while attracting environmentally aware guests.
Step 1: Feasibility & Land Assessment
We help you evaluate whether your land is suitable for glamping — looking at access, views, utilities, planning potential, and guest appeal. A site that’s picturesque, practical, and well-connected lays the groundwork for success.
Step 2: Planning Permission & Regulations
Glamping sites usually require full planning permission and a change of use (from agricultural to tourism). We support you through this process, working with trusted planning consultants and advising on layout, environmental considerations, and common hurdles like AONBs or Flood Zones.
Step 3:Choosing the Right Glamping Units
We don’t sell kits — we craft bespoke, SIPS-built glamping studios that are fully insulated, ensuite-equipped, and designed to last. Whether you want one compact couple’s pod or a multi-pod family site, we’ll help you choose the right mix, layout, and features for your guests.
Step 4: Build Timeline & Installation
We help you evaluate whether your land is suitable for glamping — looking at access, views, utilities, planning potential, and guest appeal. A site that’s picturesque, practical, and well-connected lays the groundwork for success.
Step 5: Branding & Marketing Support
Our founder, Sarah Barlow, brings over 30 years of experience in brand strategy and tourism marketing (including clients like GO Outdoors, Morrisons and DFS). From naming your site and defining your ideal guest to creating a marketing plan, we’ll help you launch with impact — and bookings.
The Financial Opportunity
Glamping can be a low-risk, high-reward rural business. Here’s what a typical 4-pod setup might look like:
Initial investment: from £180,000+ (including site prep, pods, and infrastructure)
Average nightly rate: £130–£160
Occupancy: 55–70% across the year
Estimated annual revenue: £140,000+
Payback period: Often within 2–3 years
We can help you develop a personalised business model, cash flow forecast, and revenue plan as part of our consultancy support.
