“The snuggest shepherd’s huts in the UK”

Perched high up on the Mendip Hills with views across to Glastonbury Tor, these two shepherd’s huts – fondly named Len and Ted – are handcrafted to make best use of space without compromising on comforts, from an en-suite shower and flushing toilet to central heating, WiFi, TV and even mood lighting. Guests at Ted can even charge their electric vehicle thanks to a three-pin socket next to the hut.

The Business Of Glamping And Unique Holiday Rentals: #059 After 10 years in the glamping industry, this is one owner’s revelation

Always take the time to hunt out the experts and speak with those who are generous enough to share their expertise in the industry. Especially when they have been working within it for so many years. This is why I was happy to welcome Phil Russell from Tor View Shepherds Huts in Somerset onto the show.

In this episode, Phil shares his insights into the industry and the typical glamping guest. He also talks about the thing that surprises him the most about some guests that stay with him. Having been in business for 10 years now, he discusses the top things that have led to his success and how his determination was key. He also talks about maintaining his team and how he has built it to support him where he needs it most. Phil finally shares what he would do first if he was starting from scratch again and how having a seasonal lifestyle business really works with his personal passion to travel.
