"Sarah has given us lots of clarity and great insights into lots of areas that could be the difference between progressing a plan that would in the long term harm the business and require u-turns that cost time and money, or setting it up with less unknowns right from the start. Having experience and insights to frame our plans and reduce risks has been extremely useful."

Mark K.

"Being able to tap in to Sarah’s knowledge and experience has proven to be invaluable. This is someone who has their finger firmly on the pulse of all things camping and glamping. Whether it relates to marketing, current or upcoming trends, financials or practical help, Sarah has always given sound, informed and considered advice and I could not recommend her business support highly enough."

Jo H.

"The Glamping Business Guide has been a excellent resource for me in the development of my glampsite. It completely covers everything. This guide has greatly prepared me for this business, so much I already won first place in a Startup Weekend! I’m almost there to begin the development. When my glampsite is open, I’ll run it with confidence thanks from what I’ve learned here."

Manolo R.

"With a background in business coaching, some heavy organisational skills and a major chunk of empathy I immediately commissioned Sarah to help me write not just one but X 2 business plans for both areas of the 43 acre slate quarry I had just bought. We looked at every aspect from planning advice and direct contact to topographical surveys, site visits, land management, access, plantation of my GLAMPING cabins, off grid facilities, insurance, budgeting on project management, cash flow and marketing. "
