PEOPLE where possible, we have chosen to work with and support local businesses. We encourage our guests to do the same.” THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING After test driving with groups of mountain bikers and friends, the Roost launched. Feedback from guests has been very positive with useful suggestions. Guests are also asked to leave reviews via the booking site and/or Google. “We had a great stay at The Roost and can't wait to return. The cabins are thoughtfully designed and beds extremely comfortable. The cabin was cosy and warm even in the January weather,” said Chloe, Bristol. “A little gem nestled in a Welsh hillside. Brand new shared facilities and the kitchen! Best camping kitchen ever,” said Scott from Preston who stayed in his campervan with his son. Having opened in October 2019, bookings are looking positive for <strong>2020</strong> with most weekends in quarter one already booked up. THE FUTURE’S BRIGHT With the Roost still a fledgling, there are plenty of opportunities for it to fulfil its booking potential. On site there are plans to install solar panels on the facilities building and green roofs on the cabins. There’s still some landscaping and planting to be done and, with the opportunity to add more cabins and the planning permission for the conversion of Ash Villa and the garage into a bunkhouse, the Roost has a great deal of future potential.
