GLAMPSITES CASE STUDY Mount View Luxury Glamping With world beating views, this site lives up to its marketing photography Farmer David Wallis was inspired by a magazine to diversify with safari tents. He also added a shepherd’s hut and is working on a bespoke cabin at his Cornish site overlooking St. Michael’s Mount. A mix of accommodation helps attract a range of customer types but he has to be watchful of the weather! What’s your back story- your life before glamping? I was born and grew up here at Rose-in-Vale Farm. I have worked on the farm all my life and, although we have diversified, we still farm potatoes and other veg throughout the year. We started to diversify from traditional farming in 2014 when we put in our solar park. The glamping accommodation is situated in the same field. What made you decide to start offering glamping accommodation? Glamping came to me one afternoon in the summer of 2015. I was flicking through a country magazine and spotted safari tents. It inspired me and I really felt like this was something we could do. We have the land, space and one of the best views in the world. Once the inspiration hit me, I started to run with the idea. Two years later, in spring 2017, we were up and running! How did you research the business before entering it? Obviously the idea came from a magazine. We did our online research and attended both the Farm Innovation Show in October 2015 and The National Glamping Show the following year. Tell us about your location and site The site overlooks Mounts Bay and has panoramic views of St. Michael’s Mount. We are surrounded by some of the best beaches in Cornwall and the village we are positioned in is a perfect Cornish retreat. We have a small honesty shop onsite where guests can purchase any essentials. Both tents and the shepherd’s hut have their own private outdoor space and hot tubs. I would say the view is our best feature. To me it’s unbeatable, and many of our guests share the same opinion. However, due to the positioning of the site we are open to the elements. I think with any vast open view you have to expect a little bit of wind. We aren’t nestled in a valley, if we were we wouldn’t have our unique selling point, which is the breathtaking view.
