Travelnest advertises the five glamping units on 30+ popular channels, as well as coordinating calendars and managing enquiries, bookings and payments. In its first year of operation, Westcote Glamping became a successful business by reaching more guests with Travelnest.

Annette launched Westcote Glamping in 2019. With Travelnest by her side, she’s gone from strength to strength, expanding the glamping business and offering luxury holiday lets. Watch the video and learn more.

Without Travelnest, my business would never be as successful as it is now.

Annette and Drew run a busy sheep farm alongside their glamping business, so time is at a premium. Adding another business to the mix had become time-consuming and stressful, but Travelnest was able to remove much of this stress and save them a lot of time.

Annette decided to work with Travelnest because they were able to help with key tasks:

  • Setting up high-quality listings for the five units on multiple channels


  • Coordinating calendars across the major booking sites


  • Dealing with all guest enquiries, managing bookings and payments
    This gives Annette time to focus on giving her guests a unique experience.

The biggest difference in working with Travelnest is that it has given me a bit of life back. If I was doing it all myself I’d spend all my time marketing the five properties.

Reduce, recycle, reuse

Reduce, recycle, reuse

Reduce, recycle, reuse

The mantra Annette and Drew have for their business is to reuse, recycle and reduce their impact on the environment.

Each unit is unique, from the handcrafted gypsy caravans to the original showman’s hut. They are all second hand and upcycled, often using local craftsmen with specialist skills.

Annette made all the soft furnishings herself and sourced vintage and upcycled furniture too. This approach has become an important selling point for attracting guests.

Calendar sync

Annette was particularly worried about double-bookings and people turning up when they were already fully booked, but Travelnest completely eliminated this. The Travelnest calendar syncs across all listings meaning that availability is instantly updated across all channels.

One place to manage everything

Although Annette wanted more visibility on more sites, the extra work involved in organising new listings for five different properties was a concern.

Travelnest made this easy – she simply added her property information to her account and Travelnest used it to build optimised listings on 30+ sites like Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and more.

Bookings on tap

Working with Travelnest has given Annette peace of mind and helped her make a success of her business.
