From Suits to Countryside
Stepping into the countryside, Mark and Dawn exchanged their corporate routines for a new, exciting venture.
Mark and Dawn’s Corporate Life
Mark and Dawn were once entangled in the corporate world. They worked long hours in bustling offices, their days filled with meetings and deadlines. But beneath the polished surface, they longed for something different. Their dreams whispered of open spaces and creativity. Have you ever felt that tug, urging you to break free and explore? That’s exactly what they did. Their corporate success was undeniable. Yet, a sense of adventure called them elsewhere. They needed a place that allowed for creativity and joy, a place to build something truly theirs.
Taking the Leap to Glamping
Leaving behind the comfort of steady jobs, Mark and Dawn ventured into the unknown. With courage as their compass, they began this new journey. The idea of creating a glamping site bloomed from their love for nature and nostalgia. They envisioned a space where families could bond over memories, surrounded by the charm of yesteryears. Building a business from scratch was no small feat. It required determination and vision. But Mark and Dawn were ready for the challenge. They invested their time and resources into crafting an experience that was both luxurious and heartfelt.
Finding Home in Wales
Their search for the perfect location led them to the serene landscapes of Wales. The rolling hills and lush fields seemed to echo their dreams. Wales offered not just a backdrop, but a feeling of home. It was here, amidst nature, that they found the ideal spot for their dream. With 9 acres of stunning countryside as their canvas, they set the stage for Let’s Glamp Retro. Their vision came to life with each step they took. The Welsh countryside became the heart of their venture, offering guests a picturesque escape filled with warmth and wonder.
Creating a Retro Holiday Experience
