Assumptions & Notes
Based on a 180-night season (April–September) at 55% occupancy — a conservative estimate for a well-marketed UK glamping site. Nightly rate of £140 reflects premium family/group yurt glamping pricing. The 6m yurt sleeps 5–6 and commands the highest nightly rates. Platform fees assume direct bookings; Airbnb/Booking.com fees may be 12–15%. Canvas replacement (~£800–£1,200) typically needed after 7+ years.
Assumptions & Notes
Based on 8 sessions/week with 16 attendees at £10/head, running 46 weeks/year. The 6m yurt is ideal for larger classes, workshops, sound healing circles, and breathwork sessions. Lower per-head rate reflects group pricing. Does not include private 1-to-1 sessions, workshops or retreats which could significantly increase returns. Hiring the space to practitioners at £20–£40/hour is also an option.
Assumptions & Notes
ROI measured as cost-avoidance vs hiring space at £150/day for 180 school days. The 6m yurt accommodates a full class of 30 children and is ideal for forest schools, music sessions, assemblies, and community events. Many schools qualify for outdoor learning or forest school grants (£2,000 offset shown). Additional value: improved pupil engagement, Ofsted-recognised outdoor learning, SEND-friendly calm spaces, and community lettings income outside school hours.
Assumptions & Notes
Rent saving based on avoiding a co-working desk or studio space at £500/month (varies by region). Property uplift is a conservative estimate — a well-presented garden room can add £5,000–£15,000+ depending on location and finish. The 6m yurt provides a generous multi-use space — ideal as a large home office, art studio, guest accommodation, or therapy room. If used for Airbnb, income potential is significantly higher (see Glamping scenario).
