Before you spend a five-figure sum
Know the numbers before you commit the money
Buying a railway carriage or building a glamping business is a £30,000–£100,000+ decision, usually made on a spreadsheet drawn up at the kitchen table — or on no spreadsheet at all. These two reports give you the real cost, the real payback and a plain go / no-go, so you walk in with the numbers instead of a hunch. For the projects that need it, a bespoke feasibility report does the whole thing for you.
Get the numbers right
You know your all-in cost to the pound, the occupancy you need to break even, and how long until it pays for itself. You negotiate from a position of knowledge, spot a bad deal before you sign, and commit with confidence — or walk away and keep your money.
Guess, and find out later
Craneage, groundworks, utilities and change-of-use costs land after you've committed. The carriage that looked like a bargain needs £20k of work. The nightly rate you assumed never holds through winter. The single most expensive thing you can do is find this out after the money's gone.

7-day money-back guarantee
Open either report, use it, and if it doesn't give you a clearer answer than you had before, email within 7 days and we'll refund you in full. The risk sits with us, not you.
A note from us
We built these because we kept getting the same questions from people about to spend serious money on a carriage or a glamping build. They're the tools we'd want ourselves before committing. If yours throws up something you can't make sense of, reply to your receipt — a real person answers.
What buyers say
These reports are newly released, so we're not showing reviews yet — we won't publish a testimonial until a real buyer sends us one. Bought one? Tell us how it helped and we'll feature it here, with your permission. Until then, the 7-day money-back guarantee above is our promise instead.
Common questions
Do I need both reports?
No. The Carriage Cost & ROI Workbook is for the buy-and-convert decision; the Glamping Starter Kit is for running a stay as a business. If you're doing both, they work together — but each stands alone at £29.
What format are they?
Editable Excel (.xlsx). You type your own quotes and figures in, and every result updates automatically. They open in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.
How is the £350 feasibility report different?
The workbook is a tool you fill in yourself. The feasibility report is done for you — we build the model around your specific site and budget on a call, flag the site-specific risks, and give you a written go / no-go you can show a bank or partner. The £350 is credited in full against sourcing if you proceed with us.
