His comment on not capitalizing on when kids are on and off from school says more about his character than anything. I wish hotels, airlines had the same values.

[@user-oe1mb9hu9i]

You wot ? .... totally agree with you and the remark from teh Dragons; you are not charging enough you should double your prices ..... Just goes to show who you are dealing with. They are like the airport dogs that have been trained to sniff out money. They smell and breath money. Its all they do.

[@stephenbaxter3369]

It's a different approach that appears to be working.

then they'd be booked ten years in advance and your kids would be grown by that time.

[@sharpeillusions]

Ok go to a holiday park in sept or any other time the kids are at school and you’ll find they’re dead! These business has literally 8weeks out of 52 to earn their money, same with sea side town local business etc the weather plays a big factor in British tourism as does the schools, don’t blame the parks blame the government for punishing you by taking you kids out of a school.

It's vanishingly rare to get an offer of the money for the percentage of the business suggested in the pitch. Sometimes it gets close with 2 or 3 dragons bidding against each other, but to get that from 4 dragons with Steven recognising he's not the man for the job is unprecedented afaik.

Spot on they all couldn’t care less about the business just about the profit projections, I really hope this guy doesn’t let that devil Deborah’s meaden raise the prices

[@kevparker4604]

As opposed to getting excited about a failing business with no revenue. Not sure if you’ve seen the show before, but they sort of invest in businesses that have potential to make more money

[@andrewjones-productions]

Glamping has taken off in a lot of countries, also here in Japan. The problem with it is that it is not really camping and all too often they charge the same as a hotel room (or more!) without the benefits of staying at a hotel. I have therefore tended to see Glamping as a bit of a fad and a flash in the pan. However, I think that where this business wins and has the potential to outlive the competition is because of the flat rate and that it is cheaper. The man has hit the nail on the head and I think, the first person to get it right. Well done and I hope that Deborah doesn't try to change that.

[@user-oe1mb9hu9i]

Hope.

[@eirebhoy132]

Where I’m from his rates still sound extortionate and the fact the dragons think he should double his prices is mad, £200 odd a night is crazy to essentially sleep in a tiny cabin in the woods, I rented a cottage on a lake last year for cheaper than that with all the same amenities that he provides.

[@awbox1]

Already been once and booked again for march, cant wait. Amazing place and the people are really friendly.

[@JazzyMarineVet]

Their website is Amazing! Colorful...i bet they spent 6 figures on the website, back end, digital engagement. Heck I paid $8K for a basic website for my business. Because this just aired today, its also having heavy traffic and the banner at the top says due to high traffic, its slower. What an incredible business, I wish this bloke and his family the best. It even says "as seen on Dragons Den" on the first page of the website, so I assume the deal went through due dilligance and legal hurdles.

[@4seeableTV]

The website looks nice, but it just seems like a template to me. And the background video that runs under the text is very pixelated. At least for me. Deborah will probably smooth out the rough spots with whoever she uses for web design.

Damn...I can build sites without templates including CMS. I should start a side business if that's what people are charging.

[@dominicharvey6048]

They say that he is not charging enough money, but he probably wouldn't be booked up fully for that next 18 months if he did

[@randomeyes]

maybe.. its about finding the optimal price...start high and drop...or have a bidding style system.. it will make boatloads either way...

[@thomaskoukouris4070]

thats the whole point, if you get booked so much it means there is huge demand for your product at that price. If profit is your main concern then you need to increase price to get maybe 3 months in advance offers, whatever maximises your margins. This bloke though is a good guy though and the world would be abetter place if there were more people like him.

[@webrevolution.]

It bothers me that this is so short. I hope they don't cut 5+ minutes from all the next episodes too. It's just too much of a shrink. I already know that each entrepreneur has about 30 minutes in the den and we only got to see less than half of that before. But now with less than one third, it's just way too short. Who are wanting to appeal to? Children with low attention span? I really don't get it.

[@winoseti]

we did the same never jacked prices at holiday time. tripled offseason and quadrupled repeat business. and really happy customers. sent people home with cash in their pockets. the neighbouring motels continually tried to poach customers but customers stayed loyal.

HIlarious how the Dragons faces go from delight to despair when he focuses on Deborah!🙃

[@skorpnikusclaw9516]

The show is heavily edited with different cuts to fill content, create suspense and drive the narrative foreward. Sometimes many of their facial expressions are taken from different moments of the show and thn are added accordingly (unfortunately becoming out of context.)

[@leegardiner1894]

Thanks you so much for not capitalising during school holidays. So many familys just simply can't afford to take holidays away from home during kids school holidays, because many firms charge 2, 3, sometimes 4x the amount during seasonal periods. It's pure greed and it only strengthens the rich/poor divide between people. If you take your kids on holiday during school time when it's cheaper and affordable, you get slammed with fines from the council. Also some jobs won't allow you to take holidays during school off times, or allocate holiday periods.
