we have hundreds of wonderful emails and messages, but here is a small selection about kate's work...
Mallory Meadows, Leicester
Kate Morel is an energy source, she listens to your needs and using her wealth of knowledge she provides workable and practical solutions to your accommodation requirements, with enthusiasm! Chris and I worked with Kate in 2019 to add two units to our original 4 at Mallory Meadows, she came up with a superb Roundhouse design to suit our site and budget, working with a fantastic build team she delivered with style. Kate is willing to offer fresh viewpoints and encourages you to step outside the traditional, mixing old with new to produce a unique and personal blend for your customer experience.
We were delighted with her professionalism and commitment to the project and the end results speak for themselves, our customers love the round houses.

I consulted Kate Morel at the very start of my "glamping journey". She made her first visit to the proposed site early in my planning process and, as part of my planning submission, wrote a glamping market report that became a key document in the application.
Thereafter, Kate was with me every step of the way. Steering me in the right direction for the design of the cabins, the price point and the target guests.
The site has been a huge success and I have continued to regularly consult Kate when I am considering any changes. Most recently she revisited the site when bookings were slowing up last Autumn. She gave me some brilliant advice on both interior and exterior design enhancements. We implemented her suggestions and had some fresh photography taken. The results were great and the bookings started flowing in again!
Kate knows the glamping market inside out and back to front. Her expertise and advice has been, and will continue to be, invaluable to The Roost.

Working with Kate was a reassuring experience, I knew that Kate is well-respected in the glamping industry and has a great eye for creating a differentiated guest experience. So I worked with Kate on the treehouse and styling details, and she suggested signature features to create a WOW guest experience, like the suspended retro fireplace and stunning verdigris tiles in the shower room. It was important to us that the treehouse didn’t look like a hotel room or too curated from one brand, and we achieved a beautiful blend of vintage pieces sourced from local shops alongside the signature features and furnishings. All working together harmoniously to create a space that feels contemporary and luxurious but still individual and unique. The guests love it!
Kate is also a great sounding board and consummate professional. Thank you, Kate.”

It is rare to come across someone in business like Kate. She is warm, likeable and extremely knowledgeable. We contacted Kate to discuss our initial ideas for a new business that will offer blacksmith and crafting experiences. There was an immediate rapport between us, and from the go she gave us so many leads, insights, ideas, and contacts. The advise was encouraging but realistic. You really believe she has a genuine interest in your business and she clearly loves what she does. She’s a key part of our project, and we can’t recommend her enough.

In an industry that, in my opinion, tends to keep its focus too sharply on qualitative data, it was great to have some much needed focus on the numbers in your session at The Glamping Show today – thank you!

“Kate has really enhanced the whole cottage and her plans for the larger house are very exciting, and as interior designers go what a breath of fresh air she is, so creative yet practical.

​We just wanted to pass on our thanks for the time you spent with us and the knowledge, advice and experience imparted. We found your visit hugely useful allowing us to start to drill down on the numbers and the type of structure we should be looking to build.”
Mike & Carol
Suffolk Glamping
Just wanted to say a very big thank you for all your helpful advice and positive input. We will definitely be following up on all the tips you have given us to increase our direct bookings, Your knowledge, creativity, enthusiasm, and practical approach were such a boost to us as we felt we had lost our motivation and direction, but you have put us back on the right path to make our business really work for us and be a success. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who wishes to improve their business, once again thank you.”
Start Up Workshop
the workshop was really helpful in so many ways, among many other things it's got us thinking about our mouse and cheese!

Kate has a lot of experience which helped us a great deal when we were battling through planning, we had our hearts set on a less than straightforward site and had various issues to combat. Kate’s advice was really helpful and practical, and gave us incentive and encouragement to carry on working towards our dream site. We eventually got planning permission and have since worked flat out setting up the glamping and absolutely love our set up. Kate always was and is at the end of the phone if we need advice and help.

We hired Morel Co to help keep our glamping site fresh and inspiring. Their ideas and intelligent applications to our design have us excited for next spring’s launch!

New Site, Business Development
If you're looking for help/advice on your glamping business I would definitely recommend using Morel Company and booking a Business Development meeting with Kate.
We had an hour and a half with Kate where we discussed Business Plans, Marketing, quick wins, how to tell a story with your site from the beginning and much much more. It was absolutely worth every penny and has really helped us with aspects of our site that we hadn't even thought of! I feel so much more prepared to make a success of our business and have less concerns that were preventing me from moving forward.

Driving home I had my ‘eureka’ moment regarding my U.S.P, I also now have a business name which has driven me mad for the last 2 years!
I really think that was down to your workshop and seminars. I am now chomping at the bit and have to quickly get all these ideas down.
Thank you Kate for all your help, positivity and enthusiasm.

Since first meeting Kate in 2014 it was obvious that she knew her stuff when it came to the Glamping and holiday property sector. An absolute fountain of knowledge (and a wonderful sense of humour) ensures that anyone looking for the best advice to pursue their ambitions of creating a business in this sector is given the very best direction, tailored specifically to their business. I’ve lost count of the times Kate has given us valuable advice, anyone who is considering recruiting Kate’s services, my own advice would be… Do it…. and listen.
Gareth Edwards, Director
Start-Up Workshop at The Glamping Show
I arrived with hopes and dreams but no clue how to get it going – but I left with a much clearer view of how to start and shape my glamping business, which I didn’t think was possible in a couple of hours!
Thank you Kate!

Start-Up Workshop at the Glamping Show
This intro workshop put me firmly on track, I can’t wait for the full day workshop in October, going by today I’m pretty sure I’ll leave with a good chunk of my business plan! Many thanks, it was brilliant.

Thank you so much for coming to see us this week, your ideas have really helped us to shape our USP and guest experience... you've also given us a LOT to think about regarding maximising our ROI. We've had a real shot of motivation, yet your insights into potential issues and how much work is ahead have 'kept it real'!
