🐝 WHY WE STARTED BUMBLEBEE ESCAPES…

Every business has a beginning… and ours started with two glamping pods, a holiday cottage and one pretty big question:

“What if we took it on ourselves?” 💛

Back in early 2024, we could see so much potential in what was already here.

So, after lots of conversations, plenty of ideas and probably a little bit of “are we actually doing this?!”… Bumblebee Escapes was born. 🐝

Since then, we’ve put so much of ourselves into making this little business our own.

We’ve learned as we’ve gone, made mistakes, celebrated wins, welcomed hundreds of lovely guests, introduced lots of changes and improvements, and somehow accumulated an ever-growing list of ideas for what comes next. 😂

But from day one, the goal has always been the same:

To create somewhere that feels homely, welcoming and genuinely cared for.

And we’re still only at the beginning. 🥹💛

For the latest entry in The Bumblebee Journal, we’re going right back to where it all started and sharing the story of why we started Bumblebee Escapes.

BEEHIND THE MIC — Episode 2 🐝

This time… THIS OR THAT

Same business. Same house. Same life together.

Different opinions or on the same wavelength? 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

From holidays and food to nights out, staying in and all the important debates in between… we put the mini mics back to work to see just how well Ben and I actually agree. 👀

Spoiler: not always. 😂
