Cabin crew
A farm in rural Staffordshire has selected various products from ClickSmart+, part of the Scolmore group, to kit out a series of bespoke, hand-built waterfront holiday cabins.
Bob Holmes was looking to diversify his business operations and made the decision to put some of the 270 acres of land that he used for bull rearing and arable farming to an alternative use. Having turned a pond on his land into a huge lake filled with trout and carp a few years ago, this seemed the perfect location for some holiday cabins.
Aiming to create bespoke, luxury cabins with a difference, the owner wanted to offer smart home technologies which would capture energy efficiencies in their operation and application. A priority was the ability to plan around bookings to ensure that lighting and heating were on upon guests’ arrival and that there was controllability of heating on demand – with remote control and access to systems where guests may have difficulty, an important consideration.
The solution was found in Scolmore’s Click Smart+ range of smart home products. With three of the luxury lakeside cabins now fully operational and welcoming visitors, work is continuing to complete the remaining properties which will be finished in the next six months.
