"Kate is one of the original glamping specialists, having known Kate for 15 years I can honestly say she is one of the truly inspiring creatives of the outdoor hospitality
sector, always driving experiential tourism forward. She is a naturally talented and creative person with a lot to give and teach others in business, and how to get ahead of the game when offering something different. With her hands-on approach, flair for design, and a spiritual yet professional viewpoint, Kate is a great companion to have by your side.
Creative Hosts membership makes her advice accessible and affordable, as well as being a fantastic network, I'm excited to be a part of it and see it develop".

Kate has been a fantastic contributor and friend to both the magazine and the wider industry over the years, always bringing insight, expertise, and innovation to everything she does.
I have no doubt that Creative Hosts will be a huge success, and I wish her every success on this exciting new venture!"

"I started working with Kate 17 years ago at Quality Cottages and then to develop Quality Unearthed, a market leading agency at the time. More recently, we’ve worked together again on TreeDwellers, where her creative and practical input was invaluable. Kate has been at the forefront of alternative holiday experiences for many years now, and I can say without hesitation that her understanding of the elements that create outstanding guest experiences, places her as an industry thought leader. But she’s also hands-on with practical solutions, as well as full of creative ideas. Kate has always been a pleasure to work with and I look on with excitement to see Creative Hosts take shape and blossom.
Tim Rees, CEO, TreeDwellers Hotel, Cotswolds
"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 requirements, with enthusiasm! Chris and I worked with Kate 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, and 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.
Chris & Emily-Jane Tams, Owners, Mallory Meadows
"I first met Kate at a short-stay accommodation exhibition in London in 2019, as fortuitously both of our businesses were based near Glastonbury, we arranged for a paid advisory visit to Cossington Park to discuss tree houses, weddings and other projects. We then moved on to refurbishment projects of the two houses on my estate, Park House and Park Cottage which, due to the family connection (my family has owned the estate for 400 years) and historic nature of the properties and furnishings, required a sensitive approach. Kate produced comprehensive and sympathetic designs illustrated by mood boards, and sourced furnishings and fabrics, transforming both properties and enabling stunning photography to be undertaken. Over the years that I worked with Kate, I greatly valued her broad experience of the quality self-catering sector and found her to be always thorough, creative and professional.
Graham Wason, Owner-Guardian, Cossington Park.
"Kate’s knowledge, vision and experience were vital in TreeDwellers set up and launch phase, whether it was behind-the-scenes logistics or styling the treehouses for incoming guests, her attention to detail was phenomenal. She put systems in place, trained the team, and established the operational standards that still underpin the business today.
As well as efficiency, Kate’s vision paid close attention to the guest-experience, such as creating on-brand Christmas decorations from the surrounding woodlands, and her ability to balance creativity with practical business sense has given TreeDwellers a strong foundation. Much of our unique and successful model is due to her incredible work and ideas at its birth and I’ve no doubt that Creative Hosts membership will prove to be an invaluable resource for many hospitality operators.
Liz Marot, FOH Supervisor, TreeDwellers Hotel, Cotswolds.
"I have had the privilege of working alongside Kate and can confidently say she is one of the most knowledgeable and innovative professionals in the glamping and experiential hospitality sector. Kate combines deep industry expertise with a creative vision to bring about places that feel authentic and connected to their surroundings. This philosophy doesn’t just enhance guest experiences, it elevates them into something memorable, meaningful and unique. Kate’s ability to identify emerging trends and therefore develop commercially viable concepts makes her a trusted leader in this space. Beyond her technical skills, she is an outstanding collaborator who brings clarity, enthusiasm, and professionalism to every project. If you are looking for someone who can transform ideas into profitable, experience-led stays, Kate is the person to call, and a membership option makes her skills more accessible than ever."
