How The Barns at Blackwater Meadow boosted ADR & guest reviews using LiBi’s premium hospitality sourcing

Dec 4, 2025

At LiBi, we’re passionate about helping hospitality businesses elevate their guest experience while driving stronger commercial performance. One of our standout collaborations is with The Barns at Blackwater Meadow, a stunning collection of luxury lodges where thoughtful design, comfort and attention to detail take centre stage.

The Challenge: Premium Vision, Small Team
Expanding a high-end lodge business is exciting - but it comes with its challenges.
Samantha Rowley, Director of Operations, needed to source premium furniture, décor, linens, toiletries and dog amenities across both new developments and existing lodges. Without a full procurement team, this meant juggling multiple suppliers, inconsistent pricing and significant admin time.

At the same time, guest expectations were rising. To maintain their five-star reputation and increase ADR, The Barns needed a partner who could help deliver consistent, elevated, premium guest experiences.

The LiBi Solution
Samantha partnered with LiBi to streamline procurement and elevate product quality across the portfolio. Working closely with our expert buyers, The Barns now sources:

  • Libra furniture and statement décor
  • Tielle Love Luxury throws, cushions and bedding
  • L’OCCITANE toiletries for a spa-like experience
  • Sir Woofchester dog treats & accessories
  • Seasonal décor and guest-experience upgrades

All sourced at trade pricing, all delivered seamlessly, and all managed through our integrated platform.

Effortless Replenishment & New Revenue Streams
LiBi manages regular restocks of toiletries, linens, amenities and décor - saving the team countless hours and keeping every lodge consistent.

We also built and operate their bespoke “Shop Your Stay” e-commerce store, allowing guests to buy the products they love during their visit. For The Barns, this means a brand-building experience and an additional revenue channel with zero operational burden.

The Results
Since partnering with LiBi, The Barns at Blackwater Meadow has achieved:

  • More consistent, elevated lodge interiors
  • Higher ADR and increased guest satisfaction
  • A surge in 5-star reviews mentioning product quality
  • Streamlined operations and reduced admin time
  • New revenue through their online shop

A beautifully executed partnership - and a perfect example of how premium sourcing drives premium stays.
