Hotel & Hospitality
Nestled along the dramatic coastline of the Rhins of Galloway peninsula, Coorie Retreats offers a luxury glamping experience where guests can unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the rugged beauty of Southwest Scotland.
With guests often travelling several hundred miles for their stay, Coorie Retreats recognised the importance of providing on-site EV charging - enhancing convenience, supporting sustainable travel, and strengthening its competitive position within the luxury eco-stay market.

Importantly, the charging solution needed to reflect the nature of the retreat. Unlike high-footfall commercial sites, guests typically stay for a minimum of two nights, meaning overnight charging was the ideal approach.
“We’re always looking for ways to improve the experience for our guests while making thoughtful, future-focused decisions for the business. Installing EV chargers was a natural next step for us, and working with Connekt made the whole process straightforward from start to finish. Their team understood the needs of our site and our visitors, handling everything efficiently and with minimal disruption. The installation has already made a real difference — guests appreciate the convenience of being able to charge on-site, and it reinforces our commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking hospitality. For us, it’s not just about keeping up with demand, but about enhancing the overall stay and making Coorie Retreats even more accessible for modern travellers. We’re delighted with the result and the service Connekt provided.”
Connekt delivered a tailored solution designed specifically around Coorie Retreats’ guest profile and available power supply.

Where other charge point operators may have proposed infrastructure aligned with their own business models, Connekt prioritised what was right for Coorie and its guests. By working within the available power capacity and aligning the solution with overnight dwell times, we delivered a cost-effective, practical and future-ready system.
To further enhance the guest experience, charging is offered free of charge, reinforcing Coorie’s commitment to sustainable luxury.
Additionally, thanks to a scheduling opportunity created by a cancellation, Connekt was able to fast-track the installation, significantly reducing turnaround time for the client.
The installation has delivered both operational and commercial benefits:
By integrating EV charging into its offering, Coorie Retreats has created a more seamless arrival experience while reinforcing its sustainability credentials.
