The Challenge

The Peacock Country Inn is a well-regarded country inn set in the Chilterns, offering accommodation, dining, and corporate facilities. Despite strong fundamentals, its digital presence did not reflect the quality of the experience on site or support the business goals required to grow sustainably.

Hotel occupancy sat at approximately 50%, restaurant trade underperformed midweek and at weekends, and the website failed to clearly communicate why The Peacock was worth travelling for. Corporate guests, leisure visitors, and local diners were all being spoken to in the same generic way.

The challenge was to create a website that worked as a revenue-driving asset, not a brochure. It needed to build confidence, showcase food and accommodation properly, support both local and destination SEO, and give the team a platform they could actively use to promote menus, events, and offers without technical friction.

The Scope

Digital Brand Identity System

Refined colour palette, typography, and visual hierarchy around the existing logo.

Website UX & Information Architecture

Structured pages around guest intent: stay, dine, meet, explore.

Hospitality-Focused Website Design

Homepage and templates designed to foreground food, rooms, and setting.

WordPress CMS Development

Mobile-responsive build with flexible content management for the internal team.

Booking System Integration

Guestline (Rezlynx) integration with future migration readiness.

Local & Destination SEO Foundations

Dual SEO strategy targeting nearby diners and Chilterns visitors.

Email Capture & Analytics

Mailchimp integration, Google Analytics, and conversion tracking.

Bespoke video and photos

Coordinate photography and videography for the project

Homepage hero highlighting the inn, setting, and positioning.

The website needed to make people feel hungry, curious, and confident before they ever arrived.

Dining page with menus and seasonal promotion blocks.

The new website finally reflects what The Peacock Country Inn is about. It gives guests confidence, showcases our food and rooms properly, and supports both our local and destination business. It's become a genuine part of how we grow, not just something we maintain.
