The Peacock
Country Inn.

A country inn whose food, rooms, and setting were already excellent. The website was not. We rebuilt the digital experience to sell the experience, not describe it.

Where they startedSection 02

A great inn, with a digital presence that did not sell what it was.

The Peacock Country Inn had every advantage a hospitality brand could hope for. Food worth driving for, rooms worth staying in, a setting worth photographing. The website did not show any of that. Guests arrived having read text. They should have arrived hungry, curious, and confident.

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

What we did.

Four pillars · phased delivery Identity → Architecture → Build → Capture
01 Identity refinement Discovery

A refined visual hierarchy around the existing logo.

Colour palette, typography, and visual hierarchy refined around the existing mark. The brand kept its character and gained the discipline it was missing.

Palette Type system Hierarchy Application rules
02 Architecture & UX Design

Pages structured around guest intent.

Stay, dine, meet, explore. Each audience gets their own clear path to the action they came to take. Booking and table reservations both surface fast.

Audience IA Stay path Dine path Meeting / events
03 Build & integration Systems

Bookings wired in. Internal team in control.

WordPress build with flexible content management for the team. Guestline (Rezlynx) integration for direct bookings. Email capture and analytics so the marketing surface earns its keep.

04 Photography & video Capture

Bespoke photo and film for the inn.

Coordinated photography and videography sessions to give the website real material to work with. Food, rooms, setting, and atmosphere captured at a standard the inn deserves.

The evidence.

Same component, two flavours Data when the story is in the numbers. Design when it's in the work itself. One, the other, or both.

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.
