About
Set in the Great Durnford Estate, this boutique hotel and restaurant blends the charm of a former village pub with a refined dining experience. The client’s vision was to create a welcoming space for locals—whether stopping by in cycling gear or with dogs—while also offering elevated menus and a private dining room for special occasions. Our website design reflects this balance of cosy informality and stylish sophistication, with a focus on local, seasonal food.
The Brief
We were tasked with creating a full brand identity and website for this brand new boutique hotel and restaurant. The goal was to reflect the venue’s mix of rustic charm and modern elegance, while ensuring a smooth user experience that supports bookings and drives sales.
- Develop a full brand pack and brand assets
- Build a visual-led, elegant website
- Showcase all key areas: restaurant, rooms, and treatments
- Integrate simple, user-friendly booking functionality
- Ensure the site is easy to update
- Support sales through clear calls to action and intuitive navigation
Our Approach
Brand Development
We created a complete brand pack to establish a clear and cohesive identity. Working closely with The Great Bustard team, we developed a unique Great Bustard logo that reflects the estate’s character and countryside charm. The brand pack included a refined colour palette, typography, and visual assets, laying the foundation for a strong and memorable brand presence both online and offline.
Website Design & Build
We created a website that’s easy to navigate and focused on driving bookings. Clear sections highlight the restaurant, rooms, and treatments, with a seamless booking system and a user-friendly WordPress backend for easy updates.
The Result
The result is a refined, user-friendly website that matches the quality and atmosphere of the restaurant itself, offering visitors a seamless introduction to what they can expect on-site.
