Leisure and Tourism

We've had the pleasure of working with a number of clients in the tourism and leisure sector, including businesses offering hospitality, holiday accommodation and bed and breakfast. We've also worked with businesses providing leisure pursuits and activities.

Hospitality and Accommodation

www.dryisland.co.uk Dry Island is a beautiful island in Gairloch, Scotland and we've been working with Jess and Ian to promote their holiday cottage on the island for many years. As their business has grown we have added new information about their Shellfish Safaris and Fish Stall at Poolewe and developed multi-language content on their website.

Dry Island. A hugely successful rebrand, from low bookings to fully booked in 6 short weeks

www.framptonhouse.co.uk Frampton House is a five star bed and breakfast near Dorchester in Dorset. We've had the pleasure of creating and looking after the website for this exceptional B&B since 2007. In 2009 we launched the latest version of the site, with new text and images to show off the stunning accommodation and location.

www.higherholwayfarm.co.uk Higher Holway Farm was our second bed and breakfast client, following on from Dry Island. We created a site for them to advertise their wonderful bed and breakfast in Dorset. Helped by great photography of the beautiful farmhouse accommodation the site is a real invitation to stay in this luxurious B&B.

www.woodencabbage.co.uk Wooden Cabbage is a bed and breakfast in the heart of the peaceful Dorset countryside. Run by experienced restaurateurs Martyn and Susie Lee Wooden Cabbage is a wonderful house in a stunning location.

Leisure and Pastimes

This annual event takes place over the August Bank Holiday in the seaside town of Bridport in Dorset. Dozens of local artists open up their studios and galleries to the public in what has become a signature event for the town each year.

We've also provided photography for these projects which has been used many times since, not only in work we've designed, but also in other materials produced by the Museum, including their website. We also designed two books for publication for the Museum in 2007 and 2008.
