Web design for Lake District tourism & hospitality
Websites that win direct bookings across Cumbria
Hotels, B&Bs, holiday cottages, restaurants, and activity providers - your guests start their journey online. We build websites that turn browsers into bookings.
The challenge
Your guests start online
Before anyone picks up the phone or walks through the door, they've already searched, scrolled, and judged. A website that doesn't work hard for your business is costing you bookings.
Seasonal demand
You need to maximise peak-season bookings and fill those quieter shoulder months when revenue dips.
First impressions
Guests judge your property by your website before they ever visit. An outdated site sends them elsewhere.
Direct bookings
Every booking through an OTA like Booking.com or Airbnb costs you commission. Your own website keeps more revenue in your pocket.
Mobile visitors
Tourists browse on their phones while planning trips. If your site isn't fast and mobile-friendly, you're invisible.
We're based in Penrith and work with tourism businesses across Windermere, Keswick, Kendal, Carlisle, and the wider Lake District.
What we build
Everything your business needs online
From boutique B&Bs to busy activity centres, we build websites tailored to how tourism and hospitality businesses actually work.
Hotel & B&B websites
Stunning photo galleries, room showcases, and direct booking integration that lets guests reserve without leaving your site. Built to make a first impression that matches the experience you deliver in person.
Holiday cottage & self-catering
Property listings with availability calendars, guest reviews, and all the detail visitors need to book with confidence. Designed to showcase your properties at their best and reduce enquiry-to-booking friction.
Restaurant & café sites
Menus, reservations, location, and opening hours - everything a hungry visitor needs in seconds. Clean layouts that look as good as your food and work flawlessly on mobile.
Activity & experience providers
Booking calendars, seasonal availability, and group packages presented clearly so visitors can plan and book without picking up the phone. Perfect for outdoor adventures, guided tours, and leisure experiences.
Built for every kind of visitor business
The Lake District's visitor economy isn't one market - a hotel, a holiday cottage, and a café need very different things from their websites. We build for each.
Hotel website design
Every booking that comes through your own website instead of an online travel agency keeps the commission in your pocket. We build hotel websites for the Lake District that load fast on the mobile connections your guests actually have, integrate cleanly with your booking engine, and make “book direct” the obvious choice - with the imagery and room detail that listing platforms flatten away.
Holiday cottage websites
Letting platforms take a slice of every stay. A holiday cottage website with its own availability calendar and booking flow lets returning guests book you directly - and Cumbria's cottage guests return year after year. We handle the practical parts too: syncing availability with the platforms you still list on, so you never double-book.
Guest house & bed and breakfast websites
Small properties live or die on trust: real photographs, honest room descriptions, clear prices, and an enquiry or booking step that works first time on a phone. We keep guest house and bed and breakfast websites simple to run - update your rates and availability yourself, without a manual.
Restaurant & café websites
Visitors decide where to eat while standing in the street with a phone. A restaurant website in Cumbria needs three things done well: a menu that's readable on a small screen, opening hours that are actually current, and table booking that doesn't ring an unanswered phone. We build exactly that - wired into local search so you show up when it matters.
Seb has created our small bed and breakfast business an incredible website which has increased our direct bookings tremendously. Thank you so much for all the time and effort put in Seb and your dedication to ensuring our new website is the best it can possibly be. The feedback from our guests is that its brilliant, easy to navigate with great photos and information.
