Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate is a truly unique property set in 35 acres of private Estate grounds. The house goes back to 1480, and now serves as a beautiful boutique hotel, special events and weddings venue.
The mansion and estate had just been acquired by new owners when they approached us. The property did not have its own branding or website, as it was part of a collection of similar properties under the previous owners hospitality business. The new owners needed an attractive logo and website to help them establish their own brand identity.
We started creating a logo and brand identity that really followed the old Edwardian style and elegance of the property itself. Using an outline of the building in a classic illustrative style gave the branding a truly majestic feel. We also developed brochures and other marketing material to help promote the estate and new hospitality business.
The logo was illustrated from an angled view of the house. We wanted to keep in the classic details of the building but also to let it feel open and connected to the logo text, of these feelings came a very sophisticated linear sketch of the mansion house sitting on top of very spaced serif caps text. The text space leading allows the delicate illustration to come forward further in impact.
As the estate and mansion house used to be owned by royalty it was important to displays these roots in the logo, in a subtle way. Thin elegant lines, clean and spacious text and gentle colour tones all add to the grandeur; A quality experienced by any staying guest.

We built a stand alone website, with great photography, partnering with Chris Allan a local photographer and integrated a new room booking system we helped advise on. The website is responsive, meaning that it is mobile and tablet friendly, making sure it looks the best it can on any device.
As the new business was now no longer part of the previous owners hotel group they needed their own email and file storage systems. We helped them move to the cloud, setting up back-ups, email integration and network devices too.
An easy and lightweight mobile version with interactive menu
We customised the room reservation system to have the capability to add events and weddings. We included a customised Events Function Sheet Builder to help the staff plan the events in detail. We custom built a browser based solution that integrates seamlessly with the booking engine.
The branding and website has provided Carberry Tower with a solid base to grow the business from, standing out as an independent hotel in a competitive market. The rise in viewing statistics pulled from the website and the increase in hotel and event bookings have already made a huge impact. We continue to provide support under a retainer agreement - making sure everything is looking and functioning the best it can be for them.
