Project Brief

Carol and David contacted Digidol wanting help to create a new website for Plas Robin Rural Retreats that would better reflect the quality, character and luxury of their retreats in Mid Wales.

They already had a website that had been built using Wix, which had given the business a useful online starting point. However, as Plas Robin continued to grow, the existing site no longer fully captured the true beauty of the retreats, the story behind the family farm, or the premium experience they wanted guests to see before booking.

A key part of the project was also adding a new accommodation unit, Robin’s Nest, to the website. Alongside the existing retreats, including Tŷ Hiraeth, Llety Cariad and Shepherd’s Rest, the website needed to showcase the individuality of each place to stay clearly while building a stronger overall brand around Plas Robin Rural Retreats.

The new website also needed to integrate with a booking system that worked alongside platforms such as Booking.com, giving guests a smoother booking journey while supporting the wider operations of the business.

Project Overview

From the beginning, this project was about more than simply creating a new accommodation website. Carol and David had a clear vision for how they wanted Plas Robin Rural Retreats to be presented, with a focus on quality, comfort, family, countryside and the experience of staying somewhere truly special in Mid Wales.

The website needed to feel premium without losing the warmth and personality of the business. Plas Robin is rooted in family history, Welsh farmland and a genuine desire to share a peaceful part of Mid Wales with guests. Capturing that balance was an important part of the content and design process.

A major focus was expanding the website content site-wide. The previous site had fairly basic SEO, so the new structure gave us the opportunity to create richer, more detailed pages that could better target relevant keywords, improve search visibility and help potential guests understand the full Plas Robin experience.

This included creating dedicated accommodation pages, expanding the story behind the retreats, improving local area content and developing the Exquisite Extras section, which showcases the additional experiences guests can enjoy during their stay.

Website Build & Design

The new website was designed to create a more polished and immersive online experience. High-quality imagery, elegant layouts and carefully written content were used to showcase the character of each retreat while reflecting the peaceful countryside setting.

Each accommodation page was built to help guests understand what makes that space unique, from the design and facilities to the surrounding views and atmosphere. With multiple places to stay now available, it was important that the website made it easy for visitors to compare the options while still allowing each retreat to have its own identity.

Key features were clearly expressed through icons, booking buttons and simple calls to action, helping users find the right information quickly and engage in the way that suited them best.
The addition of Robin’s Nest was a key part of the build, helping the website reflect the full accommodation offering available at Plas Robin. The site was also structured to support future growth, giving Carol and David a stronger platform to continue developing the brand over time.

Using the booking system provided by SuperControl, we worked to integrate it into the website so that the user journey felt smooth and consistent. This allowed Plas Robin to benefit from a more professional website while still using a booking setup that worked alongside third-party booking platforms.

The website was also designed to be multi-faceted in how users could make contact or take the next step. Visitors can explore the accommodation, check availability through the booking system, use booking buttons throughout the site, or contact Plas Robin directly through WhatsApp for quick availability questions.

Content & SEO

A key part of the project was improving the depth and quality of the website content. Rather than relying on short descriptions, we worked to create pages that better reflected the experience of staying at Plas Robin Rural Retreats.

This included expanding content around each accommodation, the family story, the local area and the additional experiences available to guests, helping the website better reflect the full Plas Robin stay.

From an SEO perspective, the aim was to give the website a much stronger foundation. By expanding page content, improving structure and targeting more relevant search terms, the site became better placed to rank for a wider range of searches connected to luxury accommodation, rural retreats and places to stay in Mid Wales.

Ongoing Support

Since the initial website build, Digidol has continued to work closely with Plas Robin across wider digital marketing.

This now includes website updates, blogs, newsletters and social media support, all working together to continue building a stronger brand and community around Plas Robin. The aim is to not only promote the accommodation itself, but to showcase the wider experience: the people, the place, the extras, the local area and the peaceful lifestyle that guests can enjoy during their stay.

As the business continues to develop, we are always working to improve the website, expand content, support SEO and create new opportunities to promote Plas Robin Rural Retreats to the right audience.

Project Review

Plas Robin Rural Retreats has been a brilliant project for Digidol to be part of. Working with another small, family-run business in Mid Wales, especially one so focused on quality, hospitality and promoting the beauty of the local area, made the project a natural fit.

We regularly meet with Carol and David to discuss the digital marketing strategy and how we can continue to shape the direction of the Plas Robin Rural Retreats brand online. The new site now provides a much stronger showcase for the accommodation, the family story and the additional experiences available to guests.

Looking ahead, our focus is to continue supporting Plas Robin Rural Retreats through ongoing content, SEO, social media and email marketing, helping to build not just a website, but a long-term digital presence and community around one of Mid Wales’ most beautiful luxury retreats.
