Welcome Home

Back in 2018, we worked with newly-founded B&B, The Darling Suites, to develop their brand identity, build their website, and configure their booking system.

Four years later, they’d accrued a persistent stream of five-star reviews and their fair share of awards.Nevertheless, we’d been looking for an opportunity to revisit our work with new eyes, and in 2022, were finally given the opportunity to do so, orchestrating a total re-brand.

In embracing the B&B’s rural setting, our updated design vocabulary merges minimalism and naturalism to capture the suites’ elegant, yet cosy, country-inspired decor across an expanded catalogue of print collateral and a fully-integrated new website.

“What would we do without Hark Studio? They’ve totally transformed our business and given our website a much-needed breath of fresh air. Our little B&B now looks more like a 5* hotel. We can’t thank them enough for all the hard work they’ve done for us.”
