- This is an in-house directory of accommodation designed to cater for visitors looking for easy access to the Eden Project. In addition to offering a comprehensive accommodation database, this website provides a great deal of general information on the Eden Project itself and an extensive photo gallery of this popular and world famous attraction.
- This website has recently been given a “makeover” by the design team here at Connexions Web Solutions. The new look website is fresh and up to date with crisp, pastel shades and integrated imagery of the Eden Project itself. Although this site is not part of the official Eden Project’s web presence, the Connexions Eden Project Accommodation website maintains a standard of presentation and content in keeping with the status of Cornwall’s most famous attraction.
- The layout of the website has been kept simple by the designers in order to maintain focus on the two primary areas the website is concerned with; Accommodation and information about the Eden Project. Accessing the accommodation sectionis easily achieved through one of several navigation links.|The accommodation index page provides visitors with the option to narrow their search to the type of accommodation they are looking for, whether that is a hotel or guesthouse, self catering accommodation, B&B or camping. Again, selecting an option can be achieved through one of several easy to use navigation links. If preferred, the entire list of accommodationcan be viewed to evaluate all options.
- The directory layout is clear and easy to use. The options run in a list down the page, clearly demarked by shading. Each entry has a picture and brief description. Clicking anywhere on the text takes the visitor to a page dedicated to that accommodation provider. Again, the layout of this section is standardised for ease of use and comparison.
- Information on each provider can be found in the same location on every individual page. Examples of the information provided include price range, full contact details and a link to the accommodation provider’s own website. Each individual page on the Eden Project Accommodation Directorycontains an online enquiry form making it easy for potential guests to get in touch with their holiday accommodation requirements.
- Imagery is an important element of any website but is particularly so for holiday accommodation. Guests prefer to be given a clear idea of what’s on offer, both in terms of surrounding location and the internal facilities. The website provides three photographs of each entry on the individual page in addition to the picture in the main listing section. This gives guests a good starting point from which to make their choice. The ability to link to the individual accommodation provider’s website and to effortlessly request a brochure mean that additional information is easy to obtain.
- A significant proportion of the website is dedicated to information about the Eden Project itself. There are sections on how the Biomes were constructed, the project’s plans for the future and information on the project’s aims and objectives. This section of the website is rich in Eden imagery and contains an extensive photo gallery to allow visitors to get a taste of what the project has to offer. Overall, this website succeeds in providing a high quality holiday accommodation search service with specific links to a main holiday attraction.

The Tregorran

- The imagery on the website is stunning, matching the Mediterranean style of the hotel itself with views of the sun-drenched landscape. The website proudly flaunts the hotel’s accreditations with Cornish accommodation organisations and the AA.
- A page is dedicated to the hotel’s prime asset, the outdoor heated pool, but the website boasts generous links to a variety of holiday attractions which would be of use to guests with & without children who might be planning a break.
- A detailed booking enquiry form has been integrated into the site whilst full contact details are prominent on the hotel’s home page.
- The overall feel of the site is one of a welcoming atmosphere and high standard of care. Thought has gone into making the site user friendly and helpful, which bodes well for the reception guests would receive when they visit.
- The website makes it very clear that the venue is both suitable and welcoming for children which is an important factor for many people thinking of booking somewhere to stay.
- The Tregorran Hotel is an eighteen bedroom hotel above Carbis Bay. With a terrace, heated pool and direct access to the beach it has a great deal to offer holidaymakers visiting Cornwall.
