Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 2026

At a glance

Our websites use a small number of cookies: those essential for the site and our booking system to work, and — only with your consent — cookies that help us understand how the site is used. You can change your mind at any time.

01

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences — such as a booking session in progress — so you don’t have to re-enter information as you move between pages. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways, and this policy covers those too.
02

The cookies we use

Essential cookies

These are required for the website and our booking and enquiry systems to function — maintaining your session, remembering your availability search, and keeping the site secure. They cannot be switched off, because the site does not work without them.

Analytics cookies

With your consent, these help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are read, how people arrive, and where they encounter difficulty — so we can improve the experience. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify you.

Third-party cookies

Some services embedded in our site set their own cookies — our reservation system (ResRequest) when you check availability or make a booking, HubSpot, which we use to manage enquiries, our payment providers when you pay, and embedded content such as maps or video where present.

Your consent

When you first visit our site, we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link in the site footer, and your choice will be remembered for future visits.

04

Managing cookies in your browser

You can also control cookies through your browser — blocking them, deleting those already set, or being alerted before they are placed. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site, particularly the availability and booking system, from working. Instructions for the most common browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Safari
  • Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
