Cookie policy

Last updated 2 October 2026.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files placed on your device by a website. We use only what the site genuinely needs, plus analytics if you allow them.

What we use

Strictly necessary. These handle security, load balancing and remembering your cookie choice. They cannot be switched off and they do not require your consent, because the site does not work properly without them.

Analytics. These measure which pages are used and where people leave. They are set only if you accept them, and the site works normally if you decline.

Booking engine. Our booking engine, Hostaway, sets cookies when you use the availability search, so that your dates and guest numbers carry between steps.

Form security. Our enquiry forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a message is coming from a person rather than an automated bot. To do this it reads basic information about your browser and device. It is part of keeping the forms secure, so it does not need your consent, and it is not used for advertising or tracking.

What we do not use

No advertising cookies. No cross-site tracking pixels. We do not sell behavioural data to anyone.

Managing your choice

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.

Third parties

The fonts and images on this site are served from our own website, not by a third party. The availability search and booking engine are provided by Hostaway. Spam protection on our enquiry forms is provided by Cloudflare. Website analytics are provided by Google, and are set only with your consent.
