1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be ‘session cookies’ (which expire when you close your browser) or ‘persistent cookies’ (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting (‘first-party cookies’) or by third-party services that the website uses.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Ensure the website functions correctly
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
• Support our booking and enquiry forms
• Enable integrations with third-party services such as Hospitable and WhatsApp

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as filling in a form or setting privacy preferences. Without these cookies, parts of the website will not work.

• Form functionality

Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move around our website. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous. We use this data to improve how the site works.
