If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information in the following circumstances:
- Contact form submissions — When you submit an enquiry via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, optional destination interest and your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

- Usage data — Like most websites, we may collect anonymised data about how visitors use this site, such as pages visited, time spent and device type. This helps us understand how to improve the site. This data does not identify you personally.

Cookies
This website may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience. These may include functional cookies (to remember your preferences) and analytics cookies (to understand how visitors use the site).
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to help operate this website, including:
- Analytics providers — such as Google Analytics, which may collect anonymised browsing data. Google's privacy policy applies to data collected by their services.
- Booking and affiliate partners — Links on this site may direct you to third-party booking platforms. Any information you submit directly to those platforms is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means we may receive a small commission if you make a booking or purchase through those links, at no additional cost to you. This does not influence our editorial content or the way we review and describe properties.
Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, and for a reasonable period after that in case of follow-up queries. If you would like your information deleted, please contact us and we will action your request promptly.

Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request that we correct or update inaccurate information.
- Request that we delete your personal information.
