When you browse our site, a small exchange takes place quietly in the background. Tiny text files called cookies pass between your browser and our servers.
Used correctly, these cookies make your experience faster, more personal, and more secure. This page explains exactly which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control every single one of them at any time.
1What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. It typically contains the site address, a creation date, and a few pieces of data. It does not contain your personal identity.
Cookies allow a site to recognise you on your next visit, remember your language and currency preferences, keep your booking enquiries intact, and help us understand which pages visitors find most useful.
Not all cookies are the same. Some are essential for the site to work at all. Others are entirely optional and depend on extra services you choose to allow, such as analytics or marketing. This page keeps the two clearly separated.
2Our Cookie Categories
Our site uses four main categories of cookies. Each one has its own purpose, summarised below.
Essential Cookies

Consent RequiredUsed by advertising networks to show content relevant to your interests and to measure campaign performance. You can switch them off completely whenever you prefer.
