Cookie Policy

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

It's important you understand how your data is held online. The GDPR makes this a requirement of website providers (that's us) to let you know how data is used. As well as the previous link about the GDPR, you can read the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) details about the General Data Protection Regulation by clicking on their company logo below.

We do NOT collect your personal data

We never collect any personal data about you. There won't be any requests to enter your name, address, email, etc. The only time you may give us this information is if you send us an email or contact us using a form. If this is the case, we will endeavour to get back to you as soon as we can. Your details will not be kept.

Cookies

We do use cookies.

When you find the holiday accommodation you require on our site, and then go on to book a holiday from the provider of that holiday (eg, cottages.com, Hoseasons, TUI, James Villas, Helpful Holidays, etc). we get a small commission from that holiday provider. To do this a cookie is placed onto your computer when you visit that holiday company from our website. if you then go on to book your holiday, the cookie identifies you as having come from our site and we earn our commission.

it's important to note that you don't pay any extra on your holiday for this, any commission we receive comes from the travel company in question.

We also use some software called "Google Analytics" to find out how many people visit our web-site. Google Analytics is a service that allows us to anonymously track the use of our website by those who visit. The data collected is all added together to give us an idea of how many people visit us. You remain anonymous, meaning you cannot be identified personally.
