Please also read our Privacy Policy for information about how we handle personal information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone or other device when you visit a website. They can support website functions, remember your choices and collect information about how a website is used.

Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, can also store or access information on your device. We refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies” in this policy.

Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period unless you delete them earlier.

First-party cookies are set on our website’s domain. Third-party cookies are set on another provider’s domain.

How we use cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support functions essential to provide the website or a service you request. These include remembering your cookie preferences.

We use the GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin by Moove Agency to provide our cookie banner and preference controls. The plugin stores information about your choices so that they can be remembered when you browse the website.

Cookies used solely for an essential function do not require consent where they meet the applicable legal exemption. Optional analytics and marketing tracking are not treated as strictly necessary.

Analytics — Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website and to help us improve its content and performance.

Depending on its configuration, Google Analytics processes information such as:

  • Pages visited and interactions with website content.

  • How visitors reach our website.

  • Browser and device details.

  • Identifiers associated with a visitor’s browser.

Google Analytics cookies are managed through the optional cookie settings on our website.

Google documents _ga and _ga_<container-id> as standard Google Analytics 4 cookies. Their default lifetime is two years, although website settings, browser restrictions and subsequent visits can affect their expiry.

Newsletter services and marketing — Omnisend

We use Omnisend to manage newsletter subscriptions and send newsletters. Our website includes Omnisend signup functionality and integration code.

The integration includes page-view tracking functionality. Depending on the configuration and your cookie choices, Omnisend technologies can recognise your browser, record website interactions and associate activity with a contact where that contact has been identified.

Optional Omnisend tracking belongs to the marketing cookie category.

Accepting marketing cookies does not subscribe you to our newsletter. Newsletter subscriptions and cookie preferences are separate choices.

You can unsubscribe from newsletters using the unsubscribe link in an email. Unsubscribing does not automatically change your cookie preferences or delete cookies already stored in your browser.

Embedded content — YouTube

Some pages contain videos hosted by YouTube.

Loading an embedded YouTube player or playing a video can allow Google/YouTube to receive information about your device and interaction with the video and to store or access information on your device.

If you are signed into a Google account, Google may associate information with that account, depending on your settings.

YouTube technologies may support video playback, remember preferences, measure usage and support advertising-related purposes. Their behaviour can vary according to the player configuration, your browser and your Google account settings.

You can manage the optional cookie categories available for third-party content through our cookie settings. Restricting these technologies may affect the availability of embedded videos.

Google Ads and Google Search Console

We have a connected Google Ads account, although we are not currently running advertising campaigns.

An advertising account connection does not, by itself, establish which cookies are active. Where Google Ads advertising or conversion-tracking technologies are enabled on our website, they belong to the optional marketing category.

We also use Google Search Console to understand our website’s visibility in Google Search. Connecting Search Console does not, by itself, place a separate Search Console cookie on visitors’ devices.

Cookie duration

Cookie lifetimes depend on the individual technology, our configuration and your browser settings.

Session cookies normally last for a browsing session. Persistent cookies can remain until their expiry date or until you delete them. Some cookies may have their expiry renewed when you return to the website.

The lifetime of a cookie is separate from the period for which information collected through it may be retained by us or a service provider.

Managing your preferences

Our website uses a cookie banner and preference panel provided by GDPR Cookie Compliance.

You can use these controls to accept optional cookies, reject optional cookies or manage the available categories.

You can reopen the preference panel at any time using the link below:

Cookie settings

Continuing to browse, scrolling or closing the banner does not constitute consent to optional cookies.

You can change your preferences or withdraw consent through the preference panel. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before you withdrew consent.

Changing your preferences may not remove every cookie previously stored by a third party. You can also delete existing cookies through your browser settings.

If you use another browser or device, or delete the information that remembers your preferences, you may need to make your choices again.

Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies and manage stored website data. You can find these options in your browser’s privacy or security settings.

Blocking cookies may affect website features, forms or embedded videos. Blocking third-party cookies does not necessarily prevent all external requests or all collection of information.

Browser controls are additional tools and do not replace our responsibility to obtain consent where required.

Third-party providers

Google and Omnisend process information in connection with the services described above. Their processing may involve countries outside the UK.

For information about their handling of personal information, please see:

You can contact us for further information about the providers we use and any applicable international data transfer safeguards.

External websites

Our website links to external services, including our online booking portal and WhatsApp.

When you follow an external link, the destination service’s own privacy and cookie information applies. Your cookie preferences on our website do not automatically control cookies used by those external services.

Updates to this policy

We may update this policy when our website, service providers or use of cookies changes.

The date at the top of this page shows when this policy was last updated. Where required, we will request fresh consent before using optional technologies for new purposes.
