Stay & Story

Our editorial standards.

Readers should be able to tell what a story knows and where that knowledge comes from.

Research and reporting

Researched guides identify primary sources and keep our interpretation separate from documented facts. We do not invent visits, interviews, quotes, awards, testimonials or tested outcomes. Practical guides are frameworks, with any invented examples described as illustrative. Health treatment advice is outside our scope.

Useful detail, checked in context

Names, project credits and historical dates are checked against the linked sources. Current opening hours, rates and availability can change, so guides direct readers to the operator for live arrangements. A source page is not proof that every facility is available on a particular date.

Selection and commercial relationships

Directory entries are selected for relevance to our guides. Inclusion does not require payment, a purchase or a reciprocal link. Any paid placement, gifted experience or relevant commercial relationship must be disclosed with the affected content. Paid links are labelled. We do not sell editorial rankings.

Images and attribution

Our publication artwork is illustrative. It does not purport to show a featured venue. Photographs, plans and other contributed media require suitable rights and accurate credits before publication. Publicly visible material is not automatically free to reproduce.

Corrections and maintenance

Send the article address, the statement at issue and a useful source through the contact form. Material corrections will be identified in the article. Publication dates are not changed merely to make a story appear new. Guides are scheduled for periodic review, with time-sensitive information checked when updates are made.
