If you submit an enquiry through our contact form, we collect the information you provide — your name, email address, travel dates, and any message you write. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry and to arrange your stay. We do not share this data with third parties except where necessary to complete your booking (for example, a payment processor if you book direct).

Google states that it does not use this data to track or profile users. You can read Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other third-party tracking or advertising technology.
