The legal bit
Affiliate disclosure
How this blog earns money, and how that affects what I recommend. Last updated 1 November 2026.
The short version
Some links on this blog are affiliate links. If you click one and book or buy something, I may earn a small commission. It never costs you anything extra, and it helps keep the blog running.
How affiliate links work
When you follow an affiliate link, the company you land on can recognise that you came from Weekends and Away, usually with a cookie. If you go on to make a purchase, they may pay me a share of the sale. The price you pay is the same.
Who I work with
The affiliate programmes used on this site include:
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Gifted and paid-for trips
I sometimes work with hotels, tourism boards and brands. Any gifted stay, paid partnership or press trip is labelled clearly at the start of the post, in line with the rules set by the Advertising Standards Authority and the Competition and Markets Authority.
A gift or payment does not buy a good review. My opinions are my own, and I only recommend places I would be happy to send a friend.
Prices and availability
Prices, offers and availability change, and they are set by the company you book with. Always check the details before you book. Your contract is with that company, so any questions about your booking should go to them.
