How we choose

Snug Hideaways is a curated guide, not an everything-directory. Here's exactly how places get on it and how they're ordered.

What we look for

• The feature is real. A “hot tub lodge” has a genuinely private hot tub — not a shared spa. “Dog-friendly” means walks from the door and a fair pet policy, not a grudging surcharge.
• Reviews stack up. We weigh independent guest reviews on the provider's own platform and elsewhere.
• Location earns its place. We favour places where our local notes can genuinely help you choose an area.
• The provider is established. We work with recognised UK holiday-let operators so your booking is protected.

How ranking works

Order is based on fit and quality — feature match, review strength, and value for the season. Ranking is never for sale. If a placement is ever a paid promotion, it is clearly labelled “Featured” and marked as advertising. We earn commission on bookings (see our affiliate disclosure), but that's the same whichever place you choose, so it can't bias the order.

What we're not

We're not the accommodation provider and we don't process bookings or payments. Prices and availability come from third parties and change often — always confirm on the provider's site before you book.
