Ethos

Hand-picked gay friendly accommodation.

Most people don’t have the time to trawl through listings and directories, and don’t want to risk relying on website promises. Holidays are just too important to get wrong.

We have carefully selected every place to stay that is included to ensure quality, comfort and personality - plus a friendly and professional service.

We believe strongly in profiling only the best places to stay and those owners who will go the extra mile. Creating a space where owners can stand out from the crowd and where you can find them easily is important to us.

Gay welcoming

There is no mystery here but a key element of us ‘hand-picking’ gay friendly accommodation is the absolute assurance that the owners and their staff are respectful and enthusiastically welcoming to all their guests regardless of whether they are gay, lesbian or straight.

Even in these enlightened times three out of four gay travellers worry about the welcome that they will receive at their holiday accommodation (Out Now Consulting 2009). 

None of our hand-picked places to stay are exclusively gay. Many of them are gay-owned but they all welcome everyone and this, we believe, is their appeal. A place to stay which is friendly and non-judgemental; a place to unwind and relax without fear of prejudice.

Ethical

We would like to inspire and encourage more ethical and environmental best practice at our hand-picked places to stay. We also believe that many of our visitors are interested in this too.

So, without being rigid we look to highlight positive practice in the following areas:

• Energy conservation and generation
• Water conservation
• Recycling and waste minimisation
• Local purchasing, and community links and employment
• Wildlife enhancement.
