Terms of Use

What using the site means

Reading Rockpoolmousehole, following its seaside guides or acting on its restaurant and food notes means you accept these terms as the basis for that use. Questions can go to [email protected].

General information, not a guarantee

Articles on coastal travel, food and drink, and restaurants are general information and personal opinion. Menus, prices, opening hours, ferry and bus times and beach access change often and may be out of date by the time you arrive, so confirm with the business or operator before travelling. Coastal conditions can be dangerous: tides, cliffs, slippery rocks and weather are your responsibility, and nothing here replaces local warnings, lifeguard flags or official safety advice.

Food safety and allergies

Comments on dishes, shellfish, foraged or local produce and drinks are not advice about allergies, intolerances or health. If you have an allergy or dietary need, tell the restaurant or producer directly and ask how a dish is prepared. A good review of a seafood platter says nothing about whether it is safe for you.

Who owns what

The writing, layout and original photographs on the site belong to the operator or are used with permission. You may read, share links and quote a short passage with a clear credit. Copying full articles, republishing them or using them for business needs written permission.

Using the site properly

Do not attempt to break into the site, flood it with automated requests, insert harmful code, scrape it at scale or use it to send spam. Access can be blocked for anyone whose activity puts the site or other readers at risk.

Anything you send us

When you send a correction, tip or restaurant suggestion, you confirm you are entitled to share it. By sending it you let us read it and draw on it when improving articles, and we owe you neither a reply nor a mention.

Advertising, affiliate links and the places we point to

The site may show advertising and may use affiliate links, which can earn the operator a commission when readers book or buy, at no added cost to them. Such links do not change what an article says about a restaurant or destination. Links and mentions may lead to restaurants, accommodation, ferry or rail operators, and food producers whose sites are outside our control, and we are not responsible for their prices, bookings, service or content.

Warranties and liability

Rockpoolmousehole is provided without promises that every tide time, menu or opening hour is accurate, complete or always online. As far as the law permits, the operator is not liable for loss, such as a wasted journey or a disappointing meal, arising from reliance on it. Nothing here removes rights you have by law that cannot be excluded, or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Changes and severability

These terms and the site may be revised whenever the operator sees fit, and a revised version applies from the moment it appears here. If a tribunal ever decides that a single rule in these terms cannot be applied, every other rule on this page still holds for readers of the site.
