Independent editorial context, with clear limits on what this website offers.

Effective: 1 January 2026

About this website

This website is operated by Crimsonvalleybantr Ltd, registered office 12 Museum Street, York YO1 7DT, United Kingdom, company no. 15063829. Questions about these terms may be sent to [email protected].

We publish independent information about railway heritage and hotels. We are not a travel agent, hotel operator, transport provider or booking intermediary. We are not affiliated with the hotels, railways or heritage bodies discussed.

Travel information and verification

Content is general editorial information, not individualized travel, accessibility, legal or professional advice. Historical descriptions do not guarantee present-day services. Names, operators, public access, tours, room categories, routes and operating arrangements can change.

Verify essential details with the relevant provider before booking or traveling. We do not supply live availability, prices, timetables or guaranteed connections. A description of a historic feature does not imply access to it, inclusion in a room rate or suitability for your requirements.

Respect property boundaries, staff instructions, railway safety rules and other guests' privacy. Nothing on this website authorizes entry to restricted buildings, tracks, platforms or guest-only areas.

Using the correspondence tool

The Contact tool prepares plain text locally for preview, copying or download. It does not send email, create a booking or provide secure submission of documents. You remain responsible for checking the text and choosing whether to send it through your own email service. Do not include sensitive personal data, payment information or confidential booking material.

Content and permitted use

Unless otherwise identified, editorial text and original illustrations are protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may read, link to and print reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial reference. Statutory exceptions, including fair dealing where applicable, remain unaffected. Seek permission before substantial republication or commercial reuse.

Hotel names, railway names and third-party marks belong to their respective owners. Their use identifies the subjects of editorial discussion and does not imply endorsement. Do not misuse the website, attempt unauthorized access or interfere with its operation.

External links and availability

External links support further research. We do not control their content, availability, policies or subsequent changes. Inclusion is not a guarantee of accuracy or endorsement. We may correct, revise or remove content and cannot promise uninterrupted availability of this site or its tools.

Liability and applicable law

We take reasonable care with editorial content but cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, current or error-free. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for losses arising from reliance on general information or the unavailability of this free website. Nothing excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Mandatory consumer rights are not affected.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Applicable mandatory rights and any right you have to bring proceedings in your home jurisdiction remain unaffected. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply so far as legally possible.
