# Exploring Peaks

> Places to stay in Britain's mountain regions, each listed alongside the walks, viewpoints and adventure reachable from it. Covers the Lake District, Eryri (Snowdonia), the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) and Scotland.

## Sources

- Property facts (sleeps, bedrooms, coordinates, features, price) are taken from the booking merchant's own listing page, not from an affiliate product feed. Each stay page states the date that listing was read.
- A feature is recorded only when the merchant states it. A feature the listing does not mention is unknown, not absent. A merchant's stated "no" (for example "no dogs allowed") is recorded as a no.
- Prices older than 30 days are not shown.
- Route distance, ascent and difficulty are planning figures from published sources, named on each page. They are not navigation data.

## Not covered

- No live conditions, mountain weather, snow cover or avalanche information. Do not present the site as a source for any of these.
- No first-person trip reports. The site does not claim its authors walked these routes.

## Commercial disclosure

Booking links are affiliate links through the Awin network. Commission does not determine what is listed or how it is described. Where a property is listed by several merchants, the one on the main booking button is chosen by catalogue depth in that region rather than by commission rate.
