Editorial Policy

Our editorial standards

Content on Lincs Staycation Guide is created by our editorial team with a focus on practical, useful and accurate information. We are independent of tourism boards, councils and government bodies. The site may earn revenue from affiliate links and clearly labelled paid placements, which are kept separate from unpaid editorial selection and ordering.

Local usefulness

We prioritise content that is genuinely useful for people planning visits to or exploring Lincolnshire. Our categories, guides and listings are organised to reflect how people actually search for local travel information.

Accuracy checks

We make reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of information before publication. However, details such as opening times, pricing and availability may change. We encourage users to confirm details directly with businesses before visiting.

Listing reviews

All business listing submissions are reviewed before publication. We assess listings for accuracy, relevance and editorial quality. We reserve the right to edit descriptions for clarity, correct factual errors, or decline listings that do not meet our standards.

Sponsored content labelling

Where content has been created in partnership with a business or as a result of a paid arrangement, it will be clearly labelled as sponsored. Sponsored content is always identified separately from our independent editorial content.

• Unpaid editorial selections are chosen for reader usefulness and relevance; inclusion and ordering are not sold.
• Affiliate links may be used where a booking route is useful, but the affiliate relationship does not determine unpaid inclusion or order.
• Paid placements appear only in clearly labelled commercial positions and do not become unpaid editorial recommendations.

Corrections policy

If you notice an error or outdated information on our website, please contact us. We will review and correct verified errors as promptly as possible. You can report issues through our contact form.

No fake reviews

We do not publish fake reviews, fabricated testimonials or misleading endorsements. Where user reviews or ratings are introduced in the future, they will be subject to moderation and verification processes.

Independence and editorial integrity

Lincs Staycation Guide is independently published and is not affiliated with any local council, official tourism board, destination marketing organisation or government body. Commercial relationships are disclosed, and unpaid editorial selection and ordering remain separate from paid placements.

We believe that editorial independence is essential for building trust with our readers. Visitors to Lincolnshire deserve honest, practical information — not promotional copy presented as unpaid editorial judgement. This commitment is central to everything we publish.

Transparency

We are committed to being transparent about how our content is created and funded. Where we earn revenue through advertising, affiliate links or paid listings, this is clearly disclosed. Our Affiliate Disclosure, Advertising page and Business Listing Terms provide full details.
