Why trust our recommendations ?
As a family, we know how stressful travelling with coeliac disease can be.
Our daughter, Ella, has coeliac disease, and whenever we go on holiday our biggest priority is making sure she has plenty of choice, so she never feels she's missing out. Everyone deserves the freedom to enjoy their holiday without constantly worrying about where they can eat next.
That's why we created Gluten Free Stays. Every restaurant featured in this guide has been carefully researched using restaurant information, gluten-free resources and feedback from gluten-free and coeliac diners.
Before we recommend any restaurant, we ask ourselves one simple question: would we feel happy taking Ella there on our own family holiday? If the answer isn't yes, it simply doesn't make it into our guides.
Our aim isn't just to help you find one gluten-free meal – it's to help you discover destinations where you'll have plenty of choice, so you can relax, explore and enjoy your holiday with confidence, just like everyone else.
We hope these guides help you spend less time worrying about where to eat and more time making memories with the people you love.
Whenever you order, simply let the restaurant know that you have coeliac disease or require a strict gluten-free diet so they can prepare your meal accordingly.
