How we check
Every listed hotel needs a pregnancy-specific offering published on its own website.
Updated 15 November 2026
Hotel words, dated sources
The offering must appear on the hotel's own site. We record a quote, the page address and a checked date for each fact. Our verifier checks that the quote is on that page before it enters the published data.
An unverified fact becomes not confirmed. A failed offering check prevents publication. We hide offers whose published end date has passed, label future offers and mark missing dates as not confirmed.
Treatments and facilities
We keep the operator's stage wording separate from general facility access and companion access. A general spa inclusion does not establish a pregnant-guest policy for any facility.
Health excerpts come from HSE, with a link and checked date. We do not provide medical advice.
Addresses and driving estimates
Coordinates are checked against the official hotel address. We use hotel map coordinates where recorded, or OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Estimated driving times come from OSRM Table, starting at the named origin. We round to the nearest minute and exclude traffic and stops.
Our recheck schedule for offers, published carrier rules and voucher facts is monthly. A checked date records a source check, not room or treatment availability.
Read a source check in context
Treatment names, lengths and stage wording are checked against the operator's page or menu. Compare the published wording at Ice House and Galgorm, or the treatment details at Falls Hotel and Ballykisteen.
General spa access is recorded separately from each facility's pregnant-guest policy. Shandon's stay page shows how we keep a package inclusion beside an unconfirmed policy.
The treatment location also needs its own check. The George's spa page names VB Spa at The Savoy, so that location appears on the stay page.
Airline rules and voucher terms
Airline rules come from the carrier's own page. We keep advice, certificate requirements and travel limits separate and publish a carrier row only when all its selected quotes verify. The Aer Lingus row covers its European section only.
Voucher scope and expiry are checked separately on the operator's own page. If a term is not confirmed, we leave it unconfirmed. General spa redemption does not establish that a voucher covers a named pregnancy treatment.
