WeKnowBath is a guide to Bath for visitors, weekenders and locals. This page explains how the site may earn money and the rules that stop that money shaping what we tell you, because you can't weigh a guide fairly without knowing how it's paid for.
Why we set this out
Any guide that can earn from the things it covers has an obvious temptation: nudge readers towards whoever pays and quietly drop the rest. We've built WeKnowBath to do the reverse, in plain sight.
- Our Bath to Bristol Airport guide leads with the direct bus and the train where they're cheaper, and prices them first.
- Where we mention transfer firms, every firm we can verify appears by name and price, on the same terms.
- We don't accept free stays or meals in return for coverage, and we pay our own way.
How the site could earn its keep
Rather than have you guess, here's the honest version. A guide like this can make money through referrals, where a reader who wants a particular service clicks through to a provider, and through sponsorship, affiliate links or advertising. Any of these will be clearly labelled where it appears. What we will never do is present paid placement as a neutral recommendation. If a link earns us a commission, or a slot is sponsored, we'll mark it plainly, right there.
Our editorial rules
- Options come first. Public transport and cheaper alternatives are named and priced before any paid option.
- Competitors always appear. Comparison pages must include real rivals or they don't publish.
- Facts are dated and sourced, so you can see how current they are.
- Corrections are public, not quietly edited away.

FAQs
How does WeKnowBath cover transfer firms?
We lead with the cheaper bus and train options where they win, name and price every firm we can verify on equal terms, and clearly label any referral or sponsored link. We'd rather lose a click than mislead a reader.
Does WeKnowBath take freebies?
No. We pay our own bills for the places we cover and don't accept free stays or meals in exchange for coverage. Any future affiliate link or advert that earns us money will be clearly marked as such.
