Steph Ashcroft

Co-founder & Editor

Steph is the editorial heart of We Are Guests. She is the detail-obsessed planner who photographs every meal, reads every guest review, and somehow always finds the cheapest flights — and that same eye runs through every review we publish.

As Editor she sets the standard for our first-hand coverage: what "we stayed" actually means, how a hotel or attraction is assessed, and where a verdict has earned the right to be firm. She visits, photographs and reviews the places she covers in person.

Years of planning and reviewing family holidays first-hand — theme parks, resorts, cruises and city breaks across the US, Europe, Ireland and the UK.
