Accommodation
We want you to enjoy the place you stay and the meals you eat as much as you enjoy the walking, so we put a great deal of time and effort into finding the best accommodation with the warmest of welcomes. All of the inns, country house-style hotels and guesthouses which we use offer comfortable well-appointed bedrooms with ensuite bathroom. You may find yourself staying in a centuries-old inn but you can still be confident that your room will have 21st century plumbing! More about accommodation options.
Food
Unless you select a B&B only option (Coastal Escapes only) your short walking break will include not only a great cooked or continental breakfast but a delicious evening meal as well. All of the inns and hotels have a top quality restaurant serving regional specialities using locally-sourced ingredients. More about food options.
