“We very much enjoyed our holiday. The Devon countryside is very attractive and north Somerset no less so. We were blessed with the weather. Most days were hazy sunshine with a cool breeze – ideal walking weather. We didn’t see one drop of rain. All the taxis for transfers were reliable and accommodating. My wife was concerned about a knee injury when we made our holiday booking so we chose the itinerary with 11 days walking. Previously we would have chosen the 10 days option. On our return, I was interested to see how you restructured the itinerary for 10 days.”Mr Parsons, UK
“We loved walking the Coleridge Way. We have done many walks with Contours over the years and think the standard of accommodation is getting even better. Thank you.”Mrs Howard, UK
“Once again a good, well organised holiday with no organisational problems.”Mr Henderson, UK
“Beautiful scenery, very nice inns.”Ms Vink, Netherlands
“I enjoyed a visit to Coleridge's Cottage and the National Trust guys there were very welcoming. I got the impression they aren't exactly besieged by visitors although weekends and school parties maybe make it busier in what is a small house. On the update, the views were spectacular - right across the Severn estuary over to Wales and up to Dunkery Beacon. In summery - a challenging but very rewarding holiday.”Mr Pearse, UK
“Lovely varied scenery and walks, nice daily walking distances.”Mr Pugh, UK
“The holiday was very enjoyable. On the whole arrangements worked well and the various guest houses etc were all comfortable and welcoming.”Mr Adey, UK
“I enjoyed it all. Quite strenuous for me, but I knew it would be. We all coped well, combined ages 464. Seamless luggage transfers.”Mrs Topping, UK
“The route is very varied and the scenery lovely. The accommodation was very good. Would definitely recommend this holiday to others. You need to be fittish as there's quite a lot of climb over the six days, but as three seventy somethings we found it was ideal for us. The communication has been good, the pack very helpful, and it was reassurung to find that the accommodation had been checked out by yourselves. We just need to find the right walk for us as we age.”Mr Temple, UK
