“The holiday exceeded our expectations. A very varied route which we enjoyed. Generally easy to follow instructions and generally very good accommodation. No problems with luggage transfers at all. Service was very efficient. We would definitely recommend this holiday. Contours are easy to deal with and everything worked well. All we had to do was enjoy the walks. We have used Contours in the past and will in future.”Mr Gunston, UK
“All 8 of us had the best time! So well organised from start to finish.”Mrs Hollidge, UK
“All the B&Bs booked were to a good standard, albeit each one was very different. Already discussing next year’s venture!”Mrs Riley, UK
“Everything worked seamlessly for us, all the hotels, transfers were brilliant. Each hotel had its own charms and the island was really magical. We were especially pleased with the final booking at the Lakeside. Such a beautiful location and the spa was much needed after 5 days of walking. The itinerary worked really well, and as I mentioned above, we had no problems at all with any of the bookings made for us. The taxi company around Freshwater Bay were especially helpful. Well organised, beautiful scenery. I would also encourage people to stop off at Quarr Abbey outside of Ryde. It was a complete delight and totally unexpected, a really lovely place.”Mrs Brain, UK
“All in all we had a wonderful holiday and I recommend the Isle of Wight to anyone looking for a coastal walk with slight differences.”Mrs Boon, UK
