“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
“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
“Everything about the holiday was excellent, from the first contact to the last day. All elements of our experience were really great. The day from Bicknoller to Luxborough was really beautiful for the woodland and high tops with stunning views around the Quantocks and to Exmoor.”Mr Ruff, UK
“First long distance walk we had done - but our friends who came with us have done loads - all of us were very impressed with the whole holiday. Good levels of accommodation and easy transfers.”Mr Pettit, 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
“Once again a good, well organised holiday with no organisational problems.”Mr Henderson, UK
“Beautiful scenery, very nice inns.”Ms Vink, Netherlands
“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
“Difficult to choose our favourite part of the route as we enjoyed every day.”Mrs Hurd, UK
