“Beautiful scenery, very nice inns.”Ms Vink, Netherlands
“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
“Overall the accommodation was very good, and hosts welcoming and helpful. Thank you.”Ms Brown, 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
“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
“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
“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 holiday was very enjoyable. On the whole arrangements worked well and the various guest houses etc were all comfortable and welcoming.”Mr Adey, UK
