Your hotel is a very important part of your walking holiday; somewhere to enjoy relaxing, sleeping and eating between days of walking. We have chosen hotels in the 2* - 5* categories for our centred holidays that meet our criteria and, wherever possible, we offer a choice.
On our treks some hotels may be of a lower official grading but they still meet our requirements.
Complete Financial Security
We are fully bonded with ATOL for all holidays where we have booked air travel and with ABTA where we arrange 'land only' holidays, guaranteeing you complete financial security and full compliance with the Package Travel Regulations.
