Etappe 8 - 14: Westward Ho - Padstow
Ich fand die Etappen alle wunderschön, Hartland Quay war für mich der absolute Höhepunkt! Leider hat es an vier Tagen geregnet, der Pfad war matschig und...

Thank you for writing a review. We're sorry to hear the weather wasn't on your side for this walk, but pleased you found the coast beautiful even through the rain! We do have a short guide on how to handle that last point... We probably need to work harder to spread the word on how it's done.

Thank you for sharing your great photos and in-depth feedback on the trail. We're sorry some sections weren't to your liking, but glad you enjoyed the walk on the whole. Regarding taxi transfers, we do try to avoid them wherever possible but they become essential on some remote trails or in high season.
Contours staff are always helpful and prompt. They helped us select this itinerary based on our feedback from the last one, and have always answered any pre-trip questions.

We're pleased you enjoyed the Cotswolds and the great access to shops and facilities along the way. We're always working to keep our route notes up to date, so we'd love any extra detail you can provide on the sections that weren't quite right - our in-depth feedback form is available on our website within the Members Area. Thank you very much for leaving a review.
Contours provided excellent personalised service during our trip planning, coping admirably with our several changes of routing and number in party.

It's all in a day's work at Contours! More seriously, we're glad to have provided that slightly more complex set of accommodations and it's great to hear you enjoyed your walk.

Thank you for your thorough review and great photos of what happens to be our local trail - we're so pleased you enjoyed it! We look forward to helping you explore even more of the countryside.
Over email, contours was very responsive.
Did not have an issue once on our walk.
I would have liked the book with instructions sent to me like the other info.
While I like the folder with info,...

We're always looking to perfect our holiday materials, so we'll keep your comments on size in mind. Unfortunately posting physical materials to the US is out of our hands at the moment, but we do hope to resume international postage as soon as possible.

Great service. Quick acknowledgment of our booking. The one question I asked a few weeks later was answered almost by return. The holiday maps and information booklets were delivered by post in...

Thank you for rating and reviewing our new twin-centre holiday - we're so glad you enjoyed the format and found the walks to have great variety.
Super. This is my third (so far) holiday with contour walking. We were five in the group and some of the others had theirs sixth holiday with contour walking this time.

Thank you for writing a review. We're glad you enjoyed your walk - especially those cosy B&Bs!
The total cost of our 8-night holiday was £2240, i.e. £280 per night. The room invoices we saw (booked by Contour) ranged from £80/night to £110/night and were generally 1-2star quality. My view is...

We understand that two of your accommodations presented invoices to you on check-out, showing how much we had paid for your stay. These do not reflect the costs paid for all the other accommodations booked for your holiday, so it was shame to read the two least expensive B&Bs had provided these receipts to you, which has clearly left this negative impression on your holiday.
Feedback from our clients is gratefully appreciated as it helps us to continue working with accommodations you enjoyed, but also look into areas that didn't work as planned. We regret to read you did not enjoy some of the accommodations. We are grateful for you reaching out to us prior to your review about a couple of the hotels you did not enjoy. We have prompted you a few times to complete our feedback forms or share more details about your holiday so we could learn more about these "1-2 star quality" accommodations. We feel our responses thus far to you have been appropriate given the limited information you have shared with us by email.
It is disingenuous to suggest that we are frauds if you are just taking the cost of two night stays on your walk, and comparing that number to the average cost per night for your holiday. Along with accommodations, we also arranged luggage transfers, taxis from and to the trail, our bespoke holiday pack, and services such as our Out-of-Hours number which is available when our office is closed. There is a lot more than just accommodation that goes into a Contours Holiday.
Thank you again for your review.
