Good communication, except for concerning the route description.
Good luggage transfer.
Why make the last day 12 miles...far too long when the terrain is just as hard as previous shorter days.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We very much appreciate the feedback, and we're glad to hear you loved the coastline on the Far West of Cornwall walk.
Grading trails is always a tricky business as so much of it's subjective, and we regret our assessment of this route wasn't right for you. We choose overnight stops based on the length and difficulty of the day alongside the availability of accommodation, and the sheer remoteness of this leg of the walk is part of why we've split it as we have for our FWC3 itinerary.
Our FWC4 is probably the better option for anyone reading this and worrying about that long final day, but as there's no suitable overnight town actually on the trail there, it does mandate a taxi transfer, which not everyone will prefer. It's very much a balancing act!

Thank you for leaving feedback on the Far West of Cornwall. My apologises, I'm doubling up my reply a bit between this review and your comment on our overall service, but we're sorry our grading of this route didn't match your expectations. Those steep steps and the rolling coastal terrain do indeed make a big difference even on days with shorter mileages.
The walk was well organised; accommodation was generally of a high standard; transfers where accommodation was not available on the trail was efficient and flexible. Baggage transfers worked with no...

Thank you very much for your detailed review of the Cleveland Way. We're pleased to hear all our arrangements went well and that you enjoyed this spectacular trail.
Everything was well done from accommodation, taxi transfers to itinerary support. Perhaps a map and maybe an app with a downloadable online map might have been helpful.
We had our own map and...

We're happy to hear you enjoyed your walk along the Pennine Way, but a little alarmed to hear you didn't receive a map - we'd hate to think of anyone out on a trail without one! There should have been a map booklet included with your Cicerone guide for the trail. Was that missing or were you simply happier with the full-sized OS sheets?
I can confirm that we don't offer a dedicated app, but GPX files for our holidays are available for download through the Members Area on our website, and can be used on most major map app platforms.

Very helpful during planning, so much so that I never had to call them during the whole 19 day experience.

Thanks very much for taking the time to rate and review the Coast to Coast Walk. I'm sure prospective walkers will appreciate that bit of extra info, too!
Thanks for the bookings and the baggage pick-ups. Obviously there aren't many hotels/pubs/B&Bs en route, but mostly, the ones you chose were acceptable. There were some blips - one day turned into...

Thanks very much for your thorough feedback - we're glad you enjoyed the Coleridge Way on the whole! We're sorry to hear about that long, long detour, and we'd be very appreciative if you could give us a little more information about the unclear section of the notes via the feedback form in our Members Area so we can look into it. Thanks again for leaving a review!
