| Your
accommodation and meals |
|
You stay in small, friendly guesthouses, family-run hotels, farmhouse bed and
breakfasts and country inns all offering you the warmth of traditional British
hospitality.
We offer en-suite rooms wherever possible, although in more remote regions
where accommodation is limited they may not be available. You may stay for one
night or spend several nights at one guesthouse and where this is the case we
will provide a pick up and drop off service for your day's walk. You will receive
a complete list of your accommodation with contact details in your personal information
pack.
All accommodation is booked on a bed and breakfast basis, allowing you the
freedom to choose where and when you would like to eat your lunch and evening
meals. In many cases the guesthouses where you stay offer excellent evening meals
or your personal information pack provides details of recommended restaurants
and traditional British pubs.
Information about which of the guesthouses provide a packed lunch, and how
much this costs is provided in our local information booklet included in your
personal information pack. If the guesthouses en route are unable to offer this
service we provide information about where you can buy food in local shops nearby.
Alternatively, you may like to stop for lunch and sample
the local cuisine at traditional pubs and cafes as you choose.
