Coast to Coast Accommodation One of the highlights of this tour is the high standard of the accommodation you will enjoy. The hotels, inns and B&B’s we use are hand-picked to ensure that you enjoy every minute of your stay. All offer a warm welcome to walkers, traditional hospitality and delicious local food. We do recommend that you book this trip early as the area is always popular and the hotels and inns do fill up early, especially in high season. You will find descriptions, photos and web links to all the accommodation we use below. We have included a selection of accommodation for each stop below to give you a better idea of the standard of accommodation that we offer. We will always try and accommodate requests for specific accommodation but this cannot be guaranteed due to availability. Solo Walkers: Due to the logistics of this walking holiday we are unable to accommodate solo walkers. If you require single rooms within your party we will of course accommodate you although there is a single supplement payable. Meals: A full English breakfast is included each morning while lunch and dinner are not included so you are free to choose from the available options. Your accommodation will be more than happy to provide a packed lunch on request and this can be booked on arrival, alternatively your guidebook also includes details of local shops and convenient lunch stops on the way. Dinner is available either at your accommodation or nearby pubs and restaurants and your info pack will of course have recommendations.
