St Cuthbert's Way Accommodation:
One of the highlights of this tour is the high standard of the
accommodation you will enjoy. The hotels, inns, guesthouses
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 weblinks to all the accommodation
we use on our website here
Single Rooms:
This independent walking holiday is available to solo walkers
but as all our holidays are priced per person based on two
sharing there
is a single supplement payable to cover the additional costs we
incur. If you require single rooms within your party we will
of course try
to accommodate your request subject to availability. Please note
that singles may not be of the same standard as twins.
Meals:
A full cooked 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.
Baggage Transfer:
Your bags will be collected from your accommodation each day and
moved onto your overnight accommodation. We ask you to limit your
luggage to one bag of up to 15kg per person.
Additional Nights: (£35pppn)
Many of our clients choose to add extra nights along the walk.
Please contact the Macs Adventure office to arrange this
for you. We would recommend extra nights in Melrose to enjoy
the lovely Tweed Valley scenery and Lindisfarne to take in
the many attractions and wonderful birdlife the island offers.
Accomodation Requests:
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.
