Guided West Highland Way
Accommodation
B&B, guesthouse and small hotel accommodation is included
in our guided West Highland Way adventures.
All the accommodation we use is carefully selected
and personally inspected to ensure we have a warm welcome,
good nights sleep and hearty breakfast to send you on your way
in
the morning.
Generally we all stay in the same accommodation
as this helps to build a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The West
Highland Way passes through small villages and remote countryside
so although the accommodation may not be the most luxurious it
is always interesting, welcoming and geared to walkers.
Singles - Our guided groups are perfect for solo
walkers looking to join a relaxed friendly group. Unless you
specifically request a single room (supplement payable) we will
partner you with another group member of the same sex in a twin
roomshare. This saves on supplements and means the group can
stay together as most accommodation has a very limited supply
of single rooms.
In 2008 our guided groups will be staying
in the following accommodation. |
