Accommodations Levels

Our trips have a variety of accommodations, depending on the location or the style of adventure you want. Whatever the level, we carefully select accommodations to ensure you receive a friendly welcome and that your stay is a comfortable, authentic experience.

Most tours are in the comfortable range, including nights in friendly, independent or family-run hotels, guest houses, or B&Bs. No matter what the type of accommodations, they will always be chosen for charm, cleanliness, and those special touches that make you feel at home. Some holidays are graded superior, with a little extra luxury, and some contain more basic accommodations, particularly in more remote locations where mountain refuges or camps may house your bed for the night. 

Where you stay shapes your overall experience, and can leave you with some of the best memories, anything from the best breakfast pastries you've ever had, to an evening in front of the fireplace spent with a friendly host. Rest-assured, we've selected the best-suited accommodations for each night's rest.

Basic

Basic

These accommodations are comfortable and will meet all of your basic needs. They may include mountain huts and limited B&B’s – among others. Accommodations may be rustic and a private bathroom may not always be available. Sometimes located in a remote area, these accommodations may be shared with other travelers. While they may be more basic in facilities, they are big on welcome. 

Comfortable

Comfortable

Our comfortable accommodations include charming B&B’s and guest houses, as well as small hotels and inns. These are usually family-run and always clean, comfortable and well-located. 

Superior

Superior

We use 3-star hotels and luxurious B&B’s to welcome you to our superior accommodations. Many are renowned for their excellent cuisine and all offer a warm reception, traditional hospitality and an authentic experience. Trips might be described as "In Comfort" to let you know that they have a higher specification of overnight accommodation. All the warmth and comfort of our standard lodgings, with a little extra special feel.

Luxury

Luxury

Our luxury accommodations are comprised of carefully chosen, stylish, 4-star hotels – all ideally located to offer the best service for our walkers and cyclists. We specifically choose each 4-star hotel for superior room views, high levels of service and hospitality, and delicious local cuisine. You can check out our “In Style” collection of tours to explore some of our luxury options.

Various

This rating consists of a combination of two or more of our accommodation levels. For instance, while on a trek in Nepal, you’ll stay in traditional mountain lodges in remote areas where you may be using shared facilities and staying in shared rooms. However, while in Kathmandu, you can stay at the 5-star hotels opposite the Royal Palace, which is just five minutes walking from many busy tourist areas. Or on the Larapinta Trail, you may be in a four star hotel to start your adventure, and remote eco-camps for your hike.

    Enjoyed a really lovely few days walking between towns in Puglia. Our accommodation was lovely, our walks weren’t too difficult, the scenery was beautiful and everything was very well organised. The app was easy to use and it as handy downloading the maps to help navigate our daily walks.

    Everything worked as planned! The App was pretty much flawless. The “guides” who were the drivers added an extra element with their local knowledge! Accommodations were high quality.

    They were so helpful and professional. Taylor our contact went above and beyond because we had to change some dates. The entire walk in the Cotswold was wonderful. Each inn was a delight and the information provided about each days walk was spot on. I would highly recommend Macs Adventures.

    Well organized, great accommodations, easy to communicate with when we needed help.
  • Mrs Cathy Beathard 07/06/2023
    This was my first time to book a trip with Macs Adventure and it went extremely well. Dan Crandall and the others made it very easy to plan our trip, make some custom arrangements, and organize our group. Each night's B&B was charming and ready for us to check in. Our luggage moved along seamlessly. The Macs App was a very helpful tool as we hiked along the Dingle Peninsula. We met some really wonderful Irish friends and swapped many stories. I will certainly use Macs Adventure again!

    Very well organised walking holiday by Macs Adventure’s. We were able to enjoy the wonderful scenery knowing that our baggage was being efficiently transported, and excellent accommodation was awaiting us at the end of our daily walk.. Everything functioned like clockwork.
  • Miss Gay Pinkerton 07/06/2023
    Macs organised a West Highland Way trip gave an OK quote. Communication at this point was good. Staff were helpful. Then about 3 weeks before we were to travel received an email saying one of the b&bs was cancelled due to bad reviews which was fine, but didn't say which one or where. Told we would get a refund and it would be easier for us to arrange another place ourselves. This is when we found out that the place that was cancelled we were supposed to stay 2 nights according to the app. When I phoned it seemed we were only staying one night there and somewhere else the second night so we were very confused. Eventually I managed to find a place but communication to get a refund was very slow and didn't get it till the day we finished. Accommodation we stayed in was good and people lovely. Baggage transfers was great and well organised

    This was the second trip with Macs. It was well planned, very good communication before the trip. Accommodations were great.
  • Mrs Susan Hay 07/06/2023
    Trip was well organized from start to finish. We didn't have to worry about anything other than sleeping, eating and walking! Accommodations were exactly as described with welcoming and friendly hosts. This was our 4th long distance walking holiday through Macs and would definitely recommend to anyone considering a similar trip.

    I read reviews of various companies who planned the West Highland Way and I am so glad that I chose to go with Mac's! From the quick replies, to the ease of all the details being handled for us, this was the easiest trip to go on. They did a wonderful job of picking out places to stay along the Way that made us feel welcome and gave us the experience of Scotland. The baggage transfers were all flawless and the app was especially helpful to check that we were on the correct route.

    I used the services of Macs Adventures to book my Best of Camino Walk in May 2023.. I am happy to write that I was delighted with the booking process and the support I received throughout the walk. The hotels were very good and the baggage transfer was flawless. It was comforting to know that, in case of an emergency, I would be speaking to someone rather than a machine. While on the walk I needed to clarify something and I was able to speak to someone even though we were in different time zones. I am signing up for another adventure with Macs in 2024.

    We had a great time! For the most part, everything went well. But, one day the map and the itinerary sent us to different places. we ended up at what we thought was our Inn...It was where our map sent us, but there were no rooms there. When we looked at the itinerary, we were supposed to be 4 miles away... to be picked up less than an hour later... Shouldn't the map and itinerary send us to the same place???
  • Mr Robert Bennett 07/06/2023
    Prepared material well. Dedicated person to follow my reservation and trip. Friendly. Organized. Thorough. Even reaching out while we were on our walk.

    Great trip! Excellent accommodations, great app

    Incredible adventure in Catalonia! Great hiking, food, accommodations, and communication on the tour. The stay at Finca Bell Lloc was simply spectacular and the included winery tour was impressive. This is a really special region and we cannot wait to go back!
  • Lucia 07/06/2023
    The organisation of the section of the Via Francigena walk that I did was excellent. The maps on the MACS app were great and supplemented with written instructions for each day’s walk. Overall, hotels were of a very good standard.

    Everything was very well organized. We loved our trip and felt well supported by Macs Adventure!
  • Mrs Ilse Smed 07/06/2023
    Overall the trip was wellplanned with nice accommodations (as always). There were some bumps regarding timetables on trains and ferry. Contacted Macs by phone and Beth was quick to sort our proplem. We did: Highland and Isle o´f Skye Rail and hike.
  • Mr Victor Elinoff 07/06/2023
    I am a regular traveler with Mac’s. I find there service to be excellent and down graded for 1 reason only. We have repeated problems with receiving hard copies of travel documents BEFORE the trip. On our last trip to Ireland they not only did not come to our US address they were not there as promised at our 1rst Hotel in Ireland. Mac’s appropriately apologized and told us how they were trying to correct the problem. Very nicely Mac’s treated the 4 of us to dinner our last night on the trek. I wanted to be honest about the 4/5 stars. More importantly I would definitely book and travel with Mac again.
