Walkwithwilliams Avis 144

This is our 2nd holiday with Walk with Williams this year. As before everything ran like clockwork. All the maps and information arrived in good time and any queries are always quickly answered by Matthew. The baggage transfer was very efficient. It makes it so much easier not having to carry a heavy rucksack and to know dry clothes are waiting for you no matter how wet you get out on the trail!
There was an assortment of accommodation including the newly refurbished Beach House Hotel in Seahouses and a Community run pub in Ridsdale which has the best view from the dining room we have seen anywhere.
St Oswalds Way is a nice route although not as well walked as St Cuthberts. The beginning along Hadrians Wall and the coastal sections are lovely and well marked as they follow either the Hadrians Wall path or the English Coastal path. The route across to Holy Island is brilliant. Do the pilgrims route but double check the tides! The middle section of Oswald isn't that well marked at times and follows quite a lot of enclosed tracks and woods so views are not that brilliant. There are several places of interest to visit en route - Warkworth Castle, Dunstanbugh Caslte, Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne.
Despite the rather wet weather we enjoyed it and we would definitely recommend letting Walk with Williams organise it for you.

Thank you for accommodations .
It was great experienced .We had fantastic time .
I can highly recommend!!

The Cotswold Way was our second walking trip with Walk with Williams, after walking the Norfolk Coast Path last summer. Both times, we had a truly wonderful experience! Everything was perfectly organised, email communication was exceptionally pleasant, and we received all the important documents and maps. The luggage transport worked flawlessly, and the accommodations were consistently good.

We particularly enjoyed the great mix of accommodations: some were very private, some were small and charming B&Bs, some were historically impressive hotels, and there were always rooms and experiences with a special touch. We wholeheartedly recommend Walk With Williams, and the Cotswolds is a wonderful part of England with a rich history, impressive views over the green hills, and many picture-perfect sandstone villages.

We walked the trail in eight days and visited Broadway Tower, Sudeley Castle, and Dyrham Park. If we were to do it again, we would definitely stretch it to ten days or more to have less muscle soreness and more time to soak in the impressions of this wonderful region.

We walked Offa's dyke, southern half, over 7 days in May. It was a great experience. Accommodation, dinner recommendations and luggage transfers were organised by Walk with Williams (WWW) and everything went to plan. Accommodation was good throughout. WWW provided excellent guidance, maps and information for each stage of the walk. We cannot recommend WWW highly enough. We have used them before and will use them again.

Our trip was tailor made to our needs and we are very grateful. Matthew was so attentive and made the whole experience a memorable one! The overnight accommodation was excellent and great value. We could not have done this long distance walk without the support of Walk With Williams especially as Matthew had to transport us around HS2 works along the way. Thank you for your attention to detail, Matthew!

Excellent organisation of our Coast to Coast walk. Arranged a suitable itinerary for our level of fitness and booked good quality accommodation for the length of the route. Also provided very useful extra information about the walking each day, as well as maps and guide book. Two days required pick-ups to transfer us from the route to nearby B&Bs. These both went well.

We had a wonderful walk through the Borders of Scotland on St. Cuthbert's Way. It was our first trip to this area so we were relying solely on the expertise of Walk With Williams.
The logistics that WWW put in place were perfect. Distances between stops met our needs. Each stop was unique and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. Countryside was beautiful.
Would recommend WWW to anyone looking for a help with planning a walk in Great Britian.

A three day walk along the Bucks Way brilliantly organised by Matthew who booked our accommodation, picked us up each evening from the walk and took us to our accommodation, then picked us up the following morning to take us back to the walk. Nothing was too much trouble. I can't rate this company highly enough. Will definitely use them again

This was our 3rd Walk with Williams trip in 3 years and like the others, it was fabulous. This year we did the Cotswold Way, and we had a wonderful time. The inns were good, the walking was glorious (a bit of mud here and there with this late spring) and we met so many wonderful people along the way. We are already plotting and planning our next trip with Walk with Williams, we just need to narrow down which one…

Really impressed with the service provided! Matthew was very informative and quick to respond to any questions we had. Couldn't recommend more- thanks again!

Matthew at WWW planned our five-day St Cuthbert’s Way walk from Melrose in the Scottish Borders to Lindisfarne. He planned and booked everything, even including pre-paid taxi rides when the leg of a walk ended some distance from our overnight accommodation. Everything went really smoothly. His advice about when we would need to book dinner in advance was spot on - critical in relatively big villages like Wooler and Jedburgh, where you’d expect choice but may have just one option. The pack he provided in advance was superb: three OS maps, a bespoke SCW map and a day-by-day guide. He was there too whenever we had a query but, once we had set off, all the info was there. Great accommodation choices too. The only extra item that we found provided a comfort blanket that we bought ourselves was Ronald Turnbull’s excellent St Cuthbert’s Way 2nd edition guide. It gives more step-by-step instructions, though the Way is extremely well marked and the OS maps are really clear. I would invest in a WWW package in future without a second thought. Exceptional professional service - Phil & Sophie

Communication excellent throughout, arrangements for us and our 2 big dogs were perfect, luggage transport hassle free, everywhere we stayed on the St Cuthberts Way was so welcoming. Stunning scenery and challenging walks. Just back and exhausted now though!

The Ridgeway was a very beautiful hiking trail. We really appreciated Matthew's individual organisation and service, especially compared to other organisations. The help with the car park planning for our car and working out the connections with public buses was very helpful. Thank you very much!

Great walk! Organisation was smooth with bags being at each destination. Accommodation was good - comfortable and staff friendly. Could have done with drying facilities at each stopping location especially as this was a walking holiday in April in the UK!

The Hadrian's Wall Walk was something I dreamt about doing for years! Finding a company who provided everything I needed was a blessing. Communication was excellent and the resources they provided comprehensive. I will definitely be using Walk With Williams for future adventures!

Cancelled walking tour full 6 months in advance and was charged £277 for the privilege. Shocking !

The organisation of the itinerary was great and the booking of accommodation was much better than we could have managed on our own without local knowledge. Matthew was extremely helpful and responded quickly and efficiently to email queries as we prepared for the trip.

I’m a bit of a control freak so I checked with all the B&B’s prior to arriving and all was in place as booked already by the company. Our bags were picked up as promised and delivered in plenty of time. Taxis were available when we needed them. All went well.

The team at Walk with Williams was very quick to respond both when we were planning the trip and after we arrived. They customized a route for us, and we loved all the different accommodations. They also gave us advice on train bookings and SIM cards. Would book with Matthew again!
