Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

Excellent information from Absolute Escapes assisted in making this a very enjoyable experience. The walk took us through some beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Dales and the Eden Valley. The accommodation along the way was in B&Bs which were clean friendly and provided good breakfasts. We had great weather almost every day which was a nice surprise considering it was the middle of April.

Absolute Escapes based in Scotland, provided us with everything we needed including maps an excellent guide of the route and good directions and information on each B&B.Our baggage was transferred each day without a hitch. I would definitely use Absolute Escapes again and would not hesitate in recommending them.

This was our Trip Of A Lifetime. We, mother and daughter, made it to the very end in 7 days and had a great experience. The first three days we had lovely sunny weather. We loved walking through fairy-tale woods and lovely nature. Our feet felt more and more stronger - as we tackled the road, although in the evenings we were awfully glad to put our feet up. Going over Conic Hill, which was quite a steep climb and walking down to the Rowardennan Hotel was lovely in sunshine. Our third day to Beinglas Farm was quite an experience - high over Lough Lomond with spectacular views, but very rocky and we thought a wee bit dangerous - taking our backsides to get over some very steep rocks. The Beinglas Farm accommodation was wonderful - the food lovely and the fellow walkers quite inspiring. It was good to see them clapping their hands, when we entered. Perhaps they thought we would not be able to make it. But we did. The next three days we had highland weather with sleet, snow, wind, rain and also sun. We were well equipped and the rain did not yet wet the insides of our shoes. The long walk to Kings House Hotel across the Moor was spectacular and somehow for us very special. The hotel was lovely nice and quaint. On top of Devils Staircase - with some sun - we enjoyed the wonderful views of the snowy highlands all around us. This was a real highlight for us. Then the weather changed to scottish weather with strong winds and continuous rain. We felt extremely proud of ourselves for braving the elements and walked on and on and on. When we arrived in Fort William we were soaked to the bone and our feet swimming in our shoes. But we were so very happy that we had arrived at last. We embraced Mr. Sore Foot and the passers by cheered us too, which we thought was wonderful. Before going to our B&B the two of us enjoyed a hot whisky - a wonderful ending to a spectacular walking tour.

everything went beautifully, the accommodations were perfect and the bar meals in the restaurants which were recommended good and tasty. The documentation we got was informative and very helpful. We were very grateful for all the help given before the tour.

We walked the West Highland Way. We had great weather, beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodation with good food

We got good information, all arrangements worked very well. On day two we would have liked our breakfast a bit earlier to allow more time for the long day ahead. The accommodation only offered breakfast from 8am. The luggage transport was excellent

We traveled from Edinburgh, Isle of Skye, Ullapool, Inverness, Pitlochry and on to St Andrews. The accommodations were fabulous, every hotel/guest house was great. Every detail of the tour was attended to, everything went of without a hitch. We even received notice during the trip that a ferry had been cancelled and that we would need to make different arrangements to get to Skye, then we were notified that we could be compensated for the additional cost for transportation I cannot say enough good things about Absolute Escapes and the trip they prepared for us.

Walking the great glen although arduous in points was made a wonderful experience by the stunning scenery and first class accommodation provided In some cases the accommodation was so luxurious it was a real effort to don the boots and start walking

Absolute escapes provided very comprehensive itinerary No details were omitted Brilliant accommodation was sourced Service was impeccable Luggage transfers all ran very smoothly At one point we thought we had a problem and we were able to contact tour operator who immediately attempted to address the problem it transpired there was no problem at all and our luggage was in another room Service brilliant

Very enjoyable, beautiful scenery, well organized. The weather was rather cold and very windy but it didn't rain.

Very well organized, extremely good service, good choice of B&Bs. If anything, next time I will request a bath, to help recovering from hard walk.

We enjoyed all our walks. The B&B was excellent.

Average slow to reply. But back was excellent.
