Coastal Exmoor Traveller Reviews

Our self-guided walking tour was 7 nights (5 days of walking) through Exmoor National Park primarily in Devon. Most of the walking was coastal with massive views but also provided nice variation; farm, woodland, river valleys. Each days route was easy to follow. We primarily used the GPS app on our phone but occasionally used the printed instructions. We enjoyed each of the accommodations and the food was excellent throughout. This is our 3rd trip with On Foot Holidays and we highly recommend them.

This is our third self-guided walking tour with On Foot Holidays. They are very attentive to our needs as we choose and customize our walking tours. In addition, they are supportive during our holiday although to be honest, everything is so well prepared that they are not needed during our trips. Still, it is nice to get a call from a local contact at the start of our holiday should any needs arise. I also appreciate how On Foot follows up with our experience post holiday. I always get the impression that they use our feedback to improve future walkers' experiences.

Walking in June we had good weather with a route well planned and straightforward. Comprehensive notes and maps along with GPS files all help to reassure the walker. Despite being on the coast there was much that was inland with a variety of options and interests catered for. As with all live walking trails you are reliant on previous walkers recording changes, but no problems encountered, and there is access to a local agent if problems occur. Accommodation was good to very good. Not our first walk with On Foot and not our last.

Contact both before and after the holiday was prompt, friendly and efficient with a necessary update being passed on before departure. Talking to the staff a number knew the route from having personally walked it.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed walking in Coastal Exmoor. The views of the sea, rugged outcroppings, peaceful meadows, and cordial towns made for many memorable experiences. We love walking for hours in nature, and Coastal Exmoor delighted us. Exploring at a walking pace fostered deep appreciation of the land, the sea, the culture, and the people. We grateful for our experiences and for the genuine care extended to us by On Foot Holidays staff.

On Foot Holidays staff are the best. This was our fifth self-guided walking holiday with them. We are happy repeat clients because the staff are deeply committed to assisting their clients. They are detail-oriented and provide excellent, thorough information before and during the trip. They have chosen wonderful walks, pleasant accommodations, and they really know the locales and the providers at each location. Their customer service is frankly exemplary. They think of small details to make the experience go smoothly. We love to walk, and we look forward to our next On Foot Holidays adventure. I routinely recommend On Foot Holidays to friends and family. We give On Foot Holidays our highest recommendation.

We walked the coastal Exmoor route with our young daughter. Lovely mixed terrain, beautiful hidden coast locations, and comfortable / friendly accommodation. Overall the holiday was a nice balance of exhilarating and relaxing, and thoroughly enjoyable.

We wanted a UK trekking holiday that we could bring a baby to. Two other holiday companies had so far told us that they could not accommodate our request. On Foot Holidays made sure that we could do it, kindly tailoring the itinerary to ensure that the holidays would be appropriate for travelling with a baby. Communication was excellent and all instruction / information was thorough. When on the trek, we always felt like the operator was there to assist if we needed them; they helped organise alternatives / checked information on our behalf on a couple of occasions without issue.

We have just returned from a lovely holiday walking along the North Devon coast and exploring some beautiful parts of Exmoor. Despite wet weather and a chest infection we had a good time.

On Foot Holidays enabled us to make the most of our time from the very first day by highlighting the best walking routes, pretty villages and places to visit. The walking notes were very good and provided a lot of background information. The route description was straightforward and we never lost our way. We used the route shortening suggestions almost every day due to wet weather and ill health. Despite these setbacks the holiday was fantastic because of the stunning countryside, lovely villages and good accommodation. We enjoyed the variety of places to stay - a pub, a B&B and three small hotels.

We went on a walking holiday in Coastal Exmoor for 6 nights organised by OnFoot Holidays

We have walked 7 times with OnFoot and every time they have been excellent. We look forward to doing another walk next year

We walked a route from Hadden's Cove to Dunster, through Devon and Somerset, before traveling to St. Ives to walk a loop along the Southwest Coastal Trail in Cornwall; these two trips lasted about 2 weeks. The landscapes and coastal vistas were spectacular as was the weather. We enjoyed our over-night accommodations no end. These were the second and third walking trips that we have completed with On Foot

In our opinion (we have been serious world travelers for many years), On Foot is quite a remarkable company. Not only are there "front-end" services superb; their "on-foot" services are as well. For example, in this dual trip outing, we ran up against a few unpredictable incidents: Although the company was not responsible for our travel between the two walks, I did contact them for support when it appeared that the rail strike would derail our projected itinerary. Within moments, they were able to tell me how to respond, by telling me to contact National Express Bus on-line and to book bus tickets, and sure enough, we were able to do all of this and arrive in St. Ives in time to start our walk without disruption to our itinerary. On our Exmoor walk, my husband lost one of his hearing aids and when we called the hotel to inquire as to whether this had been found in our room, they apparently alerted On Foot to our predicament and they helped relay the message that the missing item had not turned up. In the event, we think it had blown out of his ear when we were walking on the high Devon coast!! I can only think that this kind of attention is extraordinary, since in neither case was On Foot responsible for us! We also did their walk on the Camino Primitivo in fall 2017--another exceptional experience with the same apparent eye to detail.

From start to finish this was a triumph , to the hotels booked to the careful walking instructions , for the accurate timings and difficulty descriptions to all the tips and advice given .. just a brilliant holiday .

The attention to detail was so refreshing .. everyone worked like clockwork , no stress we just had everything arranged for us Simply excellent

Beautifully organized walking trip through Exmoor -- I loved the literary connections and the historical notes each day. The coastal path and view of Wales was spectacular. But more than that -- it was July, it was hot -- and the shade that the enchanting coastal woodlands provided was most welcome. The accomodations were first-rate and the breakfasts and dinners so delicious. I love walking with On Foot because I feel like every detail is taken care of and my family and I can just enjoy the experience. Loved learning about Coleridge and all the rest -- it really brought all the high school poetry studying to life.

They love walking themselves and they know the routes! Also the local contact is responsive and so very helpful as we went along. This is not my first trip with them -- I am most grateful -- and I can't imagine taking these precious holidays with any other tour operator. Thank you!!!

Coastal Exmoor walking holiday. 4-days of moderate walking between Barnstable and Dunster with overnight accommodation provided in hotels along the route.
