How booking works

No online checkout. A short conversation, a firm quote, then your trip pack and app before you travel. Here's the whole process from first click to first stile.

  1. You enquire

    Use the enquiry form or email. Rough dates and a vague plan are fine, "two of us, September-ish, not too far each day" is a perfectly good enquiry. If you're between two itineraries, say so and we'll recommend one honestly.

  2. We check real availability

    We contact the actual B&Bs on your dates, no cached availability, no algorithmic guesses. You get back a firm per-person price and the proposed overnight stops, usually within one working day (a little longer in peak season).

  3. You confirm with a deposit

    Happy with the quote? A deposit secures every room and the transfer schedule. The balance is due before departure, dates and amounts are stated plainly on your quote, and the booking conditions cover changes and cancellation.

  4. Your trip pack and app

    Once your balance is paid, your trip pack is ready to download from your client account: every day’s stage, your accommodation with addresses, luggage and transfer details, vouchers and contact numbers. The Trip Tracker app puts the same days on your phone, with a map of each day’s route that works offline.

  5. You walk

    Bags move daily and beds are waiting. Your trip pack and the app have every day’s details and the contact numbers for your accommodation and luggage transfers.

Questions people ask about booking

How far ahead should I book?

For May, June or September: three to six months ahead protects your choice of the scarce central-section beds. Shoulder-season and shorter breaks can often be arranged within weeks, ask, the answer is free.

Can I change dates after booking?

Usually, subject to the B&Bs' own policies, earlier is always easier. The specifics live in the booking conditions rather than in small print you find later.

Do you take card payments?

Payment methods are confirmed with your quote. There is deliberately no online checkout on this site, every booking passes through a human who has checked your dates actually work.
