Contours provided good maps. Upon returning home, I called Contours to complain. The owner hung up on me. There are many tour companies in the UK. With almost no exception, the company houses hikers in shabby B&Bs often a mile or more from the trail head. At one stop, the company delivered our luggage to the wrong B&B and did nothing to retrieve our luggage. At the end of a long day's hike, we were forced to walk to where they had mistakenly deposited our luggage and lug it back ourselves. The place we stayed that night was a pit. Leaky toilets. No bottom sheet on the mattress.

I have been on six walking holidays with Contours Walking Holidays and I have really enjoyed every one of them. On every holiday the accommodation has been clean, comfortable and welcoming and with en-suite rooms. I have never had a problem with luggage transfer on any of my holidays. My luggage has always been waiting in my room for me! When I call their office the staff have always been friendly and helpful.
