Comments & Testimonials
We returned to Belgium and wanted to let you know how satisfied we are about our holiday in the Cotswolds. It is really a beautiful region and we enjoyed every minute of it. The hotels and B&B's were wonderful, with a special mention for Guiting Power, Burford and Cirencester! We will recommend your company to all our friends and family!

Thank you very much for organising the lovely holiday for me. I had a ball, even though I got lost constantly. This would be a function of my inability to read a map, though considered quite intelligent otherwise. Also, we in Oz have a different perspective of distance, so a short walk for us is probably a longer walk in the UK. When I got lost, I merely waited and asked the first person I saw. One of my nicest experiences in getting lost was on day one when I ended up on Cleeve common and Cleeve hill. The golfers were very kind. They recommended lunch at the golf club, which was lovely and then one of the group took me to the foot of Belas Knap, a special place.

We had a very good time and were very lucky with the warm sunny weather. We walked the full walk on Thursday from Burford to Northleach and then returned by a slightly different route on Friday. The walk to Northleach was very pretty but the first section to Little Barrington on the road was quite hard work, although the views of the river were nice. We walked this section on the way back on Friday and with tired legs it was an effort. On Thursday, the Australians decided that they didn't want to repeat this road section, as they had walked it on Wednesday. Therefore they took a taxi to Sherborne, where we met up with them. We had lunch at the shop/cafe in Sherborne. This was very good and just what we needed; to be recommended!
The general comment on the hotels from the Australians and us was very positive and the quality and 'old English' feel about them was perfect. We had dinner in the hotel in Burford and the food was very excellent. The hotel in Northleach was also very attractive. The bed was particularly comfortable and the pillows were just like home! (something that often lets down even the most expensive hotel). Again the food was very good, although at this price, we thought that to pay extra for a cooked breakfast was a little unnecessary.
We were very pleased to join our friends and we all enjoyed the holiday. Thank you for the map which we will post tomorrow.
