“Great scenery and trails. Loved this route. I have recommended this trip to others.”Dr Hacking, Canada
“Overall it went very well. Good job Contours! Overall, the accommodation was very good for a walking holiday with a dog in tow. All of the places were warm and everyone was helpful and considerate, very important after a strenuous walking day. No problems anywhere having the dog with us. We enjoyed much of the walk, especially the fantastic views The Lakes have to offer.”Mr Young, UK
“It was an excellent experience and the route was exceedingly well done. The weather was great as well. Contours did a good job of booking our inns. There were a variety. We especially enjoyed the B&B because of the lovely owner. We were delighted to have a large room at Wasdale Head and the Ambleside Inn was the best. Contours did an amazing job --- information before, route planning, and booking. The Lakeland Route was just perfect for me as I'm 80 and needed a route I could manage.”Ms Huddleston, USA
