Your Walking Accommodation Honeycombe House Mevagissey - Encounter Cornwall Walking Holidays in Cornwall & Walking Short Breaks in Cornwall on the Cornish Coastal Path, South West Coast Path, Saints Way and Smugglers Way
A friendly welcome at the end of long days walking makes a big difference. Because we tailor make your holidays working with you we can be totally flexible about the accommodation you pick.
In remote sections options will be limited but by using our local knowledge and transfers if its possible to provide what you want then we can do it. Over the years we have booked everything from Youth Hostels to £400 a night suites in the West Countries finest hotels for our customers.
To help ensure you have the right accommodation selected for you we provide you with the websites of the suggested accommodation so you can assess what you would be getting before booking. 
All our regular accommodation is right on or as close to the trail as we can get it. In a couple of remote areas there is no accommodation or there is so little available it is often booked out. In these situations we arrange transfers to and from the trail for you or arrange for you to spend two nights in one place.
 
The Accommodation Options
The Regular Option. Our regular accommodation is all comfortable, clean and most importantly walker friendly with ensuite or private bathrooms. There is always an option for evening meals either close by or at the accommodation itself and information on this will be in your itinerary.
The Upgraded Option. As we produce tailor made breaks, in many locations we can also offer you hotel and 4 star B&B accommodation options with greater levels of luxury and wider facilities for those wanting more comfort. 
The Budget Option. We want everyone to enjoy the walking routes. If cost is the most important thing let us know,  we can often come up with accommodation to suit, from campsites and youth hostels through to bookings with more basic but clean and welcoming B&B’s.
Or a mix of everything ! remember that we tailor things to you and its your holiday – so if you can’t afford hotels all the way but want to treat yourself on the last night as a celebration – then just tell us on the enquiry form and we’ll provide you with the options and prices to consider.

Prices
 
Have a good look at the route description for the walk you want to do and decide which sections you want to walk. We can accommodate whatever sections and overnight stops you want for as many days as you want to be out on the trail. There are no fixed departure dates and you can travel any day subject to availability of accommodation, walking for as long as you choose.
 
A Note on guide prices -

Because no two itineraries are the same this also applies to the prices. We provide guideline prices based on the basic, no frills B&B based walking holidays to give you a starting point.  In our quote depending on what you have asked for, we will give you an exact and guaranteed price which will depend on the route, the accommodation suggested and offered and factors like the time of year and how you intend to get to and from the trail.
 
However part of the process of creating an itinerary is to get the right holiday at the right price for you, so wherever possible if you wish to reduce the price we will look at options to achieve this  - just let us know. By working this way we can provide you with a definitive confirmed itinerary based on what you actually want with a price quote so you can see exactly what is included and be assured that the price is guaranteed and not going to be increased at a later date with sudden surcharges.
