Absolute Escapes Traveller Reviews

We travelled on Mull, Skye and Lewis / Harris and had a brilliant time. The Bed and Breakfasts chosen by Absolute Escapes were all excellent. Super hosts and spotlessly clean with great choice of breakfasts in each The suggested itinerary provided along with eating suggestions were very helpful.

Absolute Escapes were excellent throughout, from the initial enquiry to sorting out the trip to cater for what we wanted to do and see. Communication was always clear and informed, to the point that when a ferry crossing was cancelled at short notice, they made sure we were aware and immediately provided a range of solutions which worked out well. The pack sent prior to the trip was comprehensive and it was clear that considerable research had gone in to putting our package together.

We began with a visit to Edinburgh . Our guest house was within easy walking distance of the Royal Mile, pubs and restaurants and the inclusion of a ticket for the hop on hop off bus was appreciated as it gave us a good overview of the city. Next stop was Oban after collecting our comfortable hire car. Sadly the weather in Oban was not good but the location of the accomodation was good , food was great and we were still able to get out and about as we were so close to seafront. On to Skye via the ferry from Mallaig. The journey was good, all went smoothly and our accommodation was in a superb location overlooking the bay. We really enjoyed all the wonderful scenery and long walks as the sun came out. Skye was a real highlight of our trip. Next stop was Speyside at the home of wonderful hosts at Highland Spirit guest House on Dufftown. This was a real treat and another highlight . Finally we arrived in full sun in Callendar and were able to visit Loch Lomond with ease. We covered a lot of ground at a relaxing pace with excellent preparation from Absolute Escapes.

Lots of information provided prior to our trip enabled us to plan our days out and helped with pre booking of places to eat in the evenings. All of the accomodation was very good.

We walked the Great Glen Way booked through Absolute Escapes. We had tried booking the accommodations ourselves but were struggling to find availability which is why we used Absolute Escapes. Whilst I accept we paid a little bit more, everything was sorted for us.

We contacted Absolute Escapes who sorted everything for us including adding an extra day at the end. Very friendly, no pressure from them and the whole trip went exceptionally well.

We walked the Borders Abbeys Way last week in lovely weather. The path was well signed throughout and the guide book provided was up to date and accurate. A E did their usual amazing organisation and planning for us and everything went like clockwork, hotels grand and eating recommendations ditto. We did take the precaution of booking all restaurants before we left due to covid restrictions and it was worth doing as they were generally busy.

Used Absolute Escapes several time and never been disappointed with their service, highly recommend

Visiting the Western Islands was a fantastic experience- it was so well organised by Absolute escapes and accommodation was well chosen

Absolute Escapes are such an easy company to deal with - they are professional and very helpful when deciding accommodation etc

My husband and I had a great time on honeymoon up in Scotland. We started off on the Isle of Arran, then made up way to Mull, followed by Skye, and finished off in Loch Lomand. A fantastic experience.

Charlotte was fabulous, listening to what we wanted from the holiday, and tailoring the number of days in each place to suit us. The information provided in advance was very helpful, and the accommodation booked for each place was excellent.

Walking from Melrose in Scotland to lindisfarne. All arrangements (accommodation, luggage transfer) were organised by absolute escapes. The route had excellent waymarking. All accommodation was of a high standard making my walk trouble free allowing me to enjoy the walking experience.

This was the 5th time I have used this operator. I have never been disappointed. Great attention to detail leaving me to enjoy my experiences.

Great walk on West Highland Way, with super weather and spectacular views. Great accommodation and met many interesting people.

Absolute Escapes we’re exceptionally helpful especially when we had to cancel twice due to COVID. The accommodation they organised was very good and the luggage pick up went very smoothly. Overall an exceptionally good tour operator.

This walking holiday organised by Absolute Escapes was a pleasure to be on. The accommodation chosen by them was excellent and just what was required after a hard day’s walking.. I would recommend them most highly for anyone considering this walk.

Absolute Escapes organised the accommodation and baggage transfer for my West Highland Way self guided walking holiday and they were a pleasure to work with from the point of booking.

An unforgettable walking holiday.
