Reviews of Absolute Escapes










Well Organised and Stress Free
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.
Thank you for your review, Tony, we are delighted that you enjoyed your time on the Great Glen Way. If we can be of assistance with any future holidays please do not hesitate to get in touch and we would be happy to help. Best wishes, Daisy Andrews





Absolute Escapes Always excellent
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.

Honeymoon to Scotland
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.
Thank you very much for your review and we were delighted to hear that you enjoyed your honeymoon. We are fortunate to work with some excellent Guest Houses and Hotels throughout the Scottish islands, so it was pleasing to hear that you were looked after so well. Thank you again for your lovely comments. Andy Gabe

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.

It certainly has some of the most spectacular scenery of any of the walks that we offer, and I'm glad that all of the arrangements were to your satisfaction.

West Highland Way the easy way
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. The standard of accommodation was ideal for a long distance walker and the recommendations Absolute Escapes made in the comprehensive itinerary they provided were first class. An unforgettable walking holiday.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Allan. It was our pleasure to organise your journey on the West Highland Way and we're delighted that you had such a good time on your walking holiday! It is certainly an unforgettable experience, and congratulations on completing the route. If we can ever be of assistance in planning future adventures, we would love to hear from you again.

Incredible escape in Wales
I did the central 180kms of the Pembrokeshire Coastline. It was an unforgettable experience. I started in Pembroke and walked to Fishguard over 9 days. It was so sunny the entire time, which I was not expecting after hearing about the weather in Wales. I saw so many increible things, from Seals to Dolphines and some of the most beautiful beaches (this is coming from an Australian).

Abosolute Escapes were very helpful! I was unsure which walking holiday I wanted to do when I reached out. Katia talked me through a range of different options and was even supportive of keeping my budget low. Due to COVID, I was wanting to book it more last minute than usual and they were accommodating with this. Additionally, all the B&Bs booked along the way were so friendly and the food was all so delicious. It was good to know that if I needed anything that I could reach out to Absolute Escapes.
Thank you very much for your lovely comments Sarah. We're really pleased to hear that your Pembrokeshire Coast Path walk was a success and that you enjoyed some lovely Welsh cuisine. It was an absolute pleasure to help you arrange your holiday, and please do not hesitate to get in touch again if we can be of assistance with any future walking adventures!

Brilliant, once in a lifetime holiday.
We decided to do the coast to coast walk over 17 walking days and 1 rest day. A good choice, as we did not get too exhausted, and did not have any blisters. We were lucky with the weather, although 30 degrees was a bit warm for the climbs in the Lake District! We did not suffer any mist, and only 1 hour of rain until the final day, when we got absolutely soaked. The views were tremendous, and the accommodation was very good. All our luggage ...
