St Cuthbert's Way, 5 days' walking from Melrose to Holy Island

Rating for tour operator:
Mickledore arranged excellent B and B for each night halt and provided all the information I needed along the way. This included a guide book and map of the walk (waterproof, although I completed in the dry!) tide and bus timetables, where to eat, shop and find other facilities. I didn't opt for packed lunches or baggage transfer, but these could be added to the package if wanted.
