Wildlife sailing holiday in Scotland
Memorable for me for wonderful wildlife we really saw ( so often we have been disappointed, even in Amazon rain forest). We saw dolphins and seals and lots of beautiful sea birds, we fished and laid lobster pots. We caught a lobster, along with crab and star fish, and netted plankton which we examined under microscope.  (more)
From £578 excluding flights
Coast to coast self guided cycling vacation in England
Hmmm, so many good bits. Seeing such diverse parts of the country with such different landscapes - all within 140 miles; having the route to ourselves most of the time; meeting the challenge of a three-day cycle with quite a lot of big hills; meeting lovely people; great B&Bs etc. (more)
From £295 excluding flights
Cycling vacations in England
Just a lovely relaxing time - bike routes well marked, flora & fauna interesting, pubs perfectly placed for provisions....Really good. Off peak, so avoided crowds. B&B accomodation was lovely - spacious, hospitable & accomodationg. (more)
From £250 - £435 excluding flights
Pilgrims Way self guided walking tour, England
We were blessed with consistently clear, sunny almost 80-degree weather. And the small towns where we stayed overnight were charming and still very rural, but with nice accommodations and pubs. We have never been on a walking vacation of this duration, and it's by far the best form of locomotion.  (more)
From £529 excluding flights
Self catering accommodation up to 3 people, Peak District
The location itself was very quiet and peaceful, but only a short journey to the facilities of the nearest town. It was amusing to be greeted by the free range chickens each time we went out. (more)
From £399 - £578 per cottage per week (sleeps 2)
Devon self catering cottages in England
The most memorable part were the ...scones on arrival (they were the best I have ever tasted!), walking around the beautiful country side and the farm... (more)
From £200 - £595 per week (sleeps 4-8)
Eco self catering accommodation in Yorkshire, England
We loved the location of the straw bale cabin, right in the middle of a working farm, beautiful countryside all around. The only noises the sounds of the animals and birds. Bliss for get away from it all city dwellers. (more)
From £260 - £290 per week (sleeps 2-3)
Yorkshire self catering accommodation sleeping 4, England
We were intrigued to stay in a house made of straw bales and to see how recycling/ reuse can be put into practice and good effect.- we were not disappointed! We found the photo albums showing the building of the house really interesting.  (more)
From £375 - £625 per cottage per week (sleeps 4-5)
Sea kayaking vacation in Scotland
My vacation was in the Outer Hebrides – a wonderful, awe inspiring and educational 7 days. The scenery was magnificent but one the most memorable experience for me was sharing it with five others that were just as impressed with both the location and history of the area as I was.  (more)
From £545 excluding flights
Family self catering cottages, Peak District
Excellent - one of the best self-catering places we've stayed at. Would be very happy to go back there.  (more)
From £385 - £620 per cottage per week (sleeps 5)
Scotland walking vacations
Everything about this trip was great, but memories of the magnificent mountain scenery I'm sure will stay with me forever. (more)
From £725 excluding flights
Cotswolds bed and breakfast accommodation
This was our second visit to The Cotswolds (last over 4 years ago) and we were charmed anew. Too often our vacation experience has been such we're ready to return home after a few days, but on this occasion a week passed quickly, happily, relatively comfortably.  (more)
From £72 - £90 per room per night
Fowey accommodation in Cornwall, England
A particular highlight was the welcome we received from Carrie and Colin. They bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we could possibly want, including maps, guide books and a lift to and from Fowey in the evening.  (more)
From £50 - £100 per accommodation per night (sleeps 2-4)
Lake District mountain biking weekends, England
Fantastic mountain biking in a beautiful location - one of the best vacations I've been on and I came away feeling I'd really pushed myself physically and mentally, and achieved something.  (more)
From £95 - £235 excluding flights
Hiking holidays in Scotland
Everything that can be recycled or reused is, but yet at the same time this doesn’t effect the quality of the service offered and I feel this certainly adds to the whole experience and ambience of the lodge.  (more)
From £326 - £578 excluding flights
Jersey self guided walking tours, The Channel Islands
It is hard to pin point one part - the whole vacation was great. Extremely good.  (more)
From £499 excluding flights
Family cruise in Scotland, lochs and canals
Absolutely fantastic for ALL ages, young and old. Colette is a brilliant cook and the meal she made out of freshly caught Mackerel fish has set a very high bench mark to beat. Michael knows so much and is a very patient teacher. We miss them dearly - thank you for a trip to remember! (more)
From £578 excluding flights
Houseboat vacations in Devon, England
Simply sitting back, enjoying the peace and tranquillity was the most memorable...We genuinely think we had very little impact on the environment. We spent money in local shops - although the nearby Waitrose was a temptation! (more)
From £350 - £715 per week (sleeps 4-6)
Peak District Bed and Breakfast, England
Seeing the farm and the animals and finding out about how they have converted to an organic farm was the most memorable part. (more)
From £40 per person per night
North Cornwall luxury organic accommodation, England
Gill and Neil make you feel very at home and I was very well looked after. I even got a ride out in the pony and trap one evening - an added bonus! I had a lovely, relaxing week and would definitely recommend this accommodation to other people. I would be very happy to stay there again in the future. (more)
From £49 - £60 per person per night
