Accommodation satisfaction levels varied greatly. Bovey Castle 5 star. Hawk Church 3 star and Signature hotel (starting point) 2 star.
Every stop was well introduced and we got to see a variety of features of the towns and villages and landscapes. I especially loved the stop at Two Bridges Inn on Dartmouth.
Fabulous locations, great accommodation and excellent meals.
Tour leader especially knowledge of bus driver food and accomodation excellent I loved driving on the back roads and seeing the real U K
The places visited were of great interest but I would have liked more time in each town. The solo traveller charge was too high as only one seat on the bus was used and meals for just one person. Extra charge for accommodation was understandable, but nothing else.
Loved everything. Tours exceeded expectations
Great trip and well paced
Cannot fault the itinerary and accommodation. Everyone was very pleasant and the service experienced everywhere was excellent. The beautiful scenery spoke for itself,
Fantastic scenery along coast lines and inland places
Worth the money spent on the trip.
We were very well looked after. Great driver, tour director, beautiful food and accommodation
Cornwall is fascinating with unique physical features.
Food and services first class.
We really enjoyed the trip but were disappointed at how villages like St Ives were so touristy and over run with aggressive seagulls that totally spoilt the experience
Returning via Dorset, I thought somewhere in Devon would have been better
Tour itself was very good, maybe less time in Salisbury.
Well organized and we saw what we wanted to see
Great tour, great tour leader and driver. They were very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The small bus was perfect for driving down Cornwall's tiny narrow lanes. We got to see places not normally done by the larger buses.
Even though the weather was not the best the sights were still spectacular
Emilie and Robert were fantastic to travel with. Emilie was well organized, informative and very professional. Robert's driving was very precise considering the narrow roads and I had every confidence in his driving skills. The tour covered a lot ofarea and true to form, we travelled on mainly back roads through villages and down country lanes.
Comprehensive tour of this area and it's many points of interest with great accommodations and meals.
Good value for money with a group that was not too big enabling us to feel as one group thereby enhancing the level of cooperation.
Definitely off the beaten path. Guide had and could relate extensive local knowledge of Cornwall. Both he and driver were excellent, especially with accommodating older travellers.
The guide and the driver was excellent and they knew their job and history of the area
The knowledge, professionalism and friendliness of your drivers and particularly of your tour guide Edward, were exceptional. The tour itself was equally exceptional. We particularly enjoyed the small tour party size and believe this policy sets Backroads apart from other tours.
Cornwall was a beautiful travel destination. A very strong point was stopping at locations many groups don't go to, such as an ancient circle of stones on a farm. The small fishing villages and the garden we toured were gorgeous.
