Holiday Details


Differences, if any, from our standard trip? (Our standard West Highland Way trip has 7 walking stages and 8 nights accommodation)


How many rooms does your group need?(Please note we can only book a maximum of 6 rooms for each group. If you have more than 6 people some people will need to share rooms)


Please let us know your preferred room types in the hotels

Please let us know your preferred accommodation mix


Stage 5 on our standard 7-stage trip ends at Kingshouse Hotel, a remote hotel on Rannoch Moor. As standard we don't book accommodation at Kingshouse, as this is 'comfier' than our usual options. Instead, we book you into accommodation in nearby Glencoe (which is a short taxi ride away - the taxi transfers are included in your trip).
If you'd prefer to stay at Kingshouse instead, please do let us know. In this case we will add a supplement to your trip price when we send your accommodation schedule.

We'd like to stay at Kingshouse
