We had a wonderful week of Moderate Walks in the Picos de Europa. Our fellow walkers were all very friendly and the Collett’s staff of George, Rachel and Ross took excellent care of us and they had boundless good humour, energy and enthusiasm. The walks were very scenic, taken at a steady pace with time to admire views and stop when a rest was needed. The Cares Gorge, which we saw in a complete downpour, was spectacular. The hotel was very clean and comfortable, with good breakfasts and helpful staff. Dinner at the restaurant was always a pleasure. It was great to be on a holiday where we didn’t have to hire a car and were transported to and from the walks and the airport.
We always have good holidays with you. We don’t have to plan routes or think about the walking, we can just go to the hotel, Do the walks, relax and enjoy ourselves.
I've travelled with you before and had two excellent holidays, Austria last year and the Dolomites about 11 years ago. This was my first solo holiday abroad and knowing the Collett's format, was entirely comfortable at travelling on my own.
It was an excellent holiday and having an organised week of walks with all the transport included opened up an area that I wouldn't have previously considered as I don't drive abroad.
It would have been good to get a map as part of the information pack sent out prior to the holiday like we did for Austria, but I appreciate the walks we did would cover several maps.
I hope you continue to offer the organised walking weeks, as I would like to do the twin center walking holiday in the Pyrenees next year.
Looking forward to your 2020 dates being published....
I was on the flower walks. Grahams care, consideration and knowledge was amazing, he was great. Kat and Rachel were also fantastic and looked after us really well. I couldn't have asked for more, was so happy with the holiday.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the Collett’s staff involved in setting up and running our recent Picos walking holiday. We had such a marvellous time. The area was stunning and our organisers – Cat, Rachel and George – gave us a wonderful introduction to the surroundings. They were, at all times, kind, helpful, knowledgeable, well-organised and good fun! As this was our first Collett’s hoiday, we were in slight trepidation, not sure what to expect, but we felt at ease soon after arrival and could relax and enjoy it.
The family-run hotel was very comfortable and homely, with very helpful staff. The only improvements we could suggest would be putting fans in the rooms, as it was extremely hot, and perhaps a non-slip mat in the shower.
We will certainly look to book with Collett’s again!
Many thanks once again for a sterling service!
Our first holiday with Colletts and it was all that we hoped for. The accommodation at the Posada El Corcal was of a high a standard, clean and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was great and staff were happy to provide cooked options on request. The lunches provided by Colletts were very good and enough to keep any walker going! As vegetarians we were dubious about what we would be offered to eat for dinner but there were good options every night and the quality and quantity of the food was very good. The walks were as described and the staff guiding were friendly, helpful and considerate of the groups needs. It is a very quiet unspoilt location, in a very beautiful area. Thanks to all the staff at the Posada and Colletts who made this a very enjoyable trip.
We have just returned from a wonderful week in the Picos de Europa. Our trip was made all the more enjoyable thanks to the wonderful Collett's staff. Their professional approach, enthusiasm and local knowledge was impressive and we really enjoyed their company. The Picos is an interesting part of Spain, lovely people and stunning scenery which feels remote and untouched.
The Flower Leader, David Charlton made this holiday extra special, with his enthusiasm, local knowledge, plant recognition and constant willingness to answer questions.
We were looking at other companies for a walking/scenery flora holiday but Collets website was the best and brightest and easy to use to check accommodation - also the small traditional guest houses looked much more homely and comfortable and more suitable for us as an older couple and not keen on busy noisy places x also nice to be looked after in Spain with our little or no Spanish language skills! We were very happy when we saw the lovely photographs and they all lived up to your descriptions.
Value for money? Definitely over and above and extra to that was the care and attention from the family run guest house and bar...
It was our first walking holiday abroad and as older travelers we were a little worried about the travel and destination but Collett's information and photographs helped us to make good decisions and made us more confident and we weren’t disappointed and would definitely book again.
A truly great holiday made better by the dedication and enthusiasm of Sonny, Anna and Emily in the Picos. There is no doubt that we will travel with you again. Many thanks.
