I am planning a trip for 2018 of a walking tour through the Cotswolds - one that goes from town to town, staying in B&bs or small inns and where they transport your luggage while you walk. Looking to travel 7 days or so, May/June time frame. There are several companies that run tours at various price points. Can anyone recommend a specific company?

I've been happy with Contours Walking Holidays, but my Contours walks were further north (Lake District and Coast to Coast) and Scotland. Contours does the bookings, arranges luggage transport and provides maps, guidebooks and walking instructions/advice. Contours will custom book layover days and walks can be done with short or longer walking days. Walks are self-guided.

Cotswold Walks worked for us. Ran into Contours and Macs Adventures folks that were quite satisfied also.

You can plan it yourself and save lots of money. It was really easy booking the B&Bs. My friend and I walked the Cotswold Way, and I planned the whole walk. found a great company The Volunteer Inn who transferred our luggage from B&B to the next B&B , our bags were there by the time we got there.

We used Andrew Guppy - Cotswold Walks. We had an 8 night stay in the Cotswolds in August. Our friends also used Andrew, two years ago.
