"Dear Alison & David,
Just got back from three days in Dorset. What a fantastic break - I rate it as my best holiday ever. Despite the pain, not having done a walking holiday before, it was brilliant. From the initial contact to the hotel, the walks and the unexpected views of River Cottage, the whole package was first class.
