Accommodation Way Maker
Becoming a Way Maker gives you the chance to link into the year-round walking market and capitalise on your location on or near the Path.
Visitors to the South West Coast Path always need a place to stay. Some are looking to stop just a short while as part of their journey to complete the linear route, but others are looking for somewhere to base themselves whilst they enjoy coastal walks in the area.
We promote a wide range of Way Maker accommodation including B&Bs, luxury hotels, hostels, farm stays, pub stays, glamping pods, camp sites and cottages. So whatever type of stay you offer, you’ll be sure to boost your bookings with one of our Way Maker packages. And as you get a direct link from our website to yours, there is no third-party booking fees.

What our Way Makers say
Don't just take our word for it. Find out what some of our existing Way Makers love about being linked to the South West Coast Path.
Bed and Breakfast/Farm Stays
Our packages are ideally suited for B&B owners, guest houses and farm stays looking to give walkers a taste of home comforts, with friendly hosting, local knowledge and a fantastic breakfast to start their day. Offering single night stays is recommended but not essential.
“Catering for walkers has helped us to extend our season from February through to December and we’re now welcoming visitors from all over the world." Channel Vista Guest House
“The membership is amazing value, we get so much business through the Association that it’s the only advertising we do. Walkers are fabulous, I haven't had a walker I don’t like! More and more people are putting their own itineraries together, so the fact that walkers can find us on your website is great for us.” Silver Cottage B & B
Self Catering
Walkers love self-catering as it gives them more freedom and flexibility to enjoy the Path and the surrounding area. Choose from our standard packages above if you have just one property or check out our Multi Package to list multiple properties.
