Multi-business Way Maker

Welcome multi-business Way Maker, thank you for the important service you provide in delivering the great South West Coast Path experience.

Your portfolios help to unlock the Trail for thousands of walkers each year by making vital accommodation easier to find across the South West Coast Path National Trail, especially for larger groups or for those who want to stay longer and explore the Path from one base.  

As a charity, it is important to us to be fair to everyone, including the smallest businesses on the Path, so if your accommodation business has sites at more than one location along the SWCP (within a 5-mile radius) - for example holiday cottages, hotels or holiday parks - we have a special Way Maker package just for you. 

Way Maker Holiday Cottage Company Package £250 per year
