Accommodation Booking

What is the Accommodation Service?

Sherpa Van offers an Accommodation Booking Service on many of Britain's long distance trails and cycle ways, to take all the worry and hassle out of organising your trip. All you need to do is tell us where you would like to stay each night, and we will do the rest.

From £30.00 per person, we will book and confirm all your accommodation for you. You pay the hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as you follow the trail. We aim to complete accommodation bookings in 10 – 14 working days from receipt.

A minimum of 1 bag is required for accommodation bookings to be made. Please note some trails require a minimum of 2 bags. Please refer to trail pages for details. If bag movements are cancelled and accommodation only requested, you will be charged the cost to move the minimum number of bags required for the duration of your trip.

If you would like to order bag transfers only, please use our luggage booking service.

Campsites & Youth Hostels

Please note that you don't have to be a YHA member to use YHA accommodation, but as a YHA Member you will receive a variety of discounts. Refer to the YHA website.

There are a few hostels we do not deliver to including Black Sail Hut & Ennerdale Youth Hostel. You will need to carry overnight gear and we will store your bag to be delivered to your next accommodation.

If you select Youth Hostel accommodation during your walk, you give Sherpa Van the authority to forward your credit or debit card details to the YHA hostel(s) you have selected as all YHA hostels require prepayment and a card number for advance bookings.

Campsites don't generally need to be booked in advance and many won't take advance bookings. Please indicate when you intend to use a campsite, but be aware that it will not be booked in advance for you. You also need to reconfirm that the campsite is able to accept luggage transfers and store your bags for drop off and pick up.
