HF Holidays have been awarded Which? Recommended Provider

HF Holidays - a British co-operative with over 100 years of experience - beat off stiff competition from household named travel agents and tour operators to be chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider for Holiday Companies in 2017.

The UK's leading walking and outdoor holiday specialist, HF Holidays was commended for its outstanding customer service record and awarded five stars across the board. An incredible 87% of respondents who had used HF Holidays said they would book with them again. One customer commented: “What attracts me most is the standard of accommodation, the level of organisation, the walks offered and that I will be travelling with like-minded people.”

Every year over 60,000 guests choose to travel with HF Holidays to destinations all over the world, which makes them Britain's largest walking and outdoor leisure holiday specialists. Besides owning and operating 18 country houses in the most beautiful nature spots, the co-operative society has obtained Gluten-Free Accreditation for all of them from Coeliac-UK, making it the only British holiday provider to do so.

Jim Forward, Chief Executive at HF Holidays, said: “We are absolutely thrilled with the Which? Holiday Companies survey results and is a testament to the hard work, passion and enthusiasm of our team.

“We are totally committed to delivering an unrivalled walking holiday experience and helping people enjoy the great outdoors. We will build on this achievement with fresh enthusiasm and ideas ensuring HF Holidays continues to delight customers.”
