We wanted to see as much of the UK as possible, on our time of roughly 11 days in country and our budget. Stephen, primarily, and the High Point team did a great job planning. Thanks to you all.
One observation on the timing. On day 2 driving to Bath, Tintern Abbey and eventually, Cardiff, we really didn't have enough time to see Bath. By the time we parked near the city center in Bath, it was time to go to Tintern. I drove the speed limits for the most part. Bath was a suggestion anyway and we don't think not touring around town detracted from the overall trip. We especially liked the accomodations selected. VRBO-like places to the small hotels, we liked them all. Favorites were Juniper Cabins, Gwynfryn, and Six Brunton in Edinburgh.

For some reason they thought it was our anniversary so the room was rose-petaled and swan twisted towels forming a head to head heart. The wine and chocolate we're appreciates.

Awesome place to stay, church's preacher's residence and his church for the bar and restaurant way too cool!!! Parking a little challenging, parking after 6 all night cheap enough about $1 but jockeying car around a little of a pain.

Authenticity & Character
It's an old church!
