How do South Downs Bag Transfers work?

Once you have figured out your itinerary, it’s important to communicate this with the team at South Downs Bag Transfers. Then the team can arrange for your bags to be collected from each accommodation that you stay at after 9am and dropped off at your next stay no later than 4pm.

This could mean your bags will be ready and waiting for you when you reach your destination, so you can shower and change into a fresh set of clothes at once.
