Beginning the Camino Frances Sarria to Compostela, the week after Holy Week this year. Can anyone give me some advice on the best route from London - is it best to travel to Compostela and get the bus back to Sarria ?
Any advice on Accommodation before hand or just arrive?
This is my first time so any advice I would be really grateful.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
yep,
and you probably want to book your night in sarria as you will have been travelling for most of the day
Buen Camino

You could fly Vueling from Heathrow to A Coruna, then take the train to Sarria.

It's barely a 2 hour train journey from/to either Santiago de Compostela/Sarria. I've done it both ways.

Alternatively Easyjet fly to SdeC from Gatwick, and RyanAir from Stansted.
 
You can also fly to Madrid and catch the train from Madrid Charmatin to Sarria and then fly back from Santiago.
