en route to the hotel (with more comfort stops for longer journeys). There’s no rush & it’s most important to travel in comfort! 3-Star & 4-Star Hotels The hotels we use range from larger 3-star or 4-star hotels with leisure facilities to smaller 3-star hotels. Many of the hotels we use are family owned and individually run. All bedrooms have a private bathroom with complimentary toileteries, colour television & a tea & coffee hospitality tray as standard, and some hotels also offer additional little luxuries! We always visit a hotel before we use it, and many of the hotels we feature have been ‘tried and tested’ over the years by our customers to become firm favourites. Daily Excursions We invest a lot of time in researching & planning interesting itineraries for our holidays. You will see an outline of our planned excursions on each of the individual holiday pages. We create gently paced days, leaving at a civilised time after breakfast (usually 10 am) with scenic journeys & interesting places to visit. Everything happens at a relaxed pace & we also ensure that our itineraries are accessible to those of our customers who have more limited mobility. Our itineraries are planned with the benefit of over 30 years of experience in tour planning & management! Lunches We include a daily light lunch on all the holidays, starting from the first excursion day – just one course followed by a coffee (or tea!). There are a selection of light options to choose from, for example homemade soup & a roll or a freshly-made sandwich or a salad or jacket potato and there are also larger options available if desired. We find pleasant venues for lunch that complement our itineraries. Our customers frequently mention how enjoyable it is to have it all arranged for them, especially if they are travelling solo & it certainly adds to the friendliness of the holiday when we enjoy lunch together too. We don’t include lunch on the first day on the way to the hotel (most of our customers bring a sandwich with them & we do make a longer stop at lunchtime). We do include a final more substantial lunch on the homeward journey with the philosophy that it can be the main meal of the day (who wants to have to cook dinner when they get home at the end of a holiday?!) Breakfast & evening meals are, of course, included at the hotel.
