Look out for our Anniversary logo These are some of the hotels we have worked with over the last 40 years.

Welcome to England At Albatross Travel, we pride ourselves on the knowledge and experience of our Contract Managers and their understanding of coach group travel. It’s true to say that they live and breathe their areas and have a real passion for creating innovative and varied products. Introducing Mark Cocks, Senior Contract Manager & Destination Specialist Mark says… Introducing Janine Cuff, Head of Contracting & Destination Specialist Janine says…

“I am lucky to look after the south west of England as well as Norfolk and Suffolk. Between them they are some of the most beautiful and popular areas of the country.”

“Based in delightful Derbyshire I contract my home county along with Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire.”

Mark recommends… “ With revamped itineraries and a brand new twin centre offering Cornwall & Devon, the south west of England remains as popular as ever. I am also delighted at the return of both the historic Swan Hotel in Wells (page 117) and the refurbished Delta by Marriott Bristol City Centre (page 116) for 2025.” Introducing Anneka Board, Contract Manager & Destination Specialist Anneka says… historical towns – you can experience so much in a short distance. We have repeated many of our popular and best-selling tours for 2025 but have also refreshed and included more itineraries for you to choose from including our new Centre Stage for Gin & Tea & Shakespeare on page 123. ” Introducing Patricia Parry, Contract Manager & Destination Specialist Tricia says… The English regions adjacent to the Welsh border are popular due to their beautiful scenery; combined with picturesque villages, charming market towns and larger historic cities. “I am delighted to look after some of our Southern England tours as I have a strong passion for, and knowledge of the area. I love the diversity our country has to offer – from the quaint English seaside to beautiful scenic countryside and Tricia recommends… Both the itinerary and hotel for Worcester & A Trio of Shires on page 124 have been updated for 2025 and it basically does what it says on the tin! Our hotel base is the centrally located Worcester Whitehouse and we explore a selection of wonderful destinations and attractions in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire.

Janine recommends… “ Of our 2 new hotels, the Holiday Inn (The Derbyshire) is a great new addition to our portfolio. A hotel who really wants to welcome coach groups in 2025, it is the perfect base for exploring many of the featured local attractions on pages 134 – 137. ” Introducing Jodie Bell, Contract Manager & Destination Specialist Jodie says… “Based in Cumbria, I contract around the north west of England. Jodie recommends… “ Blackpool (pages 150-151) is often considered a purely seaside holiday; however, it is ideally located for touring the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Ribble Valley and the coastal resorts of Morecambe, Lytham St Annes & Southport. Our updated itinerary showcases this, as well as offering 3 fantastic, centrally located hotels.” Introducing Robert Ramsay, Senior Contract Manager & Destination Specialist Rob recommends… For 2025, along with the popular tried & tested hotels & packages, I have refreshed some of our itineraries.”

“ We are proud to feature two new hotels and itineraries on Yorkshire’s east coast. Pages 160 and 161 feature Scarborough and Bridlington, with historic houses and gardens, visits to coastal and market towns and food treats in

both itineraries. On page 159, The Doubletree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa features a Sunday package with afternoon tea included, this would be the perfect venue for a luxury Sunday bed & breakfast break as there are so many restaurant options in charming Harrogate for your guests.”
