Great choice & great value
We have been organising outstanding value for money holidays since 1979 and during that time many thousands of satisfied customers have been on our coaching holidays. We own hotels in four of the best seaside resorts in the UK: Devonshire Hotel in Torquay * , Daish’s Hotel in Shanklin, Isle of Wight * The Sands Hotel in Bournemouth * and the recently acquired 3 star Barrowfield Hotel in Newquay. Each hotel has all the usual facilities, including a lift to most floors, centrally heated en-suite bedrooms with TV and tea & coffee, with the added bonus of live entertainment every night of the week. We also own a fleet of 49 seater luxury coaches, with toilet and wash facilities and air-conditioning. With friendly staff and good home cooking it’s not difficult to see why we welcome back 1000s of guests time after time.
