A holiday where the only job is to enjoy it

Planning a trip yourself means hours behind the wheel, motorway services, hotel car parks and a route to work out before you can relax. By the time you arrive you are already tired.

Coach holidays take all of that off your plate. You step on near home, settle into your seat and let someone else handle the driving, the route and the timings.

With most excursions included, the days out are planned too, so you are not working out what to do once you get there. You travel as a group, see more and arrive ready to enjoy it.

There is the green side as well. Coach travel produces eight times lower carbon emissions than flying and a full coach can take up to 27 cars off the road.

A coach holiday is one of the easier ways to see the UK and Europe without the footprint of driving or flying.

What you get on every coach holiday

Coach holidays in the UK bundle the travel and your half-board hotel into one booking so you are not chasing different parts separately.

The standard on every trip is return coach travel and your own reserved seat, with most excursions included so the days out are sorted before you leave.

You travel on our own fleet, not a subcontracted coach, which means we know the vehicle and the driver looking after you the whole way. That is the difference an owner-led, family-run operator makes.

Where our coach holidays go

Our holidays by coach cover destinations across Great Britain, Ireland and Europe, so there is a trip to suit whatever kind of getaway you are after.

  • Coastal and seaside breaks, the traditional favourites like Torquay and Blackpool, for a relaxed week by the water.
  • Historic city trips focused on history and shopping, taking in places such as York and Edinburgh.
  • Scenic countryside escapes through the Lake District and beyond, for the views and the slower pace.
  • Scotland, Wales and the islands, where the drive is part of the holiday.
  • European tours and river cruises, with the long miles handled for you while you watch the scenery go by.

Whether you want a short break or a longer tour, a coastal escape or a city full of history, there is a destination on the list to match.

Comfort the whole way there

A long journey is part of the holiday; therefore, the coach matters.

Our vehicles have air conditioning, individually reclining seats with seat belts and on-board washrooms, plus modern air filtration and disinfection systems.

You stay comfortable from the first pickup to the last drop-off, however far the trip takes you.

Pickup close to home

You join from a local pickup point near you so the holiday starts without a drive to a far-off departure spot.

We pick up across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire and arrange joining points to suit each trip.

Tell us where you are and we will point you to the nearest one.
