An excellent Hotel and Tour manager who struck exactly the right balance between friendliness and organiser. Our 2nd trip on this Holiday - it will not be our last!

Fantastic hotel and food. Good trips but too much time sitting and short on doing. RHS Rosemount Gardens excellent but time there far too short.

Fabulous hotel , not very organised , a lot of hanging around and Bill had no knowledge of the area. It was great that our coach driver Luke was local and gave him information and history of the towns we visited.

Good Hotel, Good Location, with great food and staff. Driver Luke local knowledge was very helpful to all.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The area is very scenic, I didn’t know that part of the country was so hilly and our coach driver was an expert at negotiating the narrow roads, hairpin bends and very steep hills. Barnstaple had a very lively high street during the day with plenty of choice of places to eat and lovely shops but was very quiet in the evening. The Imperial Hotel was certainly 4 star, the food was great and the staff very pleasant. There were several steam locomotives at Minehead for the rail enthusiasts and the rail trip took us through more scenic countryside. All in all, a lovely place to visit.

Very good hotel, with high quality food. Free day on the final day not a good idea. Full days apart from this although a lot of businesses not open on Monday. West Somerset Railway the highlight, and Sheppy Cider Farm. Chris a very knowledgeable guide, and we also had an excellent coach driver.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great hotel. Great tour manager. Tours need to be more flexible as to days and weather. Gardens in rain and town market closed all day Monday not ideal. Loved the trains. Lovely any weather ☔️

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
