Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The hotel de la poste in Bouillon was like something out of a 1940's film noir. It was absolutely amazing. Once past a small loby you could imagine yourself rubbing shoulders with Harry Lime in the bar ( I know that was Vienna ) I found the staff helpful and curtius and the food was a good mix of local cuisine and standard fair. Add to that the location in the Samois valley and I had a thoroughly good time.

Dear Brian,
Thank you for your wonderfully vivid review of Belgian Ardennes by Luxuria. Your description of Hotel de la Poste conjures such a charming image — we love the film noir reference and the thought of Harry Lime in the bar!
It’s great to hear that the staff were courteous and helpful, and t
hat you enjoyed the mix of local cuisine and familiar fare. The setting in the Semois Valley truly is special, and we’re delighted it helped make your time thoroughly enjoyable.
We really appreciate you sharing your experience.

Mostly enjoyable. Visit to brewery disappointing. Need to be able to have a decent meal between ferry and breakfast the next day. Would go again though.

Dear Harry,

I’m very sorry to hear that Belgian Ardennes by Luxuria did not meet your expectations. I completely understand your concerns regarding the hotel, including the accessibility issues with stairs for elderly guests, the condition of the rooms, and the limited space and facilities. I also
appreciate your feedback about the evening meals, lack of water provision, and the departure arrangements — these should certainly have been more suitable for coach parties.

It’s good to hear that you enjoyed Bouillon and that the drivers were very good. Please be assured that your comments will be shared with the relevant teams to help improve future experiences.

Warm regards,
Customer Relations

No food available on arrival after a long trip. The vegetarian meals were poor (two fried eggs and vegetables !) Meatballs in soup! and fish one evening. No tea/coffee in rooms. Very limited clothes storage space (only 3 coat hangars provided). Our opinion was the hotel was not four star. Drivers were excellent and very helpful. Excursions were good.

Good drivers (Chris & Shaun), pleasant hotel (I'd rate it 3 star by UK standards), breakfasts ample but dinners bland. Brewery "tour" is more a "visit" since it's a small affair with only 3 rooms. Battle of the Bulge museum closes weekdays in October - rather a disappointment not to be able to access it. I give value for money rating of 3 since had to pay the hefty single supplement.

Lovely part of Belgium to see - the optional trip was stunning and ideally should be as part of the trip rather than left out. Drivers were as ever, highly professional and extremely helpful.

The tour gave a very good insight in an area of Belgium less travelled by tourists, offering a gentle itinerary to visit picturesque small towns and villages in the Ardennes. Reaching Bouillon is a long trip but the Luxuria coach offers an abundance of comfort topped off by a very considerate crew. Marek and Andy were not only excellent hard working drivers, but were friendly, kind, and providing helpful information about the places we were visiting. The Hotel de la Poste is quirky, laid back but comfortable. Having some dietary challenges I found the hotel made a good effort to provide me with decent food.

Luxuria coach made journey more comfortable but our minibus to coach was awful. It took twice as long as it should have as we wandered all over south Nottinghamshire. Hotel de la Poste in Bouillon is a lovely old building by the river. Breakfast was very good but dinner didn't match the reviews I'd read or what I'd expect from a 4* hotel. No choice, just what you were given, quite bland and unexciting. Included and optional excursions were good. Plenty of things to see and do and enough time allocated. Ferry crossings to and from Dunkirk were stress free as it was quieter than Calais, with the added bonus of a voucher for food!

Excellent drivers & itinerary. I didn't bother with the optional visit. Bouillon was my interest because of its history.

i would have given you a five but because the evening meal needed to be a choice menu instead off just one dish which you did not know until it was put in front of you but apart from that the drivers were great the places visited were really nice so well done looking forward to my next trip with you

The itinerary, coaches and drivers were very good. The 4star hotel was disappointing as we were treated as second class guests - no choice of menu. The travelling was too long, requiring very early starts. Stop 24 was a nightmare - crowded and poor facilities plus unclear instructions about time to board. We 'd think twice about doing it again.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent trip with Shearings. We are pleased to hear that you found the coach and staff to be great and that the hotel and food met your expectations. However, we deeply regret the inconvenience caused by the locations being closed during your visit.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive at destinations only to find them closed, especially during what should be a peak travel time in June.

Your feedback is crucial for us to improve our services and ensure that our guests have enjoyable and fulfilling experiences. We apologise for any disappointment this caused and appreciate your understanding

Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future, providing a more seamless and enjoyable travel experience.

We were disappointed with the hotel accommodation, room size was small and was on the street side of the building so was noisy. One evening we were served meatloaf which was undercooked compared with other meals served ( our dinner was oozing blood). We sent it back and it was returned within a minute with more sauce poured over it but with no change to the bloody state of the food. We decided not to eat it together with others on our table. The same evening the serving staff were rude and unhelpful, compared with other evenings when they were pleasant and polite. The inclusive boat trip was pleasant but we had been booked on to the trip without English commentary so it felt like a waste of our money. This should have been researched better by Leger and booked appropriately as another boat has English commentary available. The resort and towns visited were picturesque but it was a shame that the majority of shops and restaurants were closed, it appeared we were too early in the season.
