I love the North Sea coast
I love the North Sea coast, and was delighted to return to Whitby and Scarborough. I saw relatives in the middle of the holiday, which was great. The hotel was excellent. And the coach driver was very funny. I put some images of Whitby on Facebook. Many thanks again Shearings - Ledger. You are a great holiday company!

Thanks for organizing such an excellent tour to Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Lugano. It is a stunning area with the beautiful landscapes, the rich cultural heritage, and food.
We were impressed with the professionalism, friendly accompaniement of Shearing crew members, Derick and Pete. They have strong camaraderie working together as a team, and their sense of humour made us relax and happy. They are knowlegable of the area and were willing to give in depth information.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to join this tour.

Dutch Bulbfields and Ams
The whole thing was seamless from the start. No worry about luggage going missing, transfer to the hub was smooth and straightforward. The hosts Chris and Graziella were superb. Thoughtful, helpful great banter and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were lucky to have a coach fully of great people.The trips were fabulous and can't wait till next year. Chris and Graziella thank you soooooo much, you're worth your weight in gold. Rachael

Liaison with taxis bringing in additional passengers
They do need better liaison with taxi companies bringing passengers TO TV points. We waited a long time at a motorway service area for some joiners but they had gone to the other side.
We agreed to meet at Services 24 but it took a long time to find this solution.

Dear Penny,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the communication and coordination with the taxi companies at the TV point. We’re sorry to hear about the confusion and delay at the service area and understand how frustrating this must have been for everyone involved.
Your comments will be shared with the relevant team to help improve the joining arrangements and communication process for future holidays.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another Shearings holiday in the future.
Kind regards,

Coach was modern and driver was lovely
Coach was modern and driver was lovely. Hotel was very basic and food even more so. Asbestos in the next room! 😳
All attractions/itinerary locations closed. Pointless taking us there!
Thank goodness the weather was nice otherwise it'd have been horrible!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the coach itself and that your driver made such a positive impression.
That said, we’re very sorry that so much else detracted from your holiday. We can completely understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive at locations only to find attractions closed, and to feel let down by both the hotel and the food. It’s also understandable that the good weather made a difficult situation more bearable, though it shouldn’t have had to.
Thank you for being honest about your experience, your comments are important and help us see clearly where things didn’t go as they should have.

This was my first coach holiday with Shearings. The experience was excellent from the moment I stepped onto the feeder coach to being dropped off at the starting point at the end.
Pat, the driver was both knowledgable and friendly, providing history surrounding the places visited.
The hotel was in a fantastic location and the service was above and beyond, which made me feel I was home whilst away from home.
