Uk coach holidays

Posts: 24 Forumite
Can anyone recommend a good company. Hubby doesn’t fancy driving far anymore and we thought we’d try a coach holiday in uk
reading trip advisor. On leger and shearings not brilliant . Plus we’re both tall so need the legroom if we’re just sitting.
We’re Manchester so would like a few hours travelling but not 7+
thanks

Are there local companies in Manchester that do this? There are certainly a couple in South Wales so should imagine a large city like Manchester will have some.
Be warned though that pick ups can take forever......
So sometimes it is better to find out where the companies main pickup points are and drive there to get on coach.
Local pickups can turn an hour journey into two hours or more

Do Blake's do anything near you?
A lot of my neighbours use them and enjoy the holiday.
Castles of Wales sounded nice to me.
Legroom may be a problem as one can sit in the aisle seat and drop legs. I've seen that done. But both?
Just adjust your expectations. Hotels booked for coach parties are ok but food is average as are the rooms. Dinner is served for everyone at the same time with a limited menu.
You do have to clock watch on outings, pay attention to where the pick up is.
You are limited to where they choose as a trip out, you don't have time for a taxi, bus to explore as you may not be able to get back in time should anything be delayed.
Adjust and it's fine considering everything is organised for you.I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

If you fancy going to Scotland, I would recommend 'Lochs and Glens'.2

Are there any day trips from Manchester that you could try first to see if you like them, before signing up for a week etc.?0

Haven't used them personally but Shearings is very popular and have been going a long time.
