England by Rail - Escorted Holidays

“It lived up to my expectations.

“A great holiday in a lovely part of the country in spite of inclement weather. The excursions were well planned and the hotel met all our needs - very comfortable, good food and excellent service.

“A very good five days Holiday, Good food an rooms,Great lady that tooks us around & Great Train rides

“Loved this Tour. Great guide and holiday full of activities. Exceptional!

“Did what it said on the tin

“A beautiful area to visit, lovely market towns like Buxton and Bakewell (and the yummy Bakewell Pudding), historic houses and heritage railways. We travelled on a Rail Discoveries tour which was excellent, all trips included and a great tour manager to ensure it went without a hitch.

“A great venue in an interesting location with well trained pleasant staff and plentiful food

“We loved the the whole trip, especially the Heritage train journeys. Wonderful visits to Broadway, Cheltenham with Worcester as an excellent base.

“Great holiday made even better by the fantastic weather. The itinerary is just right, packing plenty in with 1 free day to do as you please. Our tour manager Colin was knowledgeable about the area which is an added bonus of course. As regular customers with the company we're very aware that this is not always the case, they are after all tour managers not tour guides. The 3 star Barnstaple hotel is only let down by it's location, a half hour walk from town with an industrial estate behind it. This made it a bit noisy at times as they worked through the nights. If it wasn't for that I suspect this would be a 4 star hotel as everything else was excellent and the food outstanding, best choice and menu we've ever had on a Rail Discoveries or Great Rail Journeys holiday. I believe that next year they're using a hotel closer to the town centre by the same hotel chain, so hopefully that will help make a great holiday into a perfect holiday.
