My husband and I enjoyed this holiday (made even better because of perfect weather) and the group was very friendly. The hotel was in the attractive village of Wetheral, an ideal location for all our excursions. The Crown Hotel had friendly and helpful staff and the food was good, with a wide choice. We also had a nice, comfortable room. The only criticism we have is that (without warning or explanation) no one in the group had their rooms tidied and the coffee/tea was not replenished throughout our stay. It didn't make a great deal of difference to us but I thought it a little strange and have never stayed at a hotel before when this was not done. Also, it took until the third day for us to realise we could ask for more tea bags and coffee sachets etc at reception, No one had informed us of this. Besides this strange omission, the hotel was excellent. The tour manager, Nick, was friendly and organised and because many people on the tour had problems with getting home caused by the rail strike, he put a lot of effort into ensuring group members were helped as much as possible. We enjoyed the tours, loved the train journeys and were captivated by Muncaster Castle. It was a shame we didn't have more time at Muncaster Castle (the 1 hour 45 minutes that we did have was not nearly enough and with the array of beautiful and interesting things to see, it was frustrating not to be able to enjoy the vast majority of them). However, it was good to be introduced to the Castle and we shall try to visit it for a whole day sometime in the future.

Very interesting, and a beautiful area to visit. Everything was extremely well organised and the guide was great. Hotel and staff were good. More time at some destinations might have been better. All in all a most enjoyable holiday.
