The rail excursions were very entertaining, with lovely scenery. Our guide was top notch, so very helpful. The hotel was good but marred slightly by slow dinner service. They did however have a brilliant breakfast service.

Good choice of hotel. We particularly enjoyed the day out on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway and the visit of the engine shed and "Rail Story" commented by enthusiastic volunteers and also the village of Haworth with the Bronte heritage. The coach driver was very knowledgable and also provided us with comments all the way to Whitby.
