Everything was fine about this tour but for me - just a personal irritation = I am growing less and less happy with long coach journeys. You delivered a fine programme at good value but I am liking coach travel less and less. And then, on departure, we had to take coaches home instead of our pre-booked trains!!! Nothing you could have affected but it was hard luck for us. Our abiding memory will be the high tea we enjoyed at Betty's.

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.
