Find your next holiday
Bournemouth’s glorious 7-mile sandy beach has long been a draw for holidaymakers, from Victorian times to today. Not just a traditional seaside resort, Bournemouth is a city so has a huge range of shops, entertainment, and amenities. It makes for the perfect base from which to explore historic Salisbury and pretty Swanage.
Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the Sands Hotel, Bournemouth for four nights.
Visit the beautiful city of Salisbury. Home to an abundance of historic buildings, be sure to take in the majestic cathedral, which boasts Britain’s tallest spire standing at a breathtaking 123 metres.
The city retains much of its medieval centre, with a delightful market square and traditional shopping streets that are easy to explore on foot.
Explore Bournemouth at your own pace with a day at leisure, perfect for exploring the attractions in this seaside town.
Perhaps you’d rather join our optional excursion to Portsmouth, a city with over 500 years of maritime history. This great waterfront city is packed with world-class attractions and fantastic things to do, from the host of attractions in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard (entrance not included) to the modern Spinnaker Tower (entrance not included) that soars above the city.
The optional excursions will be available to book during your tour.
Prices are per person and are subject to change. Payment will be in sterling (cash payments only).
Today we will visit the Isle of Purbeck, passing through quaint Corfe Castle to reach seaside Swanage.
Here there’s a lovely, sandy beach and lots of attractions, such as the Swanage Museum which tells the story of the area from the Jurassic period to WWII. Up to the early 19th century, Swanage was a small fishing port, however the arrival of the railway meant it developed as a seaside resort and it retains much of its Victorian elegance today.

Holiday was fine but the accommodation was very disappointing. I have stayed at the Sands Hotel Bournemouth before. At that time the food was great and the room a little tired looking. Now the food is mediocre and the room was miserable. I would certainly travel with Shearings again, but never again at the Sands Hotel.

Travel, drivers and excursions were excellent. Hotel entertainment and staff were good. Bit hotel was shabby, no safety bars in shower, loose towel bar in bathroom and socket in bedroom. Food was dreadful, no tiered servings. Everyone crammed in at the same time. We went out to dinner after the first night.
