Tiring journey from Cornwall, but well worth the wait. Enjoyed exploring Bruges,Ghent and Ostende, with a lovely bonus trip to the Menen Gate. Also enjoyed the Ascension Day parade, another welcome, surprise bonus! Hotel was excellent on all fronts. Would definitely recommend this holiday.

The holiday was great but .. travelling from and back to Norfolk was not made easy for the elderly because of the coach changes. The pressure on the people directing coaches at 24 meant that they or the ones I came across did not have time to direct in a sociable manner. The lady on the desk inside 24 was extremely helpful to me. I wud travel with your company again as I now understand the rules.

Booked on line after ringing for some more info. Call centre helpful and pleasant. Website booking form a bit awkward at accepting telephone numbers.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.

I couldn't work it at all. The code wasn't accepted and it felt like I was going around in circles . The best feature was we'll call you back..
