Enjoyed the contents of the holiday. Hotel needs a paint job, but clean and staff very nice.

I would have given 5 stars for quality, but this was a replacement holiday for one cancelled and so the trips were not 100% what I would have chosen, but they were good quality and certainly value for money. Overall the holiday was very good. I have travelled with Shearings before and am very satisfied with what they have to offer.

Excellent itinerary, and very good hotel, although the shower in our bathroom was fairly poor. Shearing's driver was superb.

Took to long to arrive at destination. Could have been organised better and reduced this journey by 3 hours each way. Staff at hotel all willing to help and enthusiastic, meals all ok and excursions all run to time
