Our day trips were very well organised by Chris our driver who is a credit to your company, and the coach was very comfortable. The Anchorage hotel accommodation in Babbacombe was good although we felt that the hotel was a little bit remote from the coast unlike the Torbay Hotel [which was fully booked when we tried to book.] We really enjoyed our trip across Dartmoor to Princetown for our cream tea and the weather was excellent enabling us to enjoy the scenery and the lovely ponies!

The holiday was well organised the hotel was a bit old fashioned but clean the only problem for me was the restaurant was self service and as I have difficulty walking this was a bit inconvenient.
