Spoiled due to one family booked by shearings whose autistic child made abusive level of noise on coach constantly because he was in deep distress due to his condition. Parents did nothing to calm him down or help him. He continued in dining room also. The food at evening meals, most of mains were very poorly cooked. Meals pre ordered were running out! Manager was very abrupt when asked for anything all other staff? Cleanliness and linen was good. Beds very comfortable, driver and assistant excellent considering the impossible situation he was trying to handle All coach party mainly pensioners, some poorly,some disabled , recently bereaved and generally needing a quiet journey and pleasant holiday were very very dissatisfied. I personally was sitting in the seat ( no. 5) directly in front of this young man he was shouting onstantly , kicking the back of my seat constantly and pulling stands of my hair out when I sat back in my seat ! I am Disabled and have a serious back problem following a major operation. It was very unpleasant and uncomfortable to travel 7 hours there and 9 hours back due to traffic jams because of the rail strike on the 2nd June. I have travelled with Shearings over 10 times pre covid even abroad and this was the worst journey I have ever made with them. Our driver Simon phoned into Shearings several times for help during the week and he got no useful help. Very poor practice I would imagine you have had other complaints about this tour. Mrs V Tabern

I have been on many holidays with Shearings but this one was the best, Hotel and Driver superb. I was given a room on the ground floor close to reception and entertainment I have been on many holidays with SHEARINGS and this was the best as regards accommodation and itinerary. Was given a room nearest to Reception which was also near to the Stairs for the Restaurant and Entertainment. All meals were fully served quickly, and entertainment consisted of Quizzes, Bingo and Singers every night. Both Hotel staff and Driver were excellent. On the way back the taxi driver dropped me off at home instead of Kingston on Thames at no extra cost, so ended a V Good holiday.
