Very easy to book and information about the trip was comprehensive. The hotel rooms were basic but clean and functional. There was a good variety of food and it was of a high standard. Restaurant staff were lovely. Our tour driver Jeff, was amazing. Extremely friendly, provided lots of useful information about the tours, schedules and hotel timings. Had a great sense of humour and is an asset to Shearings! Visiting North Yorkshire was a great trip, made even better by Jeff. Hope he's our tour driver on our next trip.

The holiday and hotel were very good.My main complaint was the standard of food provided by the hotel. We were a table of 6 people and on at least 3 occasions we were unable to eat what was presented. In particular the Lasagne and Pasta dishes were so dried up we could not cut them with a knife and fork and the way it was put on the plates reminded me of school dinners. My second complaint was regards the driver, Jonathan his name was and he drove a Blands coach. He was very arrogant to the point where at times he completley ignored us. This was the first time that i did not give a tip as i didt think he deserved it.
