We are delighted to have secured space at the excellent 3* Hannafore Point Hotel for Christmas. The hotel has a full Christmas programme with entertainment, music, games and plenty of festive food!
Staying in the very heart of Cornish life in the historic fishing port of Looe on Cornwall’s amazing south coast. There should be a lovely festive atmosphere around this charismatic town where you can ‘feel’ the history. There’s a bustling harbour where you can watch the catch being ‘brought-in’ by the fishing boats and pleasure boats potter along the river. It’s a great place to explore - stroll through the labyrinth of narrow streets lined with cafes, antique shops and pick up a tasty pasty or bag of chips to enjoy on the beach. A wonderful destination for a Christmas away.

SMOKING & ALCOHOL POLICY We operate a no smoking (including e-cigarettes) and no alcohol on board policy. We do have regular comfort stops.
HOTELS We offer a range of hotel accommodation which have different levels of comfort, facilities and quality. When selecting your holiday please ensure that the quality will match your requirements. This is generally related to the cost of the holiday but if you have any specific requirements please talk to our staff who will be able to help. Some of our hotels have chosen not to be members of the RAC/AA and as such are not star rated. This is not necessarily an indication of a lower standard of accommodation. If you have special requirements please notify us as soon as possible. The hotel will be notified before your arrival but please remember that rooms are allocated by the hotels. Rooms for Single Occupancy are in high demand and very often are sold out. Some hotels charge a supplement for these rooms, the cost of which is indicated in this brochure. We try to indicate all the room and hotel facilities for each hotel within the information in this brochure but cannot accept liability for any alterations made by the hotel before our arrival. Sometimes amenities such as swimming pools and lifts may be out of service whilst entertainment may be curtailed, altered or cancelled due to hotel number. Hot drink making facilities are not normally available in Continental hotel bedrooms but are usually available at the bar/café. When travelling abroad, you should expect the food to be served in the national custom and therefore different to British cuisine. For some hotels, particularly overnight hotels the restaurant will serve a set menu. If, when you are at the hotel, you require an alternative this is normally available but may incur an additional cost for you. These days, many hotels are excellent at providing Special Diets. Please let us know as soon as possible so they can make preparations early. Many meals are taken as a group in the restaurants and usually involve sharing tables with 2 or more other diners in our group. HOLIDAY ITINERARIES AND SUITABILITY We pride ourselves on the planning of our holidays to provide an exciting and enjoyable holiday experience. Many are planned months in advance and may require adjustment to the itineraries due to changes at destinations or attractions. Our itineraries are displayed in the brochure and you should carefully consider suitability before booking your holiday. You are, of course, quite welcome not to join any particular excursion during your holiday. Provided we are informed before departure, we are happy to take manual walking aids and folding wheelchairs up to 15kg in weight. Unfortunately, we are not able to carry any electric wheelchairs or scooters, although these are often available to hire at the destination. HOLIDAY CANCELLATION If we have to cancel a holiday this is always done well in advance of your departure date and a full refund is given. Due to the contract obligations and financial commitments we have with hotels if you have to cancel your holiday you will have to pay cancellation charges. These are based on the following scale depending on how close to departure we receive your cancellation. More than 42 days – Deposit only 42-28 days – 30% 27-14 days – 45% 13-7 days – 60% Less than 7 days – 100% However, if you do cancel more than 42 days before your departure date we will transfer your deposit less a £10 per person administration fee to another holiday currently available. We do advise you to take out travel insurance to cover any of your loses.
