Sun 8 6 295 Belgian Coast Explorer A holiday with a difference as Buzzlines offers you its normal door-to-door service but leaves you at your destination hotel for the duration of your stay, allowing you to choose your own dayto-day itinerary. For this series of short-breaks we choose hotel locations that are convenient to local tram and rail services so that you are spoilt for choice when it comes to what to do on the day – a great advantage in some ways since you can more easily flex your own plans according to how the weather behaves or your mood on the day, and with no worries about travel or baggage. Wendy and Chloe from our team recently inspected the hotel and were very impressed by the lovely large rooms.
