HOTEL RATINGS

There are a confusing variety of organisations who grade hotels in the UK under a set of quality standards. Unfortunately, many hotels do not join the rating schemes, making it difficult to judge what the standard of the hotel may be.

At Just Go! we are all about transparency and honesty in what we offer on our holidays. We therefore grade the hotels featured in our brochures based on our own experience, knowledge of the hotel and, more importantly, feedback from Just Go! customers. The relevant rating is shown next to each hotel’s name or description in the brochure.

In the heart of the Irish sea, adventure awaits in a land steeped in Nordic and Celtic influence. An island off the northwest coast of England, where possibilities for discovery are as endless as the scenery is breathtaking, and the history is as ancient and rugged as its coastline. We make our base in the capital Douglas, the perfect location for our exploration of some of the best sights on the Isle of Man where we can delve into its rich past.

COACH ITINERARY

Day 1

From a morning pick up in your local area we catch the ferry from Heysham to Douglas, then onwards to our hotel.

Day 2 – House of Manannan Museum & Peel

Today we are set for a Viking adventure fit for a legendary sea god, as we head to Peel to visit the House of Manannan, a museum that explores the Island’s vibrant Celtic and Viking past. See various exhibitions and life-sized reconstructions of Viking ships, such as Odin’s Raven, a recreation of a Viking longboat in two-thirds scale and also a life-sized reconstruction of a Celtic house. Afterwards, we spend time in Peel, the island’s mini fishing port where we can explore this ‘rose red city’, well known for its red sandstone castle and buildings. On the way back to our hotel, we stop at famous landmark, Tynwald Hill, for a photo opportunity. The sight marks the Isle of Man’s independence with its distinctive four-tiered hill. The area is also famous for ancient Viking graves, and a temple dedicated to the Norse god Thor, found near the site of St. John’s Church.

Day 3 – Isle of Man Steam Railway & Castle Rushen

We take a trip on the iconic Isle of Man Steam Railway on the longest narrow gauge steam line in Britain. We journey to Port Erin and enjoy the stunning countryside views and scenery, all while sitting back and relaxing in the original carriages. We disembark at Port Erin for some free time to discover this picturesque seaside village.

Next, we continue our exploration of the island and head south to Castle Rushen in the historic capital of the Isle of Man, Castletown. Called ‘one of the best-preserved medieval castles in the world,’ the castle dominates Castletown. Originally built for a Norse king, the castle has been a fortress, royal residence, a prison and even execution grounds. Afterwards, we spend some time in Castletown where we can explore its grey limestone buildings and harbour before making our way back to the hotel.

Day 4 – Optional Excursion to Cregnesh, The Sound & Port St. Mary (£18pp)

For our optional excursion, we start the day with a visit to Cregnesh, a village on an upland plateau which overlooks the Calf of Man, a tiny Island off the southwest coast of the Isle of Man. Cregnesh was one of the last settlements of the Manx – their native culture has significant Norse, Gaelic, and English influences. Here we can explore the crofting way of life and step inside Manx cottages to see how the crafters lived. You might even catch a sight of a four-horned sheep and traditional farming practices in action.

Next, we make our way five miles south of Castletown to the Sound, at the island’s most southern tip. Here we alight for a photo opportunity of the Calf of Man before heading back to Port St Mary where we spend the rest of the day. Spend time watching the busy yacht harbour or taking in the views of the pretty, sandy beach.

Day 5 – Manx Electric Tram & Laxey Wheel

Today we discover the joys of the award-winning Manx electric railway with a charming trip along the east coast on the vintage line from Douglas to Ramsey. Prepare yourself for fantastic views at a steady speed and enjoy the excellent service and friendly staff on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Afterwards, we have time for lunch in Ramsey, the island’s second largest town in the north, whose name is derived from the Old Norse, hrams-á, meaning ‘wild garlic river,’ due to the settlements nearby where wild garlic grows in abundance. Don’t miss Ramsey’s beautiful harbour, still in daily use, and be certain to discover the busy shopping street in the main town.

Our last stop takes us to the impressive water-powered wheel – Laxey Wheel, also known as Lady Isabella. Did you know that you’ll also find the Laxey Wheel on the reverse side of £20 notes issued by the Isle of Man Government? Something to look out for!

Day 6

We catch the morning ferry back to Heysham and continue our journey home.

Mystical, captivating and beautiful, the Isle of Man is a unique place with a fascinating and diverse history. Located midway between Ireland and the British mainland in the Irish Sea, the island is self-governing, with its own surviving language and distinctive flag. It’s peppered with enchanting stone churches, castles and forts, tangled trees and twisty trails, adding to the magical atmosphere of this sea-bound land. The Isle of Man also boasts several impressive heritage railways, offering nostalgic journeys through dramatic Manx scenery, plus a traditional horse-drawn tramway along the seafront in Douglas. Step back in time as we experience the best of the Isle of Man’s sights and attractions during this relaxing week, uncovering the secrets of this extraordinary island and exploring its rich heritage.

Day 3

– Manx Electric Railway, Laxey Wheel & Snaefell Mountain Railway

We take a trip on the historic Manx Electric Railway, which still uses its original Victorian and Edwardian rolling stock. From Douglas, we journey along the scenic east coast with views of the beautiful Manx countryside on one side and far-reaching views out to the stunning coastline on the other. We disembark in Laxey to visit the Laxey Wheel, the largest working waterwheel in the world and known colloquially as the Lady Isabella. Admire this feat of Victorian engineering as we watch the mighty wheel turn, and can even climb to the top for panoramic vistas across Glen Mooar Valley.

From here we join the Snaefell Mountain Railway, the only electric mountain railway in the British Isles. Dating from 1895, electric-powered trains take passengers over 2,000ft up to the summit of Snaefell, the highest point of the Isle of Man. Here we enjoy spectacular views, and if it’s a clear day, can even catch a glimpse of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales!

Day 4 – Douglas Bay Horse Tramway Ramsey & Peel

This morning we step back in time and enjoy a ride on the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway along Douglas Promenade. The horse trams have been in existence since 1876 on the Isle of Man and have carried plenty of royal visitors, including Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

Next stop is Peel, a charming fishing port with a history spanning hundreds of years. Located on the west coast, Peel is renowned for its narrow lanes crammed with fishermen’s cottages, the striking red sandstone used to build its castle and the views of the Mountains of Mourne. Day 5 – Day at leisure in Douglas Day 6 – Castletown, Port Erin, Cregneash & Isle of Man Steam Railway

After some free time in Castletown, the original capital of the island, we journey to Port Erin, a peaceful town with pretty gardens and a sandy beach that was first favoured by Victorian holidaymakers. Next is a brief photo stop at The Sound at the island’s southern tip, a hotspot for local wildlife, from sunbathing seals on the rocks to basking sharks and dolphins in the blue waters below. Continuing with more Isle of Man highlights, we discover the fascinating living museum of Cregneash Folk Village, where residents continue to use horsepower and speak the old local dialect. These locals play an important part in keeping the past alive, as village life continues as it has for hundreds of years.

We end the day with a scenic trip from Port St Mary, a beautiful small harbour, back to Douglas on the well-preserved, narrow-gauge Isle of Man Steam Railway. As the island’s oldest Victorian rail system, this journey offers a mesmerising glimpse into the golden age of steam in restored vintage carriages, travelling through glorious countryside, sparkling shorelines, past quaint towns and charming fishing ports.

Every summer, the enchanting Channel Island of Jersey stages a fabulous floral extravaganza, the Battle of Flowers.

Battle of Flowers Parade (full day)

First staged in 1902 in celebration of the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, Jersey’s Battle of Flowers is one of the largest floral carnivals in Europe and the island’s oldest event.

With its unique Anglo-French cultural blend, the enchanting island of Jersey offers a taste of the Continent but closer to home. Historically attractive to invading armies because of its strategic position between England and France, Jersey has been fought over many times throughout history.

We sit back, relax and soak up the stunning views of lush green countryside, golden sands, rolling waves and striking cliffs before we disembark in Derry~Londonderry.

Day 1

We catch the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin where our tour manager joins us. We continue onwards to the Bloomfield House Hotel in Mullingar for our overnight stay.

Day 2 – Guided city tour of Galway & Castlebar

Leaving our hotel, we head across to Galway, a thriving, cosmopolitan city with the added bonus of a seaside setting. We enjoy a guided city tour with our tour manager, followed by free time to explore the city, which was named as the European Capital of Culture for 2020! Later we continue to Castlebar where we check in to our hotel for the next three nights.

Day 3 – Kylemore Abbey and Victorian Walled Garden & Connemara National Park

We start the day at Kylemore Abbey and Victorian Walled Garden. We visit the restored rooms of the beautiful Gothic Abbey, home to a monastic community of nuns since 1920, and explore the six-acre Victorian Walled Garden where only flower and vegetable varieties from that era are grown. This was one of the last walled gardens built in Ireland during the Victorian period, and its magnificence at the time was compared to London’s Kew Gardens.

Finally we explore the scenic mountains, bogs, heaths, grasslands and woodlands that make up the Connemara National Park. Covering around 3,000 hectares of scenic countryside, the park is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna including the famous Connemara ponies.

Optional locally guided city tour of Dublin (£14pp)

Day 4 – Westport & Achill Island

After spending some free time in the picturesque town of Westport, we enjoy a scenic drive around Achill Island, the largest of Ireland’s offshore islands.

First inhabited 5,000 years ago, the island is peppered with ancient forts, historic churches and megalithic tombs.

Day 5 – Dublin (with optional guided tour £14pp)

Checking out of our hotel, we travel to Dublin where we spend an afternoon at leisure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to pay a single supplement?

It is standard practice in the hotel trade to charge for single occupancy of a room as the cost of providing heating, lighting and cleaning etc, is the same regardless of the number of people occupying it.

Will my pickup point change?

All available pickup points are shown for each tour. Please note however, that pickup points are dependent on Just Go! Holidays receiving minimum bookings from those locations. On occasions it may be necessary to move your requested pickup point after booking to ensure that your holiday can still operate. You will be notified of any change to your pickup with your final confirmation.

What time will my pickup be?

We will inform you of the exact pickup time from your town approximately one to two weeks before departure. As a general rule on UK holidays we depart early morning and arrive home late afternoon/early evening although some exceptions may apply.

Can I take my car?

Yes, on certain UK mainland tours. We will give you a discount of £25 per person and a seat will still be reserved for you on the coach for the excursions. Please note that the £25pp make your own way discount has been applied to the prices for dates where no coach pickup is available in your region.

Who is responsible for my luggage during my journey?

It is your responsibility to ensure your suitcase is on board the coach. Please make sure you see the driver place your luggage into the coach and, on the way home, carefully check you collect the correct luggage from the driver at your drop off point. We cannot accept responsibility for damaged or misplaced luggage or any personal items and, whilst we will assist you with the recovery of any lost suitcase, this will be upon receipt of the courier costs.

How much luggage can I take with me?

For holidays by coach, your luggage must be restricted to one medium-sized suitcase weighing no more than 18 kilograms (40 pounds); we cannot carry any additional luggage items. Also, we cannot accept responsibility at any time for your own personal hand luggage. For any holidays by air, the luggage allowance will vary between airlines and will be advised at the time of booking.

I have mobility issues – can I bring a walking aid?

You must advise us if anyone in your party has mobility issues – the minimum requirements are that you are able to climb the steps onto a coach unaided. Please read the tour itinerary carefully to make sure it is appropriate for your mobility level. Due to space limitations we can only accommodate a maximum of two walking aids on to each coach, either wheelchairs or walking frames so long as they are collapsible, therefore you must pre-book a space when you book your holiday and confirmation of this will be on our correspondence to you. Unfortunately we have to reserve the right not to carry any walking aids that are not pre-booked. We regret we cannot accept mobility scooters or motorised wheelchairs.

What do I do if I have special dietary needs?

Passengers are requested to inform us of any food allergies/requests at the time of booking and we will attempt to accommodate them, however special arrangements cannot be guaranteed. Passengers who are coeliac or follow a gluten-free diet are advised to contact the hotel before arrival to check if the diet is catered for. Some customers take their own bread for breakfasts.

Customers with severe food allergies or dietary requirements are advised to make appropriate arrangements with the hotel prior to commencing their tour and speak to the hotel staff on arrival.

Why do I need insurance?

At Just Go! Holidays we are committed to ensuring you are taken care of every step of the way, from the day you book, through to the last day of your holiday. Occasionally passengers fall ill or have an accident whilst on holiday preventing them from travelling home with the coach or on the return flight or requiring medical care when on tour in the UK, Channel Islands or Ireland. This may impact you financially.

When do I need to pay the balance of my holiday?

The balance due dates (the period before the departure date on which your full balance normally becomes due) are: 8 weeks before departure for all UK mainland holidays, Events and Themed breaks by coach or 10 weeks before departure for all Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by coach. For UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by air, the balance is due with us no later than 10 weeks prior to travel. For bookings made after the balance due date; full payment is due at the time of booking. You can also make interim payments anytime between paying the deposit and the balance due date.

Railway excursions

Please note that journeys on certain railways may not always be steam hauled, even when pictured in this brochure as being so. Diesel locomotive trains are sometimes in use on certain journeys over which, regrettably, we have no control.

What do I do if I have a special request?

If you have any special requests, we will do our best to help but we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled, they are just a request. If your request is imperative to the enjoyment of your holiday, please inform one of the members of our reservations staff at the time of booking however, we cannot accept a booking on the basis of a request being guaranteed. General confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to our supplier is not confirmation that your request will be met. All special requests are subject to availability unless and until they are specifically confirmed by us in writing.

Will there be a toilet on the coach?

Yes, all the holidays featured in our main 2023 brochure will be operated by a modern executive standard coach including a wc onboard. Regular comfort breaks will also be taken.

Will it always be the tour coach that collects me from my chosen pickup point?

Not always, sometimes we utilise smaller transfer vehicles to operate some pickups; these vehicles will transfer you to join the main tour coach. We do this in order to offer a wide range of pickup points and to keep overall journey times for the tour coach to a minimum. Please note: if you have booked front seats or any other guaranteed seats through our seat reservation service, these only apply once you join the main tour coach.

Are the excursions guaranteed to run on the day specified in this brochure?

Our brochures and itineraries are put together sometimes over a year in advance therefore, unfortunately, things may change before the tour takes place and some excursions may be swapped from one day to another.

Do I need a passport?

All our Ireland and Channel Islands holidays are sold on the basis that you are a British Passport holder. It is your responsibility to ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of the tour return. On holidays by air within the UK you will also need a form of photo identification. You need to advise us if you are not travelling on a British passport for port security checks. In addition, any visa requirements are your responsibility.

What do I do if I’m not completely happy?

It is imperative that if you are unhappy about any aspect of your holiday, you raise the matter IMMEDIATELY with the coach driver, tour manager or accommodation provider. If you fail to do this and deny us the opportunity to rectify the matter at the time, we shall not accept any responsibility retrospectively. If the matter cannot be resolved immediately, it is a condition that you write to us, quoting your booking reference, with the details of your complaint so that we may commence an investigation.
