Please remember that some amenities (e.g. hotel lifts, swimming pools, etc.) require servicing and cleaning and may not therefore be available at all times. Some services may be affected by weather conditions and their availability is entirely at the discretion of the provider of the service. Entertainment provided by hotels is frequently subject to demand and its nature and/or frequency may be varied if there is a lack of demand or insufficient numbers staying at the hotel.

Seat requests can be made on most holidays when booking. However, since allocations are made on a first come, first served basis, early booking is advisable for preferred seats. There is a seating plan of the coach for each holiday, but it is possible that, on occasions, for operational reasons, a coach of different configuration may be used and we must therefore reserve the right to amend a seating plan and allocate seats other than those you have booked.
