Lovely seafront hotel in centre of Sidmouth, excellent trips, comfortable coach with friendly and helpful driver.
Only negative, the quality and quantity of evening meal food.

All our holidays with Palmers have been lovely,
the drivers are very friendly helpful and professional.
The sales staff are friendly, knowledgeable.
We hope to spend more happy holidays with Palmers.

An excellent stay in Stourport on Severn with a very interesting itinerary of places visited
Also a very good helpful coach driver and some good company on the trip
The only minor complaint I have that there was a mix up over the pick up times for Wakefield

The driver Grant was excellent and went out of his way to see that we were informed of places of interest during our journeys.
The hotel was clean and comfortable and the menu and choices were prepared and served most efficiently.

Grant the driver was just wonderful he couldn’t do enough’Hotel was also a great experience

Paperwork and tickets came in plenty of time. Hotel was excellent staff couldn't have been more helpful and the food was exceptionslly good. We will book with Palmers again.

Pleasant hotel, in a good location. Home cooked food with a long list on the evening meal menus to choose from. Weather was warm and sunny with a moderate breeze apart from on the pier as it was very windy. Just watch out for the Herring Gull mobs!

Good hotel fab food staff very friendly and helpful nice being able to order a newspaper weather was great and a very good coach driver

A great coach driver.
The coach was basic. Not too comfortable and no wi fi. Will probably not travel with Palmers again. We feel short changed after travelling on Palmer’s own coaches.

A first class experience on our first ever coach holiday. From being picked up from home (a bonus in itself), a very comfortable coach with Grant, a most informative, friendly and capable driver, an excellent hotel, wonderful tours, to a pleasant journey home. All in all a fantastic coach trip.

Driver and guide very helpful
Coach very comfortable
All visits were very interesting and informative
Staff at hotel friendly and efficient

We always enjoy Palmer holidays the spacious coaches are great (Red Rose) this trip and brilliant & safe drivers.Kingussie hotel was good - great food ,and spacious room ,checked everything each day . Friendly helpful staff. Tour trips were excellent, looking forward to our next holiday in September

Excellent coach, friendly driver, Ness boat trip well organised as rail journey
Negative: three hours in . Aviemore far too long for such a small place and on a Sunday so shops closed only one pub at the end of the village which was so down market.it was awful. Totally boring . The hotel room I got the upgrade but up a very steep narrow staircase full handrail on one side but half rail on other.so far the last steps it was necessary to use both hands on the one full rail and try to avoid losing balance. Other older guests had the same problem when allocated this side of the hotel
Others got the newer wing which had a lift
Menus fine but not a patch on the Royal in Sidmouth .not enough bar staff in on so long queues normally just one bar person

Home pickups on time before & after holiday. Great driver. Good itinerary & hotel.

Excellent holiday door to door.
Home pick up on time, coach driver very good and attentative to any queries.
Excellent hotel at location and trips very good.
Small negative: the seats by the coach emergency exit do not have a view out of window, and the leg room is limited which spoilt our long journey to location, and reduced our sight seeing experience on the coach. Maybe these seats should be highlighted as limited view and legroom for future bookings.

The driver, the hotel, trips, and the fantastic scenery put together made it for us.

Excellent driver, holiday was excellent, as was the trips. The location of the hotel was excellent. The choice of trips was good. The coach was clean tidy, and a safe pleasant journey was had.

Knowledgeable hostess on this particular trip.
Safe and comfortable coach, excellent driver, giving clear and precise information.
Well planned tour with good access for anyone with disabilities
Hotel and staff excellent unfortunately menu was rather repetitive and plates were cold.

I object to your changing daily programme when there was no proper reason, such as pouring rain or accident
I went on this holiday particularly to see Hever Castle and Gardens which were magnificent, and we left at2.30 and went to some village miles away which had nothing special to commend it.
Apart from this the holiday was very good
I should add that we went on this holiday because our first choice to Torquay was cancelled. I had wanted to go to Devon again to see members of my family there and it is difficult for me to visit them

I enjoyed the excursions, especially Hever Castle, as it was somewhere I have always wanted to see. The home pickup and drop offs were very convenient and the coach travel was comfortable and easy.
I did not like the location of the hotel, it was well out of town, with nowhere to walk to. The food was mediocre and I prefer table service to self serve. But it was a pleasant holiday.
