Holidays in England

City breaks, country retreats and coastal resorts – England has it all

Whether you fancy an overnight stay in a university city, want to visit a pretty market town for some new shopping experiences or long for a couple of relaxing days in the peaceful countryside strolling round stately homes, England is the place to look.

We’re bound to have somewhere you want to go. Choose from a wide variety of destinations – the popular seaside resorts on the South coast, the historic North East, the vibrant capital city of London, the ultra-scenic Lake District, beautiful Bath, wonderful Windsor, lively Liverpool… the list may not be endless but it’s pretty long…

Our regular customers compliment us on our value for money, our helpful booking staff, friendly drivers and carefully-planned itineraries. For the majority of trips we use three and four star hotels, and all of our coaches are executive models, meaning you’re ensured a comfortable journey. And of course – unlike some other coach companies – we never use feeder coaches, meaning you get on the coach at your local pick-up point and stay on it, in the same seat, throughout your holiday. What’s not to like?

Great Houses and Gardens of Yorkshire (U)

The Crown Hotel was perfectly situated in Harrogate. Lovely Valley Gardens a 5 minute walk away - beautiful. Hotel staff were friendly, helpful and food was delicious. Excursion on the steam train from Emblay to Bolton Abbey was very good, only one complaint, not enough time to go and explore the Abbey Ruins. We also visited Markenfield Hall, absolutely fantastic. It’s true what they say “THE LOVELIST PLACE YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF.” The guide was excellent, she brought the house to life with the history of the building plus the families who lived there, past and present. We felt the trip to RHS Harlow Carr was too long, but it may have been the weather, it was a very hot day, we were trying to find shady walks. Harewood House and Gardens were stunning. We could have done with longer there. By the time we had done the tour of the house, it was time to meet up with the Gardner (who was excellent), for a tour of the gardens and grounds. We ran out of time for him to show us everything in the grounds. So we didn’t have time to visit specific areas on our own either. On the whole a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. This is our first Stately Homes and Gardens holiday, we enjoyed so much we have now booked for Stately Homes and Gardens in Cheshire for 2026. Ps we must also add we have done and have booked more of the Warner Hotel Breaks, which are our favourites.

Great Houses and Gardens of Yorkshire (D)

We had a great journey up to the above gardens of Yorkshire with an excellent driver who was very informative each day of our 5 day trips. We were a little disappointed that our request for a walk in shower (which was confirmed from Head Office) was not available. The reception staff were not aware of this request and said the room with a walk in shower was not available until the following day. We therefore didn't unpack until the following day when we moved to the room with the walk in shower. Suggestions:- Harlow Carr is one of the great RHS gardens and we felt (along with other coach goers) that 3 hours was not long enough. Harewood House, another wonderful place to visit could have been extended a little as the talk/tour with the gardener had to be cut short due to lack of time. Thank you for showing us some beautiful places.

Treasures of Northumberland (U+C)

This was the first coach holiday for my husband and me. Everything in the control of GB Tours was excellent, from the skills of our driver (Richard) to our accommodation at The Little Haven Hotel and the daily trips, where a special mention goes to the blue badge guide, Jan, who accompanied us on our trip to Hadrian’s wall. Unfortunately there was a down-side. Though not in the control of GB tours, the evening meals at the hotel were a disappointment. The service was slow (on one evening, particularly so), the food was sometimes lukewarm and was often unappetising. This was a great shame. Our room was comfortable and the youthful staff were charming. The hotel was let-down by the kitchen. Nevertheless, we look forward to our next holiday with GB Tours.
