GBTours’ ‘GET-TOGETHER’ as we take over the Durrant House hotel in Bideford, north Devon.
Meet old friends, make new ones, compare notes! There’s lots of fun, entertainment, good food and nice trips out - all wrapped up in the camaraderie of like-minded folk.
Full details:
Friday: We arrive at our hotel this afternoon to a welcome Cuppa! Then later, the first of 3 evenings kicks off with a complimentary glass of Fizz to get us in the mood.
Saturday: A morning visit to Barnstaple - the main town of north Devon, where we recommend you call into the town’s historic indoor Pannier Market – largely unchanged in 150 years.
Next, a scenic drive through the Devon landscape to National Trust property Knightshayes Court - a spectacular Gothic revival Victorian country house with acres of glorious gardens. Dinner and entertainment this evening.
Sunday: We snake through the west of Exmoor and stop at the twin coastal villages of Lynton and Lynmouth – connected by the world’s steepest water-powered railway; a ticket to ride is included.
This afternoon, we visit the world-famous Dartington Crystal where all that glass-blowing will keep you warm.
Return to our hotel for a jolly afternoon tea dance with cream tea. If you don’t fancy a foxtrot – just enjoy the Scones!
Although dancing is purely optional, our professional dance hosts will be on hand to provide an upbeat and entertaining tea dance, with Ballroom, Latin and Sequence/Party numbers to ensure a lively and enjoyable afternoon.
After a last dinner this evening there’s a bit of a knees’ up – a party atmosphere with fancy dress optional!
Go on – it’s the last night!
Monday: Sadly, another ‘get-together’ is over and we head for home after breakfast.
Note: Knightshayes Court can’t take 5 coaches on the same day, so some coaches will visit on Saturday and some on Sunday.
Price includes: 3 nights hotel D/B/B basis with excursions as shown, including entrance fees and cream tea. Single room supplement applies
