The driver, Anthony.
The driver, Anthony, was very good. Informative, funny, considerate.
The hotel was good, though the food wasn't as good as previous Alfa holidays. This won't tho, put us off booking with Alfa again.
Some of the excursions, day in Norwich, especially, need reassessing.

The whole holiday from the time we got on the coach was lovely a smooth journey to our hotel a nice room with an easy walk in shower that works windows that open to keep the room aired with fresh air comfortable bed and excellent choice of food and friendly waiters and waitresses

Great holiday on the Isle of Man the…
Great holiday on the Isle of Man the hotel was nice and the food was great and plenty of it, we asked for a room with some kind of view but we were put out the back in a small room with white film over the bottom of the window so we couldn’t see out at all !! the manager said he would move us when he was able to but for the last night it didn’t seem worth it.
Neil our driver went above and beyond to help us all even on his day off when he told us about ticket you can get for the electric railway and horse drawn carriage and you could use this all day for the buses as well.Neil was a very good driver and took us to some really nice places
to see the Laxly wheel and the horse sanctuary which was lovely and he stopped at a shopping village as well
we would definitely like Neil as a driver again.
Keep up the good work Neil your a credit to Alfa
We enjoyed our holiday very much
We enjoyed our holiday very much. Arrangements were easy and we had a lovely drive to Torquay from our local pickup. The hotel and room was spacious and the staff were very friendly. Excellent food choice. Clean. Entertainment was mixed. The excursions were well received and organized. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely holiday
We had a 3rd party coach which was great as was the driver. We could have done with a bit more time at Longleat as I didnt get time to see all that I would have like to. Noahs Ark Zoo Farm would have been a nice stop for me in stead of Bristol. Staff were all lovely and food was good.
Good value for money.

We were kept informed.
The driver was friendly and professional and took everything in his stride.
Food and accommodation was good.
The balance was just right for us as we had a bit of free time to do our own thing on a couple of days.

Hotel nice ,lovely room with sea view.
Nice trips and free time to explore the resort.
West Sussex at its best
The trips out were exceptional; whilst staying at Bognor Regis in West Sussex we visited Worthing - my first time here and I was very impressed (in fact, it would be nice to actually have an Alfa holiday here); Arundel - a lovely touristy place; took a ride on the Watercress Line heritage railway which was most enjoyable AND visited Winchester. Rather a lot in a 5 day holiday.
The hotel was good and the food exceptional in taste, choice and quantity.
Didn't see much of the Lakes
I went on the Glorious Lake District trip from South Mimms. Feeder coach picked us up promptly, pleasant helpful driver and no issues. Didn't wait long to get going from South Mimms and head to the Lakes. One stop on the way for the driver Neil to fill up the coach and a quick coffee. We stayed at the Auckland Hotel in Morecambe. Quick to check in and we had clear instructions to find our room. We were on the 2nd floor, lovely room, very clean and well equipped. Food at The Auckland was incredible. Full English breakfast, toast, juice, cereals tea and coffee. As much or as little as you wanted. Evening meal was chosen in the morning. 4 choices of starter, main and dessert followed by tea or coffee. Every meal I had was delicious, well cooked, good portion sizes and always on a hot plate.
Staff at The Auckland worked incredibly hard and were all friendly, chatty and couldn't be faulted.
The actual coach part of the break was disappointing. Neil the driver was a retired Marines band man. Rightly proud but we never heard the end of it. He played depressing music, very loud which isn't to everyone's taste. Our daily trips into the Lakes to us on the dual carriageway or motorway rather than the scenic routes. I've been to Scotland with Alfa so know the drivers can take the pretty routes. We never saw the beauty of the lakes at all, just random town centres where we had a couple of hours. The last day when we went on a boat trip across Windermere and it was beautiful, but again just 2 hours and we were back at the hotel. Full days were only 10am-3pm. The people on the coach were a fantastic bunch and we certainly had a laugh, but if your looking for seeing the Lakes then this isn't the trip for you.
Found the driver to be miserable, unhelpful and with no sense of humour. All he wanted to talk about was himself and the marines, he repeatedly went over the same thing 3 times.
Has a fab trip, the hotel was 5*, people on the coach fab but not the break I was expecting.

As a single traveller I always enjoy the friendliness of staff and fellow travellers alike. Alfa are professional and from the coach drivers to the hotel staff the whole holiday experience is excellent 🙌
We were on an Alfa coach 5 day holiday…
We were on an Alfa coach 5 day holiday to the Isle of White 26th to 27th August. The hotel staff were excellent and the hotel itself very clean . The only problem was that our room was very dark due to being at the back and we had to have the light on mid afternoon. The room itself was very clean
We also thought that the trips we went on were not long enough as we only had 1 and a half hours each even though one trip was to Alum Bay which gave us no time to see much or go on the cable car .
Our driver seemed to be in a rush to get back to the hotel and was at times quite dangerous by getting too near cars in front and going faster than the limit at times .
He was a pleasant enough man apart from his driving .
We have been away we Alfa many times and have always been very pleased with everything
Our 4 night holiday at the Bayshore…
Our 4 night holiday at the Bayshore Hotel in Sandown was excellent. The food was very good and served professionally and friendly, the rest of the staff were also excellent. The hotel is situated on the seafront. The rooms have all the facilities that one would expect, but perhaps in need of a little updating. Sandown has a wonderful location and fine sandy beach but the town itself has been neglected with hotels standing empty.
Excellent from the first day boarding…
Excellent from the first day boarding the coach to the last day alighting the coach.
