Famous for its long sandy beaches, level promenade and colourful pier, Paignton lies on England’s beautiful<br />
English Riviera on Devon’s southern coast. After the arrival of the railway this fishing village was transformed and<br />

Torbay with leisure facilities for the visitor. The town has some lovely public gardens and good shopping with an<br />
abundance of cafes and restaurants.<br />
With your free time you may like to visit the excellent Paignton Zoo on the outskirts of town or catch a bus along<br />
the coast road to the neighbouring towns of Torquay or Brixham. For those who like to explore, Paignton lies on<br />

Bletchley Park & IWM Duxford From £115<br />
Visiting two destinations which<br />
played such a huge part in our<br />
wartime history, this short break will<br />
appeal to those with a healthy<br />
interest in Britain’s history.<br />
In the past few years the story of the<br />
top secret code breaking facility at<br />
Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire<br />
has been thrust in to the public<br />
consciousness with a string of<br />
television dramas and a superb film<br />
starring Benedict Cumberbatch.<br />
IWM Duxford is home to an<br />
impressive collection of over two<br />
hundred aircraft as well as tanks,<br />
military vehicles and maritime craft.<br />
Explore the former RAF fighter<br />
station that was used during both<br />
the First and Second World Wars.<br />

We want you to be as happy as possible from the moment you select your<br />
holiday until you return home. Along with the hotels which we use, we try our<br />
very best to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. To help you to make<br />
the right selection and for what you can expect from us, please take a<br />
moment to read the following points.<br />
LUGGAGE<br />

suitcase size per person is 70 x 50 x 23cm. The<br />
maximum luggage weight per person is 20kg. A<br />

HOTELS<br />
We offer a range of hotel<br />
accommodation which have different<br />
levels of comfort, facilities and quality.<br />
When selecting your holiday please<br />
ensure that the quality will match your<br />
requirements. This is generally related<br />
to the cost of the holiday but if you have<br />
any specific requirements please talk to<br />
our staff who will be able to help.<br />
Some of our hotels have chosen not to<br />
be members of the RAC/AA and as<br />
such are not star rated. This is not<br />
necessarily an indication of a lower<br />
standard of accommodation.<br />
If you have special requirements please notify us as soon as possible. The<br />
hotel will be notified before your arrival but please remember that rooms are<br />
allocated by the hotels.<br />
Rooms for Single Occupancy are in high demand and very often are sold out.<br />
Some hotels charge a supplement for these rooms, the cost of which is<br />
indicated in this brochure.<br />
We try to indicate all the room and hotel facilities for each hotel within the<br />
information in this brochure but cannot accept liability for any alterations<br />
made by the hotel before our arrival. Sometimes amenities such as swimming<br />
pools and lifts may be out of service whilst entertainment may be curtailed,<br />
altered or cancelled due to hotel number.<br />
Hot drink making facilities are not normally available in Continental hotel<br />
bedrooms but are usually available at the bar/café.<br />
When travelling abroad, you should expect the food to be served in the<br />
national custom and therefore different to British cuisine. For some hotels,<br />
particularly overnight hotels the restaurant will serve a set menu. If, when you<br />
are at the hotel, you require an alternative this is normally available but may<br />
incur an additional cost for you.<br />
These days, many hotels are excellent at providing Special Diets. Please let<br />
us know as soon as possible so they can make preparations early.<br />
Many meals are taken as a group in the restaurants and usually involve<br />
sharing tables with 2 or more other diners in our group.<br />
HOLIDAY ITINERARIES AND SUITABILITY<br />
We pride ourselves on the planning of our holidays to provide an exciting and<br />
enjoyable holiday experience. Many are planned months in advance and may<br />
require adjustment to the itineraries due to changes at destinations or<br />
attractions.<br />
Our itineraries are displayed in the brochure and you should carefully<br />
consider suitability before booking your holiday. You are, of course, quite<br />
welcome not to join any particular excursion during your holiday.<br />
Provided we are informed before departure, we are happy to take manual<br />
walking aids and folding wheelchairs up to 15kg in weight. Unfortunately, we<br />
are not able to carry any electric wheelchairs or scooters, although these are<br />
often available to hire at the destination.<br />
HOLIDAY CANCELLATION<br />
If we have to cancel a holiday this is always done well in advance of your<br />
departure date and a full refund is given.<br />
Due to the contract obligations and financial commitments we have with<br />
hotels if you have to cancel your holiday you will have to pay cancellation<br />
charges. These are based on the following scale depending on how close to<br />
departure we receive your cancellation. More than 42 days - Deposit only, 42-<br />
28 days - 30%, 27-14 days - 45%, 13-7 days - 60%, Less than 7 days - 100%.<br />
However, if you do cancel more than 42 days before your departure date we<br />
will transfer your deposit less a £10 per person administration fee to another<br />
holiday currently available.<br />
We do advise you to take out travel insurance to cover any of your loses.<br />
LAST MINUTE BARGAINS<br />
If you want to receive last minute bargains, special<br />
offers, extra dates and more please join our<br />
