Join us at this special time of the year for a lovely Christmas<br />
in York.<br />
Few cities rival the historic splendour of York with Christmas Time a<br />
particular highlight on the calendar. Steeped in history spanning 2000<br />
years, York is a compact walled riverside city home to world-class<br />
attractions. We stay within the medieval city walls allowing you time<br />
to explore the historic centre, with its lovely waterfront and cobbled<br />
streets. The city’s medieval centre adds an authenticity to the Christmas<br />
celebrations so come along and soak up the atmosphere. York is foody<br />
heaven, and a great place to go out and relax in one of the coffee<br />
shops or traditional taverns. The hotel offers a slightly more laid back<br />
Christmas Break including some live entertainment in the evenings but<br />
there is plenty more on offer on the<br />
doorstep if you wish to explore.<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 made<br />
by the hotel before our arrival. Sometimes amenities such as swimming pools<br />
and lifts may be out of service whilst entertainment may be curtailed, altered or<br />
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 national<br />
custom and therefore different to British cuisine. For some hotels, particularly<br />
overnight hotels the restaurant will serve a set menu. If, when you are at the<br />
hotel, you require an alternative this is normally available but may incur an<br />
additional cost for you.<br />
These days, many hotels are excellent at providing Special Diets. Please let us<br />
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 sharing<br />
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<br />
and enjoyable holiday experience. Many are planned months in advance and<br />
may 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 consider<br />
suitability before booking your holiday. You are, of course, quite welcome not<br />
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 are<br />
not able to carry any electric wheelchairs or scooters, although these are often<br />
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 hotels<br />
if you have to cancel your holiday you will have to pay cancellation charges.<br />
These are based on the following scale depending on how close to departure<br />
we receive your cancellation.<br />
More than 42 days – Deposit only<br />
42-28 days – 30%<br />
27-14 days – 45%<br />
13-7 days – 60%<br />
Less than 7 days – 100%<br />
However, if you do cancel more than 42 days before your departure date we will<br />
transfer your deposit less a £10 per person administration fee to another holiday<br />
currently available.<br />
We do advise you to take out travel insurance to cover any of your loses.<br />
