I enjoyed the excursions, especially Hever Castle, as it was somewhere I have always wanted to see. The home pickup and drop offs were very convenient and the coach travel was comfortable and easy.
I did not like the location of the hotel, it was well out of town, with nowhere to walk to. The food was mediocre and I prefer table service to self serve. But it was a pleasant holiday.

Our first holiday with Palmers and taken on recommendation of friends.The holiday was perfect in every way. The collection and drop off at home was a big plus for us.Our driver, Peter, was very good and nothing was a problem for him. The daily trips were enjoyable and varied.
The accommodation was very good . The holiday offered good value for money and we are looking forward to booking our next break with Palmers.

Recently returned from the NC500 coach tour , without a doubt the best coach trip I have ever done! My personal faves were the Isle of Skye and Ullapool, with John O'Groats being the very best!
Our coach driver Grant was really knowledgeable and very considerate, although comfort stops were few & far between as it was 'out of season', he did manage to find some! His Geordie accent puzzled us sometimes, 'no porridge ' was the best one (no porterage) great fun!

Great hotel, excellent excursions. Very good driver.

Door pick up, comfortable coach, the driver Grant was brilliant, friendly, really cared that we had a good time, checked we were ok with everything throughout the holiday, considerate to all abilities, went out of his way to ensure we saw the best places in fact he made the holiday more enjoyable. Hotels were ok apart from the last one the Angus Hotel Brairgowrie, all travellers were disappointed with this hotel and if it hadn’t been for this hotel I would have given 5 stars. Hope Palmers listen to our feed back and don’t use that hotel again. Would definitely book other tours with Palmers having travelled with other company’s including a large leading tour company the recent Palmers tours I have done recently were far better and would be my first choice on the basis of the drivers who were friendly and professional, comfort of the coach, value for money and itenerary.

Just back from the 3 star Riviera Hotel , Bournemouth. Nice clean hotel, food excellent, staff very professional and helpful.
Good trips out.Fellow travellers great, and Grant our driver
lovely and informative as usual .
Good weather a bonus .Excellent value .

The coach journey during the whole trip was very comfortable and timing for rest breaks was well planned. The hotel was first class and we were very well catered for by all the staff.
However the tour of the New Forest and the trip to the Isle of White could have been more enhanced by the driver have more Knowledge of the itinerary so that more information could have been given on places of interest.

Hotel brilliant/ food and service excellent. Coach driver very personable. Weather was kind and Belfast trip was brilliant.

The hotel albeit old afforded first class food and accommodation. The trips out were well worth the visit but a longer time in Belfast wouldn't go amiss. The tour of the city was informative but if shorter free time to explore the city would be better.o

Room comfortable and immaculate. Excellent food and entertainment. Friendly staff. Plenty of options for activities and lovely surroundings for walking.

Booked once again with Palmers, very well organised..door to door so no worries re baggage etc. coach was great so no driving, hotel was lovely, a little dated but very clean and well looked after. Food was excellent, lots of options..great trips to see a little of attractions..Portmerion was amazing..well done Palmers

Our recent trip to Cornwall could not be faulted. From start to finish everything rang smoothly and was most enjoyable. Looking forward to our next holiday with Palmers.

Coach driver works for another company called Stanley Travel. Very quiet guy, hardly spoke a word except for essential information, not at all friendly like other drivers. Also we were made to eat the last of all coach parties at Alvaston Hall, (7.15pm) when restaurant staff were starting to clear away. Alvaston hire young people in cramped restaurant, maybe students? Had to wait 30 minutes for my drink to arrive on the first evening.

Loved the hotel, with great staff, loved the locations we visited. It was the best time of year as St Ives was busy but not over crowded. We both thought that Helagon and pancarrow house needed more time and may be better for morning visits. Our driver Grant was brilliant.

The Cream of Cornwall
The holiday overall was great. Hotel Fistral beach and spa was very good. Fantastic views of the beach and sea. Hotel room was good, staff were really helpful and good selection at meals time. Grant our driver was very helpful and an excellent driver. With regards to the iternary- a suggestion would be more time in The
Lost Gardens of Heligan and less time in Truro. Maybe change the gardens to the morning. The same goes for Pencarrow Mansion. We had no time to see the gardens. But saying that the holiday was very good. Cornwall is a lovely place and we couldn't have asked for better weather. Sunny everyday, which for September/October was excellent.

No issues, comfortable coach, competent driver, good hotel, good entertainment, good food and the hotel paid attention to our accommodation request.

Our coach driver was great Hotel lovely but the home pick up was too soon as at that time of day5am. traffic is light and we arrived at Washington services by 5.20 for a 5.45 pick up. The driver wanted to drop us at the coach area next to the fuel area. On return the taxi driver was surly and the taxi was too small for 4 passengers and luggage.

Excellent driver, comfortable hotel in a good position, good food and well-organised trips to local landmarks.

Well organised from the start. We were picked up by taxi from home & transported to the local pick up point. We hardly handled our luggage at all for the whole trip. The coach driver was most helpful. The hotel was great, located with direct access to the beach. Friendly hotel staff. Would highly recommend.

Coach & hotel were great.
Food wasn’t always warm & we were waiting for a long time to get served.
