Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and I truly appreciate you letting us know.
I do wish you had spoken with your driver during the tour, as Barrie would have been more than happy to explain how our coach trips work. From speaking with to the Barrie, I understand that the group travelled widely across the Isle of Wight and even enjoyed two additional trips at no extra cost. Coastal towns can be particularly quiet during the winter months, as many attractions and shops close for the season, which can unfortunately limit things to do during free time.
We have used the hotel for many years and have not encountered any problems previously, so I’m especially sorry to learn that your stay did not meet the standard both you and we would expect. Your comments about service, food quality, room conditions, facilities, and staff interactions have been noted and will be passed directly to the hotel.
Regarding the touring schedule and the length of time spent in certain destinations, I’m sorry you felt this wasn’t communicated more clearly. While others on the trip shared very positive feedback and felt they had a lovely time, it’s clear your experience was different, and I regret that we did not meet your expectations in this respect.
I’m very pleased to hear your kind words about your driver, Barrie—he will be delighted to know he made such a positive impression.
Thank you again for your honesty. While I’m disappointed that this trip wasn’t right for you, your feedback helps us improve, and I hope we may have the opportunity to restore your confidence in the future.
Should you wish to discuss any of the above in more detail please feel free to call me on 01793 821030 opt 1.
Kind regards

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
I’m delighted to hear you thoroughly enjoyed the day and found the drivers very good.
Regarding the wait at Chieveley, we do understand how that can be frustrating. We do have early‑arrival procedures in place to minimise waiting times, but on this occasion the exceptionally good traffic conditions meant the coach arrived much earlier than expected, which added to the delay before the connecting vehicles arrived. Your comments are really helpful, and we’ll review this with our operations team to see how we can improve the connection for future excursions.
Thank you again for travelling with us — we hope to welcome you back soon.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. I’m really pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit to Kew Gardens.
I appreciate your comments regarding the end‑of‑day timings. During the winter months, the earlier closures of the restaurants and glasshouses can understandably leave a gap before the scheduled pick‑up. Our timings are set to accommodate the full advertised visit and to ensure the driver’s legal rest requirements are met, but your suggestion about adjusting the schedule for winter departures is very helpful. We’ll certainly review this when planning future trips.
Thank you also for raising the point about pick‑up locations. Holiday tours do operate from Greenbridge, but day trips follow a different routing pattern. That said, we’re always looking at ways to improve accessibility, and your request for a Stratton/Greenbridge pick‑up will be passed on to our operations team for consideration.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope to welcome you on another trip soon.
Really easy and the booking team are very helpful and friendly and will always offer to see if they can get what you need for example any single rooms left or checking pickup times
