Review about: Shearings Coach Holidays
Isle of Bute and Glasgow
We traveled to the Isle of Bute via Normanton,Scotch corner and Gretna Green, was a very long journey with all the pick ups but eventually arrived at the hotel. The hotel is very dated, our room was dingy with a window that looked onto bins and a works van was parked right outside our window, as it was very hot we had no choice but to have window open. We did the Island tour but unfortunately it was just a drive to a pub and a chance to book next trips. We went on the trip to Glasgow which was fine going but on the return journey the coach air conditioning had packed in, we wer’nt prepared for this and the coach was going up to 38c inside myself and other passengers were struggling in the heat I was definitely dehydrated and close to fainting,my husband had to fan me to try and get my temperature down.we all needed water and was not offered any or even to stop to get some ourselves. I was dreading the next day journey home, fortunately it did get mended but it was again a long journey with all the drop offs.
Just to say i have been in the uk with shearings and in Europe the journeys are sometimes very long i can remember doing the coach holiday to czech republic and budapest 10 day holiday it was over 12 hours on the coach with a couple of stops the overall hoilday was very long journey 4 day coach journey 12 hours 4 days travelling staying overnight in Germany i can understand where you come from. Ive been to lake como to and it was lovely the journey wasnt so bad it was long but not as long as going to Budapest by coach. I wouldnt do that hoilday again to long on the coach and the drivers wasnt as pleasent or friendly. But please dont be put of doing coach holidays with shearings ive been on one last year to Durham and Newcastle it was outstanding nothing was to much trouble and it was less then a 4 hour journey from normaton to Rushyford outside Durham the driver Raymond was just absoultely amazing and couldnt do enough for you he made us all laugh and made the journey really great one. I am hoping to do the Newcastle and Durham holiday again next year its on my bucket list.
