    Isle of Wight

    Accepted my trip was October and my bubble decided to go as well. It was cleared and our bookings were linked. Three times we were separate due to our bookings being different references. The link was on my friends booking but not noted on mine.
    I booked for Christmas in July and had a seat behind the driver. Whilst on my holiday I received a call from the office saying they had problems contacting me. I wasn't surprised when they had left messages on the home phone. I was informed that I was now transferred to Shanklin. That was where I booked!! I was also being moved to seat 23. Due to my personal injury I never travel on the offside of the coach. I spoke to the manager of the hotel who informed me that I had been moved for special needs. Fair enough but he managed to get me offside seat 42. Almost the back of the bus and me with a crutch stick. Christmas is now cancelled so I'm waiting for the phone call for my money to be transferred to February, May, July or a new booking for September.
    Just slightly disillusioned and disappointed with the hassle since the start of the Covid-19 outbreak, but not with the company generally, nor the hotel staff, food, drivers and coaches.

    5 Day 'Turkey/Tinsel' coach holiday to Dunoon

    As fairly regular coach trip holiday makers we have just enjoyed this 'Turkey/Tinsel' 5 -day trip to The Selborne Hotel, Dunoon. Skilled, informative driver, David, enjoyable excursions with superb scenery, an older-style hotel in excellent location, helpful, friendly, polite hotel staff, clean & comfy room and really very adequate food. This off-season, budget priced short break proved excellent value for money, even if there were some delays at the interchange. Thank you all Alfa Staff.

    Turkey and tinsel

    NEW BEACH HOTEL, GREAT YARMOUTH

    Went to this hotel in November and had a lovely time. It was a turkey and tinsel break. Hotel was very organized and the staff worked hard to make it special. Would recommend this hotel as one of the better ones in the Alfa dynasty. Thanks
    PS. Wish that all Alfa hotels were as good

    Coach holiday

    TENBY. CLIFF NORTON HOTEL

    Just came back from a Christmas and New year break from this Alfa hotel. Sad to say we weren't impressed. We had cold and repetitive meals, even on Christmas Day. There was no atmosphere in the hotel. The only night that was nice was new year's eve, as staff had made an effort for us. The hotel needs to improve the layout of the communal areas and the overall design as it is not suitable. The kitchen had its own problems, hence cold food.

    All our meals were repetetive and unappertising. Poor selection of hot drinks and lagers in most Alfa hotels. Same old food, please Alfa make some changes.

    We would like to thank all the staff for all their hard work. The hotel was very under staff, but they gave us their very best. Well done to them.
    The only member of staff lacking was the manager because he was rarely there.

    Weston super mare. Anchor head hotel

    Just came back from the break at the anchor head hotel in Weston super mare. Our room hadn't been cleaned upon arrival. Also our room had frequent wafts of sewage, so had to keep the window open 24/7. Was told by member of cleaning staff they did have a sewage problem. Complained to Alfa, only to be brushed with an apology. Has made us feel like liars as they excepted staffs version. Very disheartening

    Western Lakes

    An enjoyable trip to Whitehaven. The Hotel ticked all the boxes, delicious food and very helpful staff. Days away to Ravenglass and Muncaster Castle, then Grasmere and Keswick were
    excellent. Andy, our driver, scored 10/10.

    Regina hotel Torquay

    i have just spent a week at the Regina hotel Torquay,i am very disgusted at the condition of the place,the carpets need cleaning the whole place needs a wash and a lick of paint,the service was very poor,the meals need to be better coordinated,tea was supposed to be at 7.15it was after 8 most evenings and we were asked what we want for sweet and then told later they haven't got it, there was nothing left,there was no where to sit like a lounge after your tea ,when we got bowburn and got on the feeder coach after been sitting for half an hour the driver left but turned round and whent back into bowburn he realized he had to take another half an hour,but completely mucked up our travel plans when got home(taxis)) I'm not booking with Alfa again , shocking ,i certainly will not recommend Alfa to anyone, Alan Fenwick a dissatisfied customer

    Criccieth June 2021

    Hi went to Criccieth Wales in June. Hotel under refurbishment which we were unaware of. Lots of workman around, dust, doors left open or propped open making it even colder in the hotel, not very nice at all. No heating some of the other guests sat in their coats for their food as it was so cold. Food awful can’t even cook roast potatoes, a lot of frozen vegetables. On return the driver took a guy on the holiday and dropped him off at the train station. Made us late for the services.could not say goodbye properly to my sister, just enough time for a loo stop and get food.
    The good points trips fantastic.
    The waitress was also fantastic.

    Isle of wight

    Although the hotel and the staff were excellent, the food delicious the rooms nice.The travel to and from the hotel to the pick up points were a nightmare, we were taken by another company who's bus should have been scrapped the seats were so uncomfortable with lumps ,no room , after 9 hours we could hardly move so cramped were we, we only had one stop to stretch our legs ,social chit chat completely bypassed our driver, we were given no information about anything,What I'd like to know is where are all the luxury ALPHA coaches as this is my second and maybe my last trip ,I may never get to see one

    Sounds how we was surprised you have given such a high score of 6 after your experience ????

    Criccieth & Snowdonia

    For the price it's decent value overall but don't book until you can be
    assured that the catering at the GeorgeIV hotel in Criccieth has
    greatly improved since August 2020. Nobody expects gourmet
    food at these prices but they cannot cook even yorkshire puddings
    (absolute stodge, had not attempted to rise), Minestrone soup was
    frozen vegetable medley in boiling water with a little reddish colouring
    added (possibly tomato flavoured) and then the same vegetables
    were served with the main course. I could go on but gave up after 3rd night and dined elsewhere.

    Two holidays

    I booked two coach holidays with Alfa but as the virus became more active I chose to cancel. I followed their rules exactly regarding cancellation, and have sent photo copies of all the details, 5 times, and telephoned, for a refund.
    Alfa have'nt even the good manners to reply.
    This has been going on for 4 months and still no sign of a refund.



    this sounds about right they dont seem to like complaints or give refunds

    7 days at Weston Super-mare Anchor Head hotel

    Pick up was disorganised from feeder onwards - no information! Hotel was so disgusting (room strongly smelled of urine). It was so bad we caught a train home to Lincoln the next morning! No compensation offered at all. Worst holiday of our lives. We would definitely not use Alfa travel again.
