In late September we went on a coach holiday with Travelstyle to Bournemouth. The coach was a rather rubbish with an awful change over at Hopwood services. The public rooms in the hotel, the Maemar, were nice, an old place as you can see, and the staff were friendly, but the food was very, very basic. It was not a very comfortable journey: tatty old coach and gloomy, poky rooms, insufficient coat hangers and not much room to put stuff. Not impressed with anything TravelStyle.
I wouldn't recommend Travelstyle unless that is the kind of holiday you want!
There were coach trips to Poole and Swanage, and to Weymouth and Lulworth Cove, which were all not bad, except for the useless coach driver. We also had a nice time looking at the terrific gardens in Bournemouth and Boscombe and visiting the wonderful, exotic gardens in Alum Chine. So not a bad holiday, really.
