Itinerary

From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to York to enjoy a few hours exploring the famous city. One of Europe's most popular cities, renowned for its Roman, Viking and medieval heritage, with lots of attractions for visitors to enjoy. The streets are full of historic buildings, traditional shops and cafés, and several museums and art galleries. Later, we re-join the coach and continue to our hotel for dinner and our overnight stay.

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and travel to the train station to board the Wensleydale Railway for our festive adventure. Enjoy freshly baked cookies and hot chocolate as you sing along to Christmas carols and soak up the festive magic. We also have time to visit the gift shop afterwards before we re-join the coach for our journey home.


Accommodation

We’ll stay at a well-appointed hotel (JG3 or JG4 rating). All rooms are en suite and other facilities include a bar and restaurant.

Your hotel will be confirmed approximately 3 weeks before departure, therefore we cannot guarantee that the hotel will have a lift and/or ground floor rooms and may be unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Hotel Rating

Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.

Accommodation in our JG4 category is of an even higher standard, typically offering a wide range of facilities and services. Bedrooms are designed to make your stay the most comfortable possible and the staff provide a service that reflects the detail and quality. You can also expect higher standards of food and beverages.
