Great Value Break to Eastbourne!

The town is surrounded by the stunning South Downs with a wealth of excursion possibilities in the region. We are delighted to be staying at the popular Hadleigh Hotel located close to the seafront. Come along for some  fun!

DAY 1
After being collected from your local pick up point home (approx 9.30am) we have a stop on route for lunch before arriving at the hotel mid-afternoon with time for a stroll. During our stay at the hotel, dinner is served in the restaurant with 3 courses and choice of menu.

Tour Itineraries for 2021

As of November 2020,
we are very confident that the current situation will improve vastly in the
coming months. As you know, we pride ourselves on our interesting holiday
itineraries. We also pride ourselves in operating our holidays as close to the
advertised itinerary as possible so as such, do not want to guarantee excursion
destinations which may not be available. So for some of the
2021 holidays we are leaving the itineraries open to change – these will be
confirmed closer to departure when we are sure destinations are okay. Within
the current holiday details, we will offer a list of probable destinations some
of which will be included in your holiday. We cannot guarantee that all
destinations listed will be included in the final itinerary.  

Pricing for 2021
– as we are unable to guarantee specific destinations, we have not included
entrance fees or train/ferry fees (where applicable). When the final itinerary
details are confirmed, there will be an additional charge to include these fees
- payable by you before your holiday departs. For most holidays these should be
a modest amount. Please be assured that we are absolutely committed to making your holiday the best it can be. If you need any clarification on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
