Clair's of Derbyshire Coach Tours Brochure 2021
I'd like to say an extra special huge thank you to everyone who has             SEATING PLAN                                SEATING PLAN
travelled with us during 2020, at times we have been uncertain of
what is going to come next, but we have made it through, with a great
deal of support from you our valued and loyal customers and in no
small part due to the understanding of the majority of our hotels and
their amazing efforts in doing everything that they could possibly do
to keep us all safe whilst we were on tour.
It’s been wonderful to meet some new people and to get reacquainted
with some old friends who were sorely missed during lockdown, The
tours we have managed to complete this year have seemed that little
bit sweeter because we were all so desperate for a break.
I'm delighted at long last to introduce our 2021 brochure, I just
couldn't bare to put it out incomplete and with some hotels not yet
reopened I'm sure you can imagine it has been quite a task. Some of
you have been busy sending in your destination suggestions and you
will be pleased to see that we do listen to these ideas with Warners
new in for this year as well as taking the leap abroad with Austria and
WWI Battlefields. Whoever it was that suggested the Isle of Bute last
year can give themselves a big pat on the back, with comments like
"best holiday ever" I can't wait to do that one myself next year.
A special mention has to go to the Channel View Hotel in Shanklin on
the Isle of Wight for valiantly stepping into the breach in August and
continuing to provide for us in October and we are looking forward to
returning in February.
Our Facebook followers will have noticed that my photography skills
are improving (although not quite as good as Matt's) and we have
been trying to keep you all up to date and entertained with our posts
especially for those of you who have not yet ventured out, I do hope
we didn't bore you too much with our cycling antics during lockdown.
The layout in the brochure remains the same with the door to door
holidays clearly marked as well as the ones with pick up points and
we hope that you will find something that satisfies your destination
needs as well as your budget.
                                                                              Mobile Booking Office                          GIFT VOUCHERS
I'd like to say a massive thank you to the best Mum in the world for
her gargantuan efforts during these trying times.                               Please note that we have                  You can purchase gift vouchers
