I Honestly can't fault Lochs and glens holidays, me and my wife have done two now, and two more booked already for 2025, Excellent value for money in my opinion , Hotel staff are excellent, the drivers we have had have been brilliant. And the coaches are top quality and very comfortable considering how long you are on it, but frequent stops making the journey a pleasant experience. Food is very good. Rooms have always been clean Probably could benefit from a refurbishment as some are a little tired but as I said aways very clean.

I went on a loch and Glens holiday about 2years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed it, l travelled solo, was made welcome by guests and staff. The meals and trips where well organised, and of course the beauty, ruggedness and wildness of the highlands is a delight to see.

Very nice video, enjoyed watching it as have been looking into their holidays and what’s involved. How do you find their coaches for comfort, would someone who is 6ft 4 fit do you think, leg room wise?
@geoffcreamer61462 ай бұрын
Thanks for video comment. We are only 5ft & 5ft 7" and we find the coaches very comfortable , There are obviously taller people manage well with leg room. The drivers stop for comfort and leg stretch breaks at regular intervals. Probably no more than 2.5 to 3 hours

Hi Geoff, I enjoyed watching this, we've been here as well, with Pav the same driver, great tour, it's a pity shearings have taken it off their tours as it was always popular. As an aside - I wondered if you're the same Geoff Creamer I worked with in MK a few years ago?
