PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 30, 2009 – Christmas is just around the corner, and the bustling high streets and intense planning can become tiresome. So why not escape the early stresses of the festive season and relax with a short UK ‘Tinsel and Turkey’ break from coach tour operator Alfa Travel.

Alfa Travel specialises in quality coach holidays throughout the UK and the near Continent. Through their network of 17 Leisureplex hotels and carefully selected third party hotels, they offer short breaks to some of the UK’s major holiday destinations, with pick-up points situated throughout the country.

Four nights at a Leisureplex hotel with the Tinsel and Turkey package starts at only £166 per person, with departure dates throughout December. Prices are based on two adults sharing a double/twin room for four nights, and each package includes two lunches, excursions and festive entertainment.

Here are some of the resorts featured in Alfa Travel’s ‘Tinsel and Turkey’ Christmas packages:

•   Imperial Hotel, Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe is set in an unbeatable location in North Devon, amid a rocky coastline of outstanding beauty. For the energetic there are splendid walks along the Coast Path, or for those who like to take things a little easier, one can take a walk through the delightful gardens or wander through the narrow streets to the harbour, and while away an hour or two watching the ever changing scene. Entertainment is well provided for, with plenty of theatres, bingos and bars.

•   Eliot Hotel, Newquay

Cornwall's premier holiday resort, Newquay boasts some of the finest coastlines in Europe.

There are also the atmospheric smugglers' pubs, which are a living reminder of the more colourful side of Cornwall's history.

•   Cottage Hotel, St. Ives

St. Ives is one of Britain's most enigmatic resorts, and despite its popularity, it somehow manages to retain its old-world charm with an enchanting maze of narrow streets and lanes, hemmed in by picturesque granite buildings. The Cottage Hotel is situated in Carbis Bay, and there are innumerable small craft and antique shops, art galleries, pubs and cafés.

•   Madeira Hotel, Falmouth

The main resort of the South Cornish Riviera, Falmouth is also one of the most popular.

Along the main high street there are quaint old shops standing beside famous stores, and as you walk along you will catch glimpses of the colourful harbour through the picturesque alleyways.

•   Regina Hotel, Torquay

Situated at the heart of 22 miles of unspoilt coastline, Torquay is often referred to as the 'English Riviera'. Torquay has something to offer everyone: by day you can explore the bustling marina and excellent shops, or if you are feeling more active there are lovely walks, or activities such as bowls or golf. By night you'll be spoilt for choice, as there are theatres, night clubs, cabarets & discotheques. Torquay's harbour-side features Living Coasts, a fascinating wildlife attraction adjacent to the Regina Hotel.
