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. Although well known as Britain's surfing capital, there are many other activities and the surrounding countryside has an endless wealth of fascinating places to visit. Newquay offers wonderful cliff and beach walks, a picturesque harbour to explore and a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. 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. Boasting one of the highest average sunshine records in Britain, Falmouth has a marvellous harbour overlooked by Pendennis Castle, one of Henry VIII's forts. Falmouth's historic past is commemorated in its National Maritime Museum, a world class attraction offering unique interactive displays. 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.
• Bayshore Hotel, Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight has a great deal to offer with mile upon mile of stunning countryside, and all the usual modern holiday facilities in the resorts.

As well as the many daytime activities, there are also plenty of evening entertainments to suit all tastes.
• New Beach Hotel, Great Yarmouth

Cromer is set amidst the pleasant Norfolk countryside with its leafy country lanes, villages with their flint cottages and of course the Norfolk Broads.
• George IV Hotel, Criccieth
On the south side of the Llyn Peninsula with splendid views over Cardigan Bay, Criccieth is home to a medieval castle, built by the Welsh in the mid-thirteenth century. The countryside around Criccieth is breathtaking with awesome mountain scenery in Snowdonia and delightful gardens and castles at every turn.

Dunoon is a marvellous base from which to explore the rugged mountain scenery of Argyll. Situated on the western shores of the Firth of Clyde, it boasts some lovely gardens, and a long promenade. Nearby, there is a modern indoor swimming pool with sauna, bowling greens, squash and tennis courts and both 9- and 18-hole golf courses. Within a few miles is some of Scotland's most spectacular mountain scenery - the journeys along Loch Eck and to Colintraive are amongst the most memorable anywhere in Scotland.
• Croit Anna Hotel, Fort William
The outdoor capital of the UK, Fort William is not only an important tourist centre but also a splendid location from which to explore the magnificent Western Highlands. Nearby Aonach Mor offers Britain's only alpine cable car, rising over 2000 feet to the Snowgoose restaurant. The surrounding countryside has some of Britain's most spectacular scenery and its torrid history has produced over 30 battlefields in the Lochaber area alone.
