Volcano disruption: Discount for UK holidays

ben on 19th April 2010 | 0 comments

With the massive disruption caused by the ash cloud, we are all having to deal with a world without flights, albeit temporarily. For people at a loose end having had their holiday plans thrown into disarray for the coming month, we are now offering 10% off stays in our five luxury yurt and tipi sites in England and Wales* in May.  

Open wood fires and stunning settings have made glamping sites particularly fashionable of late. And with prices from £175 per yurt for a four night stay, they are more than affordable. Finding a yurt on a bank holiday weekend is nigh on impossible, but there is plenty of space during the rest of May. With the weather looking to stay fine for the time being, act soon as we expect availability to fill up quickly.

And if you are looking further ahead but don't want you holiday to be at the mercy of the ash clouds, we have come up with a selection of some of our favourite short haul holidays. They are all just a little adventurous, reasonably priced and easily reachable by train, bus or car.

1. Enjoy a week's holiday spent walking inn to inn along Hadrian's Wall from £435 per person. It is all booked up in April but if you are planning a holiday for later in the year you won't have a problem. 
2. Explore the coastline and wildlife of the Hebrides on a small boat cruise or by sea kayak.  Prices from £475 per person. The sea kayaking trip is available departing June 13th, July 4th, July 25th and various dates in August and September. The wildlife cruise is available departing 29th April and various dates during the summer.
3. For those looking for a little adventure with and great food, how about a week combining cooking classes, a relaxing spa and surf lessons on the French Atlantic Coast? Prices from E515 per person.

Last Minute Oktoberfest Trips

Anna on 30th September 2009 | 1 comment

If you have been thinking about going to Oktoberfest, but not yet got round to organising your trip, or indeed are just wondering what to do this weekend, then look no further!

There are still places available on this weekend's tour to the Oktoberfest departing on the 2nd - 5th October.  The tour takes you to one of Bavaria'a most popular tourist attractions, the castle of Neuschwanstein, before taking in the Austrian village of Obergammerau.  After enjoying these cultural highlights, it's on to Munich for a tour of the city and then to the big event itself. Andy, who organises and leads the tours, has a table in the Hacker Festzelt where you can enjoy some fine beer and oompah songs!
