How long does it take to get to the centres by coach?
The approximate timings below are from Calais. You will need to add any additional UK travel time depending on where you will be meeting the coach. Remember that you travel through the night so the journeys seem to pass quicker.
Camping la Savane – 14 hours
Hauteville (from Caen) – 2.5 hours
Villeneuve – 15 hours
Cala Llevado – 18 hours
There's only coach holidays on the dates I can travel, but I want to drive!
Just because we have a coach going out on your chosen dates doesn't mean that you must travel on it! You can still book that holiday and then drive or fly. The price remains the same as we don't sell 'your' seats on the coach so that they are available for you when on centre and on excursions or journeys to activity sites should you want.
Where will the coach pick-up point be?
We arrange several convenient pick up points which will start from the north of England or Scotland and then follow a main route, usually following the A1 or M1, or M5 to London and then Dover.
We choose the best route to suit all families going to a particular resort. Pick up points tend to be transport terminals such as coach and train stations, motorway service stations and, finally, Dover Docks.
If you are considering travelling by coach but are worried about where to meet the coach or how long the journey would be, please call us on 0800 074 9791 so we can advise you on the best choice for you.
Why should I choose a coach holiday?
Our coach holidays are more popular than self-drive or flying, and are always the first to sell out. Coach travel is ideal for families, particularly single-parent families, who don't like the idea of long drives or driving on the wrong side of the road! They are also a very good way of keeping down the hidden costs of travel.
Will I need to use my car whilst at centre?
If you choose a Self Drive or Fly Drive holiday, you may have to use your car to access some of our activity sites, especially at Villeneuve in Italy where almost all activities are off-site. You will of course be welcome to go off-site at any time for excursions or days/evenings out, although we find that many families only choose to do so once or twice during their holiday with us.
