I’ve been to this hotel about 4 years ago and had a great time. I also had a great time last week. The Staff were great and our driver Nick was too. It’s nice when the group of travellers on the same coach are great too. The weather was great and I had a very nice room too. I would definitely recommend the Cliffe Norton hotel as it is a super venue with easy access to all shops and amenities……. 👌😎👍

Another lovely holiday with Alfa Holidays
Another lovely holiday with Alfa staying at the Monarch Hotel in Bridlington . Lovely hotel with friendly staff , good food and entertainment most evenings
The hotel is in a great location, across the road from Bridlington Spa theatre. We went to see ABBA Forever show, which was really good
Trips out to Scarborough and Filey were good. The trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Pickering to Whitby was great especially seeing Goathland station which I have wanted to see as a fan of Heartbeat and Harry Potter
On our day off we stayed in Bridlington . Lots to see and do.
We caught the land train from the leisure centre on the front to the Bondville Model Village. The attention to detail was really good and included a set of questions to identify what could be found while going around. Good for all ages
Our tour driver Shaun from Grayways was knowledgeable about the places we visited . We had a bonus stop to York on our way home
This was our 4th Alfa Holiday this year and we really enjoyed them all

I've just come back from a great holiday
I've just come back from a great holiday to the Isle of Wight. The room we had was spotless and large. The hotel itself was clean ,tidy and in a prime location opposite the beach and pier in Sandown.The staff were friendly, polite and very helpful. The choice of food was excellent both for breakfast and the evening meal and how lovely to be served at our table, a special shout out to Stan who looked after us at the table ,he was brilliant. Dave the driver was a great driver who looked after us all and was informative re the Island. Fantastic value for money. This was my first trip with Alfa and I will be using them again in the future.

Hotel was nice and food was good
Hotel was nice and food was good. I was lucky to have a large room overlooking the garden. Trips out to the Cotswolds was good but a trip to Bicester Village was totally inappropriate for a coach load of pensioners!! Our driver found it difficult to find parking for coaches in the Cotswolds and said he’d never come back again!! I see it’s in your brochure for next year, as there were only seventeen of us I don’t think it’s that popular

Enjoyed the weeks coach holiday in north Wales. Hotel & staff were extremely welcoming, friendly & very helpful. Our driver, Dan, was absolutely brilliant & made the coach trips very enjoyable with his knowledge of the area, interesting facts & his witty humour. Also felt very safe with his excellent driving. Not a complaint but just an observation as we & others agreed on : just felt that whilst visiting places the time spent at many of the places was a little too long as most of the folk were often sat waiting quite a while to get back on the coach. But all in all an excellent week.

Overall a excellent holiday
Overall a excellent holiday! Food was delicious! Room was tidy and a good mix of excursions and free time! Our only gripe is that some excursions such as tentagel should be all day instead of half a day as there wasn't enough time to see everything! Apart from that 10 out of 10

the cumberland hotel was great the food was fantastic'
the only downside was the trips out. we had a different driver every time. usually a relief we only had our designated driver on the way home. from tamworth to scarborough we had a relief driver and he went all the way there without a stop. (just over 3 hours) apart from this we really enjoyed the holiday

Eight delightful days.
We enjoyed some lovely company among other guests. The hotel staff were a delight. The driver, Calum, was consistently pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable about all the destinations we visited.
