Accommodation Close

Selected Hotel

JG3 or JG4 rating

We’ll stay at a well-appointed hotel. The comfortable rooms are en suite and other facilities include a bar and restaurant. Meals may be buffet style.

Your hotel will be confirmed approximately 3 weeks before departure, therefore we cannot guarantee that the hotel will have a lift and/or ground floor rooms and may be unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Hotel Rating

Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival

From a morning pickup in your local area we travel by coach to our hotel in time for dinner and our first night’s stay.

Day 2 - The Flying Scotsman & Cambridge

Following breakfast at the hotel, we head to Wansford, where we board our train behind the magnificent locomotive, the Flying Scotsman. Sit back and relax as we meander through a picturesque landscape of water meadows, idyllic farmland and a country park during our steam-hauled round-trip journey on the Nene Valley Railway. Opened in 1847, it has featured many times on screen, including the James Bond films Octopussy and Goldeneye.

Upon our return to Wansford, we make our way to atmospheric Cambridge for some free time. This fascinating university city is full of beautiful architecture, leafy green parks and majestic college buildings, including the famous King’s College Chapel on the banks of the River Cam. Watch the punters drift by on the river or visit the Fitzwilliam Museum, the art and antiquities museum of the University of Cambridge, which contains a vast collection of paintings, armour, ceramics, furniture, textiles, sculptures and manuscripts.

Day 3 - Return Home

After checking out of the hotel we re-join the coach and make our way home.
