From elegant Victorian country houses to vibrant cosmopolitan city hotels, Shearings’ new coach holidays offer clients a short break with a touch of luxury. Banish any dated preconceptions about low-budget coach holidays and cheap hotels; with Shearings, clients are treated to fascinating itineraries, tempting menus and top service.
To give clients even more choice, the trade-friendly operator has added eight tours to its upmarket Signature Collection, which is a premium version of Shearings’ ever-popular tours. The collection features hand-picked hotels in excellent locations, and the majority are four-star properties offering the highest standard of service and excellent facilities. Guests can indulge and relax at the spas, swimming pools and stylish bars and lounges, and enjoy a range of delicious dining options.
These fully escorted breaks are incredibly popular with typical Shearings customers, who are often retired and in the middle mature market. With a healthy level of disposable income, Shearings’ clients often take several holidays a year and enjoy short breaks. They can relax during their comfortable coach journey, and there are convenient local joining points across the UK.

Shearings has more than 35 years of experience in delivering superb breaks across the UK and Europe, which is evident in the new Signature Collection tours. They include the York, the Dales and Harrogate afternoon tea tour, staying at the four-star DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel and Spa, a stately Victorian property that sits amid eight acres of beautifully landscaped gardens in the heart of Harrogate.
In the Pretty Peak District, Chatsworth and Lyme Park tour, clients are based at the Old Hall Hotel in Buxton which dates back to 1573 and is reputed to be the oldest hotel in England. While in the new Edinburgh Castle and the Scottish Borders tour they’ll stay at the imposing Barony Castle Hotel.

Shearings’ head of retail sales Ashley Dellow adds: “Shearings Signature Collection, along with our Warner Hotel Breaks, are our premium products, appealing to those looking for an indulgent UK break with luxurious touches and superb hotel facilities to enjoy. The tours are a perfect suggestion for celebratory breaks, or simply a well-deserved treat!”
