morning, to spend a few hours in the delightful ‘twin’
villages of East and West Looe.

lunchtime and the afternoon in Falmouth. Time here
for a boat trip on the River Fal or a visit to the National

Day 5 Mevagissey is a typical Cornish village (though
less hilly than most!) After an hour or so there we move

once-disused quarry has been transformed into the most
stunning and unusual garden attraction in the country.

The ‘Hotel on the Beach!’ A great location and
an extremely popular hotel with our customers
for many years!
Day 1 With regular breaks in our journey, we arrive at
the hotel in good time to relax before dinner. There is
regular entertainment in the hotel, plus an indoor pool
and beauty salon too.
Day 2 A free morning means time to stroll on the wide,
sandy beach, explore the (limited) shops in this small
town or, for the more adventurous, why not step out
on the South West Coast Path for some truly stunning
views! In the afternoon, a short excursion to pretty St.
Just in Roseland and St. Mawes, with a refreshment
break in Truro, the county town and only city in
Cornwall.
Day 3 A short ride through the heart of Cornwall to
Mevagissey this morning. A quaint, traditional fishing
village with pretty stone cottages and a harbour. By
lunchtime we reach Falmouth, which boasts the
deepest harbour in Western Europe, providing shelter to
many large ocean going vessels. There is a fascinating
Maritime Museum near the quayside and a selection of
enjoyable boat trips on the River Fal.
Day 4 (Not April) We drive across the county today
for a visit to the twin towns of East and West Looe,
so prominent on the news channels in the spring of
2014 as victims of some horrific floods, and now fully
restored and a delightful place to spend an afternoon!

Day 2 Recover from your journey with a full day at
leisure! Our hotel is on Falmouth’s ‘second’ seafront, with
beach walks at the door. The town centre attractions are
a walk away but, for the non-walkers, local buses will take
you around the beautiful coast into the town on a regular
basis. Pendennis Castle is nearby and the National
Maritime Museum is certainly worth a visit.
Day 3 Following a morning visit to the Cornish
Goldsmiths we continue along the coast to the tiny
A ‘Cottage’ in Cornwall
Crane Islands, to spend lunchtime and the afternoon in
St. Ives. A minibus shuttle takes you from the coach park
to the town below (& back) for a small charge.

Cornish fishing port, and then continue for an afternoon
at the Eden Project to see how things have developed
in the years since the creation of this, the most popular
visitor attraction in the South West.
Day 5* A morning ride down to Land’s End, with time for
a coffee and a picture by the signpost if you wish. After a
midday break in Penzance we pay a short visit to the Seal
Sanctuary at Gweek before returning to the hotel.
Day 6* After a short break in Newquay, we travel along
the pretty coast road overlooking Watergate Bay to
Padstow for lunchtime. There’s a brief refreshment
break in Truro on our return.

Centre’ (always popular!) Later, we spend an hour or
so in Penzance before returning to our hotel.

finest tropical gardens, then into Falmouth for
lunchtime and the afternoon. There’s a superb
Maritime Museum, or boat trips on the river.

Holiday Information
Tour coaches – All tour coaches used by Laver Holidays are fitted with a WC, hot drinks
facility, reclining seats, double glazing and, in most cases, air conditioning and a kneeling
facility! TV and video (where fitted) are almost never used on tour. Tour coaches used are
NOT owned by our company, though several do carry our name.
Laver CLUB CLASS touring – The same comforts as described above, but with a little
extra too! There are just 44 passenger seats available, plus a tabled area at the rear for
the occasional benefit of ALL passengers. See below, for more details of the other extra
features involved in a CLUB CLASS tour.
Seat allocations – On all our coach holidays, specific seats can be reserved when
booking. We do not operate a rotation system, therefore you will retain your chosen/
allocated seat for the duration of the holiday. When travelling on sub-contracted coaches
(i.e. Channel Islands, air, rail or cruise holidays), there are no reserved seats. Collette
Worldwide Holidays DO operate a seat rotation system.
Child reductions – It is impossible to be specific over child reductions as each hotel
operates a different policy on the subject. A child’s age and the number of adults sharing
the room both have a bearing on costs. We would however, be pleased to obtain a quote
on request.
Smoking – There is a total smoking ban on ALL tour coaches. Bookings are taken on the
understanding that this policy is adhered to at all times.
Mobile phones – These are regarded as anti-social when used in restricted public areas,
such as on a tour coach! Please keep their use to a minimum, and preferably switch the
ringtone to silent!
Disabled travellers – If you need advice on selecting a suitable holiday, please ask. A
member of company staff will be able to offer guidance on the suitability of any hotel.
If you propose taking a wheelchair or walking frame please be sure to state this when
booking so that a suitable taxi is provided for you. Our company is prepared to carry
dry-battery motorised scooters on tour coaches (with prior notification), but only on the
clear understanding that the user, or a travel companion, is responsible for lifting the item
on and off the coach as required – and for making their own taxi/transfer arrangements.
Lazy Breaks
Lazy Break
Such machines vary enormously in size and weight and in order to protect our drivers
from potential injury (and the inevitable delay and inconvenience that would cause to
other travellers), the company cannot expect their tour drivers to handle them.
Special diets – Hotels can cater for most dietary requirements, but it is advisable to state
any such needs at the time of booking to avoid disappointment or difficulty whilst on
tour.
Luggage – One reasonably sized suitcase per person please.
Luggage labels – These are issued when you pay your holiday balance and should be
completed prior to departure. Labels are colour-coded and should not be used on any
tour other than the one for which they were issued.
Hotels – We are constantly striving to offer hotels of the highest possible standards. To
minimise difficulties on arrival please state clearly, when booking, the type of room you
require; i.e. single, twin (two beds) or double (one bed). Other requests, such as specific
floors or views are passed on to the hotel as requests only, and as such we can offer no
guarantee. Extra costs, such as room service, telephone calls, newspapers, bar expenses
etc. are payable direct to the hotel prior to departure.
Private facilities – All bedrooms featured in our programme have private bathrooms.
Basic rooms are no longer available.
Single rooms – These are usually at a premium. Where possible we encourage guests to
share with a companion of their choice. Any supplement charged is the decision of the
hotel and therefore out of our control. We have introduced a large selection of singles
breaks in an attempt to ease the ongoing problem of ‘demand outweighing supply!’
Group bookings – For parties of 11 or more, booking directly through one of our own
offices, we are pleased to offer concessions. Discounts vary from tour to tour. Group
bookings cannot be made through an agent.
Photo ID and passports – A full passport is required for all foreign travel by coach, air or
cruise. British citizens do not require a passport for Ireland or the Channel Islands (unless
you plan an excursion to France), but you will require an official form of ID. Non-British
travellers should check with their embassy regarding their need for visas. Always check
the expiry date on your passport. Laver Holidays accept no responsibility for financial
loss or inconvenience caused if a passenger is refused exit or entry from this or any other
country.
Ride the CLUB CLASS Luxury Coach
Wherever you see the ‘Lazy Break’ logo over a tour photo you can be sure of
an even more restful and relaxing holiday. We have occasionally been accused
of putting too much into a programme in our desire to give you the highest
possible value for money – and as a result some passengers have found certain
tours too demanding! Now you can start at a sensible time, enjoy relaxing days
on tour, spend more time at leisure during stops and return home a little earlier
than usual – all on a ‘Lazy Break!’
In 2014 we replaced our GOLD COACH with a beautiful Neoplan 6-wheeled coach
built to a very high specification. Fewer seats mean greater legroom! Plus, rear
lounge areas where you can sit and read your complimentary newspaper or relax
chatting to friends or fellow travellers. The popular Welcome/Pre-Dinner Drink
remains included! LOOK OUT FOR THE ‘CLUB CLASS’ LOGO ON MANY OF THE
TOURS FEATURED IN THIS BROCHURE!

OUR Insurance – or YOUR Insurance?
The cost of all coach tours of 3-days or more shown in this brochure includes
insurance but we realise that these days many travellers have personal insurance
connected to their credit cards or their bank, or they have annual cover. For those
customers we now offer a tour cost minus the insurance premium.
Two things to remember if you decide not to accept our ‘insurance-inclusive’ tour
cost:
1. Many card or bank-related policies are intended for foreign travel and may not
be suitable for UK holidays. Read your policy carefully and, if in doubt, contact your
insurer first.
2. It is a misconception to believe that, because we have the NHS in the UK, personal
insurance is unnecessary. Not true! The NHS might look after you if you were to
be taken ill whilst on holiday – but what if you were taken ill at home, before the
holiday started? Once your balance is paid to us, possibly 7 weeks prior to travel, it
then becomes potentially non-refundable if not covered by insurance! One reason
why your insurance is so important!
Our insurance also covers accidents that prevent travel, loss of belongings or cash
whilst on tour, the cost of getting you home if you are unable to travel on the coach,
and much more. We strongly recommend that you never travel without insurance
cover. Brief details of the cover we provide can be found on this page and full
details are issued when booking or on request.
If you wish to travel without our insurance, this must be made clear when booking
and the premium deducted from your original receipt. We regret we cannot do this
retrospectively. We ask that you supply us with the basic details of your alternative
insurance (company & policy number) prior to travel.
If you decline our insurance your holiday costs are reduced as follows:
3 or 4 days -£5.00
5 or 6 days

7 or 8 days

contract with Laver Holidays Ltd (‘the company’). Package Tour
Regulations, however, state that you should be fully informed of all
relevant details prior to the contract being entered into. To afford
potential passengers the opportunity to reconsider their commitment
to the company, having reviewed the terms of the contract, we do not
consider the agreement binding until 5 clear days have elapsed after

received the documents from the company, either direct or through
the agent. At any point during the 5 day period you may advise the
company of your wish to cancel and your deposit will be refunded
in full on production of all documents issued. After the 5 day period
has elapsed, the terms and conditions contained in this agreement
become binding. We urge you to always read the terms of your
agreement with the company.
Should your reservation be made after the balance due date, then
you will be advised to read though our terms & conditions in full prior
to confirmation and then sign our acknowledgment form to confirm
that this was advised.

The Italian Lakes
A stylish train journey through
Europe, to spend 5 (or 7)
glorious nights in a lakeside
paradise in Northern Italy.
This region of sub-alpine
lakes bears a Mediterranean
feel with exotic sub-tropical

and promenades. From our
base in Lake Orta we are
ideally located to explore
this spectacular region. The
September date is escorted by
a member of our own staff!

by train! On another we visit a slate workshop
and an ‘Italian’ village of TV fame - AND we are
‘Escorting’ you throughout!!
YOUR ITINERARY.....
Day 1 After a coffee stop at Trentham and lunchtime
in Chester, we follow the beautiful coast road through
Conwy to Caernarvon. Our town centre hotel, amongst
the finest in Wales, has a superb indoor leisure complex.
Day 2 Portmeirion, our morning call, is an Italian-style
village featured in many TV shows over the years,
including the ‘70’s cult show, ‘The Prisoner’ with Patrick
McGoohan. We take a midday break in Porthmadog
and, during our return ride to Caernarvon, we call at a
slate workshop where you see craftsmen producing a
variety of gifts and other items.
Day 3 A short ride along the shores of Llyn (Lake)

with its quaint harbour and streets lined with colourful
cottages. Our stay in Tenby is followed by an afternoon

Day 1 From the Potteries we travel north to arrive
at our hotel for a Welcome Drink, with time to relax
before dinner.
Day 2 For our Lakeland excursion we have chosen
the beautiful Ullswater, Bassenthwaite Lake and the
town of Cockermouth. We have a cruise booked for
you through incredible scenery, along the whole
length of Ullswater. This is followed by a lunch break
in Keswick, a drive alongside Bassenthwaite Lake and
an hour or two at leisure in Cockermouth, a thriving
from £374
market town.
Day 3 Enjoy a morning at leisure in Gretna village.
The Blacksmith’s Shop, where eloping couples used
to wed, is a short walk away and there are numerous
opportunities for coffee or lunch. In the afternoon
there’s a short excursion to Caerlaverock Castle – a
small, triangular shaped, moated castle, with visitor
centre and tea room.
Day 4 North into the border country today, for a
coffee/early lunch stop in the little town of Moffat,
with its wide high street and traditional shops. A
little further north we leave the main highway and
travel through the Lowther Hills to Drumlanrig.
Now this is a very different castle to Caerlaverock.
Larger, more imposing and known as the ‘Pink Palace’
because of its sandstone appearance. Built as a
home to the first Duke of Queensbury, the exterior
appearance is grand, but the interior is absolutely
stunning! We enjoy Afternoon Tea here!
Day 5 Time for home. With regular breaks en route,
we arrive in the midlands by late afternoon.

evening at Dunkeld, in the Spey Valley south of
Pitlochry.
Day 2 Today, we continue north and after a short
break in Aviemore, we reach Inverness for lunchtime.
The city, often called the ‘Queen of The Highlands’
lies on the banks of the River Ness and has had a
chequered history ever since it is claimed it was visited
by St. Columba in AD565. Our afternoon ride follows
the Cromarty Firth and the North Sea coastline to Wick
and, finally, our hotel in Castletown, between Thurso
and John O’Groats. We have 3 nights here.
Day 3 Enjoy a stroll in nearby Thurso this morning,
the largest town in the region and a popular holiday
resort. In the afternoon we visit Castle of Mey.
Formerly known as Barrogill Castle, it was saved from
demolition when purchased by Her Majesty the Queen
Mother in 1952, later to be beautifully restored and
said to have become her favourite residence!
Day 4 This morning there is a short sea crossing from
John O’Groats to St. Margaret’s Hope on the Orkney
Islands where a local coach and driver take you on a
guided tour. You will see Scapa Flow, the Churchill
Barriers, Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar and much
more. Return to the mainland in time for dinner this
evening.
Day 5 Leaving the hotel we retrace our route as
far as Inverness, before changing direction to take
a wonderfully scenic route onto the shores of Loch
Ness, past Urquhart Castle, with its countless sightings
of ‘Nessie’. We continue south as far as Fort William
before driving through the spectacular scenery of
Glencoe and down ‘Bonnie Strathyre’ to Stirling and
our final hotel.
Day 6 Our route lies south today, bypassing Glasgow
and crossing the English border at Gretna Green. From
there the motorways take us speedily back to the
midlands to arrive home by late afternoon.

wonderful 53-cabin floating ‘home from home,’ owned and operated by Captain Widow Arts, with a superb lounge bar, nightly entertainment and spacious sun deck. The majestic 4-star ms Serenity has 95 cabins on board, a spacious lounge bar, Lido Bar, terrace, sun deck and
regular entertainment. All cruises feature our ‘Door-to-Door’ service, with transportation provided to either your local coach joining point.
