HOTEL RATINGS There are a confusing variety of organisations who grade hotels in the UK under a set of quality standards. Unfortunately, many hotels do not join the rating schemes, making it difficult to judge what the standard of the hotel may be. At Just Go! we are all about transparency and honesty in what we offer on our holidays. We therefore grade the hotels featured in our brochures based on our own experience, knowledge of the hotel and, more importantly, feedback from Just Go! customers. The relevant rating is shown next to each hotel’s name or description in the brochure. Further details of our hotel ratings system can be found at justgoholidays.com/hotelratings. Please note: these ratings only apply to our UK brochure holidays (some Short Breaks and Events have standard hotel ratings). In Ireland and the Channel Islands, we quote the hotel star rating based on the area’s rating system.

Wider choice of departure dates Not only does this offer you the chance to enjoy a wider selection of departure dates (especially convenient if any breaks don’t feature a pickup point local to you), but it is also ideal for those who prefer to drive themselves to the hotel and back. Coach excursions still included! A seat will still be reserved for you on the coach for all your excursions and we offer a discount of £25 per person off the cost of your holiday. Please be aware that our JG Premium tours are only available as a self-drive option so there are no additional discounts on the prices shown.

With elegant resort towns, spotless beaches, old-fashioned charm and miles of unspoilt coastline, the Isle of Wight is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing few days away.

INCLUDED EXCURSIONS Osborne House & Cowes (full day) We have the chance to explore Queen Victoria’s one-time residence on the island, Osborne House. Built as a holiday home and rural retreat in the late 1840s, the Italianate palace reflects Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s tastes and passions, and boasts spectacular views across the Solent. It is no wonder that Victoria herself once said, ‘it’s impossible to imagine a prettier spot.’ Here we take an intimate glimpse of royal family life as we wander through the magnificent Royal Apartments as well as the walled gardens and grounds where we find the charming Swiss Cottage, used by the royal children to learn household management. We then head to Cowes, a vibrant and sophisticated resort home to the world-famous regatta that swells the local population each August. Enjoy a stroll along the seafront, browse the boutique shops, or admire many of the town’s ornate buildings which date from Queen Victoria’s time, in the style popularised by Prince Albert. Isle of Wight Steam Railway & Ryde (full day) We journey back to a bygone era as we board the award-winning Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Havenstreet. Sit back and relax in beautifully restored Victorian and Edwardian carriages as we enjoy the rolling views of the glorious Isle of Wight countryside. We pass through quaint rural stations, quiet hamlets and ancient woodland on our journey to the seaside resort of Ryde. Afterwards we spend some time at leisure in Ryde with its long stretch of golden sand, pretty esplanade, marina and beautiful gardens. Take a stroll along the famous 19th-century pier, the oldest
in England, or admire the many boats moored in the town’s busy harbour.

The wildly beautiful coast of Scotland is scattered with hundreds of islands and inlets shaped by the ever-pounding sea and ever-changing weather. Sublimely secluded and totally unique, our tour to the untouched Outer Hebrides is a never-to-be-forgotten experience, as we take in some of the most spectacular scenery Scotland has to offer. Rich heritage and unique wildlife combine with the rugged coastline, stunning mountains and unspoilt islands to create an enchanting place like no other.
ITINERARY Day 1 Flight to Glasgow We fly to Glasgow airport and take a short walk to the Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport where we stay overnight on a bed and breakfast basis. Day 2 Isle of Skye & Isle of Benbecula Leaving the hotel, we travel north to the pretty port of Mallaig and get a first glimpse of what Skye has to offer as we board a ferry for the short trip across to Armadale on the Sleat Peninsula. We make our way across the Isle of Skye, admiring the stunning scenery and rugged landscapes to Uig where we catch the ferry to Lochmaddy enjoying a two-course meal on board. We continue on to our hotel on the Isle of Benbecula, our base for the next two nights. Day 3 Island hopping Today’s island hopping begins by taking the causeway across to South Uist, where the west coast is an unbroken sandy beach in contrast to the east which is dominated by mountainous peaks. We then continue on to Eriskay, famous for the Eriskay Ponies and also for being the real ‘Whisky Galore’ island. It was just off Eriskay, between Great Todday and Little Todday that the SS Politician ran aground in 1941 with 50,000 cases of whisky aboard. The locals managed to save several hundred cases before the ship sank, providing them with a good supply of their ‘Water of Life’. From here, enjoy the short ferry crossing to the Isle of Barra which is considered by many to be the most beautiful little island in Britain. Its tranquil beaches, distinctive culture, where Gaelic is widely spoken, and an ancient history make any visit to Barra a memorable one. If time allows we also venture across the causeway to stunning Vatersay, the most southerly inhabited island in the Outer Hebrides.

Day 4 Stornoway After a leisurely morning in Benbecula we collect a packed lunch and continue onward to North Uist, via the Benbecula causeway. North Uist is a relatively flat island covered with peat bogs, low hills and lochans. More than half the land is covered by water, making North Uist a birdwatchers’ paradise. We board the afternoon ferry for the one-hour crossing to Harris before travelling up the west coast past numerous unspoilt, white sandy beaches and some of the most breathtakingly beautiful scenery in the Western Isles. The final leg of today’s journey is to Lewis and our hotel in Stornoway where we stay for two nights.

Day 5 Isle of Lewis The Isle of Lewis is the most northerly island in the Hebrides with a history that goes back thousands of years and where ancient standing stones can be found everywhere. We make the short journey over to the west coast and visit Callanish, where stands an awesome collection of stone circles known as the Hebrides Stonehenge. Other sights on today’s excursion include the moorland interior where peat is still cut for fuel, traditional croft dwellings and Dun Carloway Broch, one of Scotland’s best preserved defensive structures dating back over 2,000 years.

As the former home of the well-known sisters, this is a wonderful chance to take in the very spot where Charlotte, Emily and Anne wrote Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey, three of the most celebrated novels of literary history. No trip to ‘God’s Own Country’ would be complete without a visit to York too, where we tick off the iconic sights on a guided walking tour and enjoy a special dinner cruise on the River Ouse.

Day 2 Brontë Parsonage Museum, Haworth & Piece Hall This morning we head to the picturesque hilltop village of Haworth, where the Brontë sisters spent much of their short but fruitful lives. We walk around the Parsonage, churchyard and village centre, discovering the context of the famous Brontë sisters’ lives and work. Our guided tour continues at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, their former home, which has been lovingly preserved and contains the largest collection of Brontë works in the world. Admire the fascinating manuscripts, letters and early editions and imagine Charlotte, Emily and Anne sitting at the dining room table, writing their famous novels and sharing ideas. Afterwards we enjoy free time in Haworth. The village, with its historic cobbled main street, offers tempting tea rooms, quirky gift and antique stores, old-fashioned sweet shops, charming restaurants and cosy pubs. Our last stop today is Piece Hall in picturesque Halifax. Tucked away within a spellbinding landscape of rippling hills and valleys, this Grade I listed architectural treasure is truly one of Yorkshire’s hidden gems. Being the only survivor of the great 18th-century northern cloth halls, it boasts a rich industrial heritage that embodies the
importance of the trade in hand woven textiles or ‘pieces’ of cloth. Day 3 York & Evening Dinner Cruise We make our way to lovely York for a fascinating guided walking tour. The city is steeped in history, from its founding by the Romans in 71AD to its wealth as a medieval wool trading centre and there is plenty of evidence of this fascinating past left to admire, from the Roman city walls to the surviving medieval streets known as the ‘Shambles’. Next, we enjoy a guided walking tour of the iconic York Minster, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in northern Europe and home to world-famous stained glass windows that have led to the Minster being described as ‘the Sistine Chapel of England’.

Our friendly staff will be on hand to help make a smooth and swift change over and to offer any assistance.

In some cases, on arrival in Dublin, we make a brief stop at Dublin airport to collect flight passengers booked on the same tour.

On the return day, you will be transferred from the overnight hotel in the Dublin area back to the airport. *Excludes Grand Tour of Ireland where transfers on arrival are direct to the Belfast hotel.

Frequently asked questions Why do I have to pay a single supplement?
It is standard practice in the hotel trade to charge for single occupancy of a room as the cost of providing heating, lighting and cleaning etc, is the same regardless of the number of people occupying it.
Will my pickup point change?
All available pickup points are shown for each tour. Please note however, that pickup points are dependent on Just Go! Holidays receiving minimum bookings from those locations. On occasions it may be necessary to move your requested pickup point after booking to ensure that your holiday can still operate. You will be notified of any change to your pickup with your final confirmation.
What time will my pickup be?
We will inform you of the exact pickup time from your town approximately one to two weeks before departure. As a general rule on UK holidays we depart early morning and arrive home late afternoon/early evening although some exceptions may apply.
Can I take my car?
Yes, on certain UK mainland tours. We will give you a discount of £25 per person and a seat will still be reserved for you on the coach for the excursions. Please note, discount does not apply to JG Premium tours.
Who is responsible for my luggage during my journey?
It is your responsibility to ensure your suitcase is on board the coach. Please make sure you see the driver place your luggage into the coach and, on the way home, carefully check you collect the correct luggage from the driver at your drop off point. We cannot accept responsibility for damaged or misplaced luggage or any personal items and, whilst we will assist you with the recovery of any lost suitcase, this will be upon receipt of the courier costs.
How much luggage can I take with me?
For holidays by coach, your luggage must be restricted to one medium-sized suitcase weighing no more than 18 kilograms (40 pounds); we cannot carry any additional luggage items. Also, we cannot accept responsibility at any time for your own personal hand luggage. For any holidays by air, the luggage allowance will vary between airlines and will be advised at the time of booking.
I have mobility issues – can I bring a walking aid?
You must advise us if anyone in your party has mobility issues – the minimum requirements are that you are able to climb the steps onto a coach unaided. Please read the tour itinerary carefully to make sure it is appropriate for your mobility level. Due to space limitations we can only accommodate a maximum of two walking aids on to each coach, either wheelchairs or walking frames so long as they are collapsible, therefore you must pre-book a space when you book your holiday and confirmation of this will be on our correspondence to you. Unfortunately we have to reserve the right not to carry any walking aids that are not pre-booked. We regret we cannot accept mobility scooters or motorised wheelchairs.
What do I do if I have special dietary needs?
Passengers are requested to inform us of any food allergies/requests at the time of booking and we will attempt to accommodate them, however special arrangements cannot be guaranteed. Passengers who are coeliac or follow a gluten-free diet are advised to contact the hotel before arrival to check if the diet is catered for. Some customers take their own bread for breakfasts. Customers with severe food allergies or dietary requirements are advised to make appropriate arrangements with the hotel prior to commencing their tour and speak to the hotel staff on arrival.
Why do I need insurance?
At Just Go! Holidays we are committed to ensuring you are taken care of every step of the way, from the day you book, through to the last day of your holiday. Occasionally passengers fall ill or have an accident whilst on holiday preventing them from travelling home with the coach or on the return flight or requiring medical care when on tour in the UK, Channel Islands or Ireland. This may impact you financially.
When do I need to pay the balance of my holiday?
The balance due dates (the period before the departure date on which your full balance normally becomes due) are: 8 weeks before departure for all UK mainland holidays, Events and Themed breaks by coach or 10 weeks before departure for all Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by coach. For UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by air, the balance is due with us no later than 10 weeks prior to travel. For bookings made after the balance due date; full payment is due at the time of booking. You can also make interim payments anytime between paying the deposit and the balance due date.
Railway excursions
Please note that journeys on certain railways may not always be steam hauled, even when pictured in this brochure as being so. Diesel locomotive trains are sometimes in use on certain journeys over which, regrettably, we have no control.
What do I do if I have a special request?
If you have any special requests, we will do our best to help but we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled, they are just a request. If your request is imperative to the enjoyment of your holiday, please inform one of the members of our reservations staff at the time of booking however, we cannot accept a booking on the basis of a request being guaranteed. General confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to our supplier is not confirmation that your request will be met. All special requests are subject to availability unless and until they are specifically confirmed by us in writing.
Will it always be the tour coach that collects me from my chosen pickup point?
Not always, sometimes we utilise smaller transfer vehicles to operate some pickups; these vehicles will transfer you to join the main tour coach. We do this in order to offer a wide range of pickup points and to keep overall journey times for the tour coach to a minimum. Please note: if you have booked front seats or any other guaranteed seats through our seat reservation service, these only apply once you join the main tour coach.
Are the excursions guaranteed to run on the day specified in this brochure? Our brochures and itineraries are put together sometimes over a year in advance therefore, unfortunately, things may change before the tour takes place and some excursions may be swapped from one day to another.
Do I need a passport?
All our Ireland and Channel Islands holidays are sold on the basis that you are a British Passport holder. It is your responsibility to ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of the tour return. On holidays by air within the UK you will also need a form of photo identification. You need to advise us if you are not travelling on a British passport for port security checks. In addition, any visa requirements are your responsibility.
What do I do if I’m not completely happy?
It is imperative that if you are unhappy about any aspect of your holiday, you raise the matter IMMEDIATELY with the coach driver, tour manager or accommodation provider. If you fail to do this and deny us the opportunity to rectify the matter at the time, we shall not accept any responsibility retrospectively. If the matter cannot be resolved immediately, it is a condition that you write to us, quoting your booking reference, with the details of your complaint so that we may commence an investigation.
Important Notice
All prices are correct at the time of this brochure going to print (December 2021). We reserve the right to change our prices from time to time.
