Coach holidays that don't cost the earth
Certified 100% Carbon Neutral
At Leisuretime, we pride ourselves on providing unbeatable value for money. As you know, ‘value for money’ does not mean ‘cheap’. If we believe that using a cheaper supplier would compromise the quality of your holiday experience, we will not use that supplier. Our aim is to provide you with an unbeatable value for money package in which we have confidence that, on a like-for-like basis, you will not be able to buy better.
We do not generally discount our short breaks and holidays as they are already priced to offer exceptional value. Occasionally, though, we will run special offers and promotions that might reduce the price advertised by a small amount. Any such offers are only made for a limited time and are available to book either on-line, by phone or through any of our partner travel agents.
Whilst we do run a limited number of special offers, our pricing policy ensures that nobody who has booked to travel on the same tour will have paid significantly more or less than anybody else. The only exceptions are likely to be those customers transferring from other tours or our frequent travellers, who have access to additional loyalty discounts.
For us to be able to plan and make commitments to our suppliers, we usually ask for a modest deposit of £35 per person when you book. Despite the marketing of some operators, this is amongst the lowest deposits offered by any UK coach tour operator.
There is then nothing more to pay until 6 weeks before you travel. If you have to cancel your holiday with us before then, there is nothing else to pay.
There are some specific tours where a deposit higher than £35 will be requested. These tours generally include entrance or event tickets that require an additional holding deposit. In all cases we will clearly display any additional deposit requirements on our website.
It goes without saying that Blackpool in January is a quite different experience to Blackpool in August or during the world-famous Illuminations. That is why our prices can vary depending on when you are travelling with us. The same goes for our inclusions, some of which are only available during certain periods. You can see the prices and associated inclusions for all our short breaks on holidays on our website, including any seasonal variations in pricing.
When you travel with Leisuretime we do not want your wallet to get any nasty surprises - and that is why we include all your entrances and excursions within your holiday price. We just don’t believe in offering optional excursions. If we think your holiday experience will be made better by including an excursion and/or entrance charge, then we’ll include it as standard.
Of course, if you’re independently minded or just change your mind and find something else to do on the day, there is no obligation to travel on any of the excursions you include. Participation is strongly recommended – but it is never obligatory... it’s your holiday, after all.
If you’re curious about any aspect of our pricing policy, then please give us a call and speak to one of our friendly team who will be pleased to help.
We are happy to welcome children onto our family breaks but do not recommend any of our other trips suitable for children aged 6 years or under. If travelling on one of our family breaks with a younger child, please check our child seat and seat belt requirements here or give us a call to make sure you’ll fully enjoy your holiday with us.
Any children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult, parent or guardian.
Single rooms generally cost hotels more to operate than a rooms of multiple occupancy. This is why many hotels charge a ‘supplement’ for rooms for sole occupancy. We try to contract as many rooms as we can for sole use at no supplement, but as you will imagine, demand almost always outstrips supply. We will endeavour to keep sole occupancy supplements as low as possible wherever possible. If you prefer your own rooms or are a solo traveller, then you’ll already know that early booking is essential. You could also look out for our dedicated solo traveller holidays although they’re most likely to take place in the quieter months when hotels have more space.
We love groups, so naturally we are amongst the most generous in the industry with up to 4 Free Places for group organiser. Not only that, but your group funds will also be financially protected, you’ll get access to the Leisuretime Cash-Back®, and your trip will be certified 100% sustainable.
