Meals were very good - quality and quantity excellent - served quickly and politely by i think mostly east european (lovely) staff. This trip is for people how... More

Being picked up at 7am in Oxfordshire, two further stops in Daventry and Rugby, 5 comfort stops on route made the 12 hr journey a long one. It was pleasant and informative thanks to Stevie our driver, but still long. The optional day trip (day 3) was declined due to the amount of coach travelling involved in the other days.... More

I just returned from a 5 day trip to Oban staying at Alexander Hotel - (Take note Northern Ireland travellers this is really a 3 day trip as there is 2 FULL days travelling to and from Oban). By the time you arrive at 8pm and eat at 9pm you really are not in the mood for another long coach... More

Just returned from a Highland Heritage 5-day tour to Oban - the weather was amazing given we are in March. This was a first for us so we didnt really know what to expect other than we thought we would be the 'youngest' on the trip - we were so wrong! Coach - fairly comfortable given we were picked up...

Stayed here for 1 night in august 2011. 1 night was long enough...or too long! It's old, dated, run down, smells like a hospital. The general clientele is over 60, and the staff are incredibly rude and unhelpful. Our room was small, cramped with one tiny window with a view over the car park. We asked to move to a... More

Visited the Alexandra and enjoyed every moment of my stay. From Brian (the manager) ,Ruth, the hotel staff and the drivers everything was superb. Nothing is to much trouble for the staff and you are always greeted with a smile. When you have been on holiday with Highland Heritage for many years it feels like you are going home. As... More
