Join us for a wonderful day trip on the scenic Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, plus a cruise along the River Dart. There is time for us to explore Dartmouth, where ancient narrow streets house boutique shops, galleries and delicatessens. The following day, we take a stroll to visit the quaint 15th-century village of Cockington with its manor house, forge and working craft studios.
This was the first holiday I spent with a Solos group and it wont be the last. I enjoyed the company, we all got on so well and the Tour Leader Sue was superb. Thank you Solos!
The holiday itinerary was good and I met some very nice people.

GratuitiesThere is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual.We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides and hotel staff (including restaurant, kitchen and reception staff) of approximately £5. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of bar staff and housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (the rounding up of the drinks bill and a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, restaurants expect a 10% gratuity (do check that service has not already been added to your bill). For taxis 10% of the metered fare.
Dress CodeThe dress code for during the day is casual. In the evenings the dress code is smart with gentlemen requested to wear a shirt and tie. Dress code for restaurant no jeans/no trainers. Comfortable shoes for walking and sightseeing are recommended. Remember your swimwear should you wish to take advantage of the hotel’s leisure facilities.
