Alexandra helped us plan our trip from start to finish, listening to the type of trip we wanted, helping with trains/flights/inns, making recommendations. Very detail oriented and lovely to deal with.
Alexandra was also extremely responsive in a very timely fashion, without exception.

Hotel Reviews
The Grafton Arms Pub & Rooms
London

We only stayed one night. Hostess was fabulous in that she checked us right in, which allowed us to take a much needed nap after flying through the night. The room was clean, well appointed. Only issue is that building is very old with steep stairs and any older person with ortho issues may not find it feasible. Notably, the hostess lugged my 35 lb suitcase up the stairs like it was a pillow.

this inn is wonderful. the breakfast was delicious. the room was spacious, lovely, view of castle and roof tops. I would not want to stay in this room in warm weather as it is on 3rd floor and no A/C. The gulls were loud on the roof tops and their screams were actually welcome. the area was so beautiful, we wanted to get up early and get going. old building with steep stairs not good for anyone with joint issues. the staff was lovely, friendly, helpful. the restaurant (chapel area for breakfast) amazing with organ, lovely wood, everything just beautiful. very convenient to train station.

Lovely inn. Great breakfast A bit on the periphery of Bath Center but as a result, very quiet. Adrian, host, was very helpful and gave suggestions including walking tour which was fabulous. Room was basic. Overlooked back which was really no view at all. Room was clean and comfortable, we heard owls.

Minster Walk Guest House
York

Location was great. Walkable to pretty much everything-- Cathedral, Shambles, Jorvik museum, gardens. The living area was very old and comfortable The pub next door was great and friendly. The staff/host also very kindly and friendly. Breakfast was good. My only issue was the tight quarters of our room. The room was clean, old, bed very comfy...just a bit tight and difficult to move around. would I take a bigger room and give up the location? No.

this tour was very nice the tour guide very knowledgable lovely views my only suggestion is that the driving be decreased and the tour stops longer than 20 minutes. I would have loved to spend more time in Grassington. I could have done without the Wallace and Grommet cheese place
