A Reassuringly easy, comfortable full on experience.
Apart from a minor administrative hiccup with the logging on details ( no email address given) everything was straightforward. From the moment we met Beverly everyone went into immediate relaxation mode. She took control and breezed us through every experience. She made us feel assured and protected. We felt she went above and beyond to help and to keep us informed. She shared her extensive knowledge of not only the experiences but of the area it's history and it's customs but lots of tips that guided us from being caught out, like the better places for currency exchange. All the transfers were on time, safe clean and comfortable. Beverlys added interesting commentary of local interest as we traveled made every journey a treat.
The hotel was perfect in everyday. Rooms were compact but clean with all essentials catered for. We very much enjoyed the trip and would, and have, recommend Newmarket to others.

Fantastic guide
The booking process was very straightforward although it wasn’t always easy to find the details of the holiday once booked.
The holiday was excellent. Hotel was in a great position and all the tours were really well organised with excellent guides.
Our guide Bev was considerate, informative, helpful, funny and efficient. She made the holiday really.

The booking I made was.good...but
The booking I.made was.good
Agent was helpful
My main reason for 4 star rather than 5 is the single supplement charge, which was nearly £300 and this just gets me a smaller single room
The single supplement should make up for the other half cost of the double room. But aparently, it does not. Most hotels sell rooms at a room rate. Disappointing but hoping the trip will be good.

Dear Marilyn,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that your booking went smoothly and that our agent was helpful.
We completely understand your disappointment regarding the single supplement, especially when the charge was close to £300 while you’re allocated a smaller single room. We appreciate you taking the time to explain your expectations, and we’ll certainly pass your comments on to the relevant team.
We hope you have a fantastic trip and that the experience itself exceeds your expectations. Enjoy your travels!

A great trip to Belfast with Newmarket and guide Tony
A great trip to Belfast with Newmarket. Appreciated the prompt and helpful assistance when our flight was cancelled at short notice. Tony, our tour manager and guide was great. From his reassuring welcome text confirming numbers and giving transfer instructions, his texts and very reassuring phone call regarding our changed travel arrangements and advice on obtaining a taxi to our hotel to his friendliness, efficiency, incredible knowledge, story telling and jokes and recommendations. He packed as much as possible into our tours and at each pick up would run ahead of the coach to gather everyone before the coach arrived. A great asset to the company ably assisted by coach driver Martin.

Patience was excellent.
Patience was polite, thorough and very helpful. she made up for the fact that Newmarket had not provided any checkin details wiyth their info pack. also the vueling website wpould not log me in even though I had enterted the booking ref number correctly. Patience actually booked us on to out and return flight herself and emailed the documents to us.
this is our second holiday with Newmarket. 1st flight also failed to brovide adequate check ion details. This is an area the company needs to get a grip on. Bujt Patience. excellent.

Dear Jeremy,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re especially pleased to hear that Patience was so polite, thorough and helpful. It’s wonderful to know she stepped in, arranged your outbound and return flights, and made sure you received the necessary documents.
We’re sorry, however, that you were left without clear check-in information and then had difficulty accessing the Vueling website. We understand how frustrating that must have been, particularly as you experienced a similar issue on your first Newmarket holiday. Your comments are valuable, and we’ll make sure this feedback is highlighted to the relevant team.
Thank you for choosing Newmarket again, and please pass on our thanks to Patience for her excellent service. We hope you have a fantastic holiday!

We really enjoyed it from start to finish. The booking process was easy. Everything was really well organised. We were always collected on time and reached each destination on schedule. Our hotel was in a perfect location and was well above what we expected. Tony was a great informative guide and blended just the right mixture of historical facts with amusing stories. He made lots of helpful suggestions about where we could go in our free time. Our cheerful driver made us feel safe even on some of the more twisty, rural roads.
