Good value, slightly large group✫ 4
Twenty-eight people is a lot for a small hill station. Everything ran on time and the stay was comfortable, but I'd pick a smaller departure next time.
Solid weekend break✫ 4
Good balance of activity and downtime. Rooms were basic but clean. The bonfire night was the highlight — everyone actually talked instead of staring at phones.
Good to know
Is this trip solo-friendly?
Yes — most people on our departures book solo. You'll be added to the group WhatsApp three days before departure, and the trip captain handles introductions on the bus.
What's the group size?
Departures are capped, and the exact number is on the booking page. Anything above 20 runs with two captains.
Can I get a refund if I cancel?
Refunds follow the cancellation policy shown on the departure — 90% up to 15 days before, 50% up to 7 days, nothing inside 72 hours.
