Accommodation

Pousada Viana do Castelo
JG4 rating

Our first pousada boasts one of Portugal’s best views, looking out over the waterfront city of Viana do Castelo, the Lima River, the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding mountainous landscape, with the nearby basilica dominating the skyline. Located atop the Monte de Santa Luzia and designed by architect Miguel Ventura Terra, its retained stately features beautifully combine with modern facilities. The panoramas from the outdoor swimming pool are stunning, and there is also a billiards room, welcoming bar and restaurant, luxurious spa (treatments are available at an extra cost), lovely verandas and spacious bedrooms with free Wi-Fi.

ConĂ­mbriga Hotel do Paco, Condeixa a Nova
JG4 rating

Nestled near the ruins of Conímbriga, the foundation of this historic hotel dates back to the 14th century and has provided a place of rest to past kings and members of European nobility. While the main building was largely destroyed during the French Revolution, it was built back up in the early 1900s and boasts a classical décor. You can expect a garden, outdoor swimming pool, calming spa with an indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi (treatments are available at an extra cost) and relaxing bedrooms with a flat-screen TV, minibar and complimentary toiletries. Although this property is no longer officially part of the pousada group, it is still a must-stay and in keeping with the theme of the tour.

Pousada Castelo de Alcácer do Sal
JG4 rating

Housed in a medieval castle that once was nearly impenetrable with over 30 25-metre towers, our last pousada is situated in the pretty town of Alcácer do Sal, with peaceful views of the Sado River. After busy days of sightseeing, the elegant bedrooms offer a wonderful space to unwind, complete with a TV and free Wi-Fi, while other facilities include a restaurant, bar, cloister terrace and outdoor swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers and surrounded by gardens. The pousada is also home to the Archaeological Crypt, a fascinating underground museum which documents 27 centuries of local history.

Just come back from Liverpool, our driver, Gareth, was lovely, he looked after us, was an excellent driver and nothing was a bother. The coach was very clean and comfortable. My first time with the company and would recommend. Have requested brochures for next trip.

31-May-2024

Just returned from a 5day break to Weson super Mare, Bath & surrounding area, with my partner. The driver Martin was very professional, and a credit to your company. The hotel was a bit dated but could be overlooked by the quality of the home made food, it was fantastic & enough for the best of appetites. The staff & entertainment were also amazing. An excellent fun filled break.

Returned on Friday evening from...

27-Oct-2024

Returned on Friday evening from Scotland's Beautiful Banffshire. Good holiday, great value for money, but marred by some issues. 5-25am pick up from Chester, then huge detour to Preston because the feeder coach driver didn't know the route! 3 hours late leaving Preston, didn't arrive at hotel in Peterhead until 19-35. Straight in for our evening meal. Hotel very good, helpful and friendly, but too cramped at long tables for meals. Food always hot and tasty, rooms clean, comfy and warm. Bit of a hike to reach our lodge. Enjoyable excursions with our driver Martin, but unaware that onboard toilet only to be used when stationary. What's the point of having the toilet? Made some journeys very uncomfortable. Would think twice about booking again.

Skipton and Emmerdale tour,terrible experience...

08-Oct-2024

Skipton and Emmerdale tour,terrible experience from start to finish, spent more time on the coach than the actual places we were visiting, hotel Mercure in Bradford looked liked like a derelict building although the bedroom was clean, the food was cheap and bland and the vegetarian option was disgusting, it was like feeding time at the zoo.We were given no details about anything from the coach driver about times we were been picked up for Emmerdale. The Emmerdale tour was rushed with no time to eat or drink, the tour guide Rob was nice and informative but while people were taking photos he had moved on to another area so a lot of people missed what he was saying. My main gripe with this company was my husband was poorly a few days before we were due to go so I rang them and spoke to a very rude customer service lady to see if we could cancel or change to another holiday and was told no, we could not have a refund and was told to go on my own or find someone else to go with ( therefore leaving my husband on his own at home) disgusting. The only good part was the gentleman who drove us on the feeder coach, he was very kind and helpful. Never will I book with them again.

I am very disappointed with...

14-Feb-2024

I am very disappointed with my coach trip I paid £70 supplement for being single and I paid for a sea view when I arrived the room was small the bed was dirty the Seaview was a small square window and the view was a roof I asked to be changed was given a twin room with a seaview which was ok. The room was very dated the toilet flush didn’t flush there was enough Pugh milk to make one cup of tea and the sugar sachets had been there so long the sugar had gone hard. The dinner food was stone cold the salad lettuce was limp to say the least the food was atrocious so I decided to dine out. The breakfast I found eggs and toast which was edible. I have no idea why I paid an extra £70 the experience was awful. I will never go on another coach tour with just go holidays as they clearly do not checkout the hotels they allocate. Shame on you just go holidays I was appalled

We have recently come back...

02-Feb-2024

We have recently come back from a short stay at warners nornton grange isle of white which was booked through just go holidays. After quite a long conversation with a very rude customer service chap called Simon at just go holidays who more or less told me that I shouldn’t complain about anything as we booked in January and what do you expect to get and if you don’t make sure that what you should have in your room is there and don’t tell the reception don’t complain about it. I’m very upset and feel that Simon thought that I was not worth talking to. On the whole don’t bother to pay extra for an upgraded room because others that didn’t pay will get the same room with the same two bottles of water two packs of crisps two packs of biscuits and two soft drinks without paying an extra £70 and if you don’t get what you think you should get please do not bother to ring customer service they are not interested in helping you

Really disappointing with this company...

26-Apr-2024

Really disappointing with this company Just Go Holidays as my mum cannot take her overnight trip due to being critical in hospital. The company are not being very helpful, no refund, zero flexibility, will not change dates or pick up location for someone else to take the trip in her place. No compassion whatsoever but good enough to take an elderly vulnerable persons money 😡 should be ashamed and I find this inhumane behaviour!

Went on a coach tour...

16-Jul-2024

Went on a coach tour of Isle of Wight. Coach was a nightmare with broken seats and broken air conditioning. The lack of air conditioning combined with the fact the coach had no opening windows meant that a great number of the people who booked the optional tour of the island didn’t actually take the trip. The information from the driver /tour representative was non existent. Definitely never doing a coach trip from this company again.
