Travel Details

Getting There

A circular itinerary designed with ferry travel in mind, though equally suited to fly-drive.

Please bear in mind when planning your trip that hire cars must be returned to their country of origin. It is therefore convenient to fly into and back from airports within the same country. See your flight options in the table below:

PLEASE NOTE Flights are not included and some flights are seasonal.

Ferry: If you wish to bring your own car, classic car or motorbike we can include the ferry crossings as part of the package - see timetables below:


Flight Options

Choose your preferred UK airport and then select from possible destinations to see airline providers.

Getting Around

For passengers travelling by air we will include a hire car as part of the package. Normally we include a 4 door economy class car but please let us know if you would like something different.

For those coming on the ferry you will use your own vehicle but in either case we will provide full instructions to arrive at each hotel, complete with GPS, as well as a map of the area.
