As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, we have unfortunately taken the decision to cancel our holidays up to the 09 May 2020. If you have a holiday booked in the next month we will be in touch soon to discuss the options available.
Financial peace of mind
At a time like this, you may be rightly worried about booking a holiday with any travel company. I would like to reassure you of the financial position of Lochs and Glens Holidays.
We keep all the money that you have paid us for holidays that are yet to depart ringfenced.
We don’t treat your money like it’s ours until your holiday has departed. This is very unusual in the holiday industry but it’s the prudent thing to do.
We have a bond with the Bonded Coach Holidays that protects all the money that you pay us.
Even if something happened to us, the bond will refund any holiday money that you have paid.
You can check our membership here: http://www.bch-uk.org
We own all our hotels and our coaches outright.
Often, hotels and coaches that appear to be owned by a holiday company are leased.
We have no external debt at all.
Again, this is unusual but it’s the prudent way to operate the business. The only thing that is leased in the company is our laundry equipment and that’s only because commercial washing machines need a lot of servicing.
We have never had external investors or external shareholders.
We don’t have anyone trying to make us pay out dividends or repay loans.
For 41 years Lochs and Glens Holidays has been run as a family business with old fashioned financial values: Don’t spend what you don’t have. Always save up for a rainy day.
Never in peacetime has something so unexpected happen as is unfolding now. Our prudent approach ensures that once life starts to return to normal, we will be in a strong position to continue with our holidays to some of the world’s finest scenery.
In the meantime, please stay safe.

The hotel, management, accommodation, food and staff were all excellent and made our short break with you one to remember. We will certainly be looking to book another one in the future.
I have never been on this kind of holiday before and was a fair bit younger than the rest of the clientele. It was an understatement to say I was apprehensive. In the event however I was pleasantly surprised. We had a very good journey in a comfortable bus. The room and bathroom were warm and comfortable, as was the whole hotel. The food was much better than I had expected given the overall cost of the holiday. There was a good choice for every course, the food was hot, tasty and served on hot plates by friendly staff. I would recommend both the tours and this Hotel with no hesitation.
Excursions excellent and list of day’s visits issued each morning. Very good commentaries by drivers as we travelled through really beautiful scenery. Hotel grounds lovely – wild orchids by Loch, red squirrels in woods, ducks, and fellow guests also saw deer. Got back yesterday and this morning booked another trip for later this year as we enjoyed this holiday so much.
