Grand UK Holidays

From early 2007 the Royal Blind Society joined forces with Grand UK Holidays to provide visually impaired people with a greater choice of safe, comfortable and stress-free holidays in popular locations. The hotels have been selected as they offer exceptional value for money.

The seven hotel locations are;
  • The Isle of Wight
  • Newquay Skegness
  • The Lake District
  • Blackpool
  • Bridlington
  • Scotland

The holidays include meals as mentioned below, entertainment and often an excursion. Additional benefits are;

  • The services of a tour manager and experienced drivers throughout the holiday
  • Free travel insurance
  • No single-room supplements
  • Local pick-up points from many parts of the country – or a self-drive option if you prefer
  • Luggage handling from pick-up point to your hotel bedroom
  • Personalised booking and information service through our Leisure Services office, 01827 722574
