Monarch hotel in Bridlington was very good. Very clean, with food well cooked and tasty. Craig our driver was relaxed and witty. The trips were excellent although York was a little too packed to enjoy. Half day to Beverley was a pleasant surprise as advertised as Minster visit. A lovely market town with shops to rival any city. On our return journey home we were taken to an old Mill, now converted into many outlet shops. Again unexpected and an pleasant surprise. All in all the weekend was excellent value for money and I hope that our next one booked for March will be equally enjoyable, although one reviewer here does not appear to have enjoyed the hotel experience so we shall have to wait and see and judge for ourselves. Paid for room with view but only partial, with many rooftops. Alfa kindly refunded extra paid, immediately. Thank you Alfa.
