SEEING BRITIAN MADE SIMPLE










Back to Main Page.
There is something that all potential visitors to Britain should know about.

HOMEMADE HOLIDAYS.

Run by the husband and wife team of Paul and Pauline Hulme, from their base in Cheshire, this
is more than just another tour company.

If was founded on the principle of "your ingredients, our recipe". Paul explains this philosophy
by pointing out that most visitors to the U.K. have a good idea of what they want from their trip,
(the ingredients), but putting them all together to make a memorable vacation (the recipe) can be
quite a difficult task.

Booking a standard bus tour is relatively simple. Just go into a travel shop and pick one of the
many pre -packaged trips on the shelves. This is fine if you just want to see the regular tourist
attractions, along with a bus full of other sightseers. It is those travellers who want to be
individuals, who want get away from the crowds and see Britain as it can be seen, who will find
that HOMEMADE HOLIDAYS provide a helpful service and a guiding hand before and during
their visit.

Before establishing HOMEMADE HOLIDAYS. Paul and Pauline travelled extensively
throughout Britain, from Scotland to Cornwall, speaking to anyone involved in catering for
visitors to the U.K. such as hoteliers, restaurateurs, travel agents etc. and asking them what their
clientele was looking for and what was expected of them. Most importantly they also asked the
visitors themselves what problems they had encountered on their trips and asked for their input
into the concept of HOMEMADE HOLIDAYS.

The problems ranged from the rigid regimes of "Cattle Truck Bus Tours inc" through
miscalculating travelling time and distance, when self-driving, to simply getting lost, due to
navigational errors.

Having heard all these tales of woe and misfortune, they put themselves into the visitors' shoes
and flew to the USA to encounter for themselves, at first hand the problems of a stranger in a
strange land. After battling through the minefield of which guide book or website to choose for
accommodation, car rental etc, the set off on their voyage of discovery.

Things such as driving on the "wrong" side of the road, were overcome. Finding hotels was a
question of trial and error, but it was only when they were assisted by the guiding hand of an
American friend that they discovered the best way to see the country. Having someone on the
ground to tell them what to do and where to go, (and where not to go), how to get the best deals
and to give them an insight in to the way of life, not only saved time and money, but it provided
the reassurance that they were getting the best that they could out of their visit.

Armed with all their experience and knowledge Paul & Pauline Hulme would now like to
welcome you to Britain.

HOMEMADE HOLIDAYS is there to ensure that you see Britain in just the way that you choose.
There are a number of methods by which the ingredients can be prepared. Paul & Pauline would
take great delight in personally sharing their love and knowledge of the country with you on an
accompanied Homemade Exploration Tour. Planned with you so that you get to see exactly what
you want to see and do what ever you want to do, in the comfort of their versatile touring
vehicle. This is ideal for those who have a special purpose in mind for their visit.

Alternatively, if you would prefer to drive yourself the Homemade Itinerary is for you. This
includes; accommodation bookings, car rental, route plans with travelling times, map, guide
books, personalised guidance notes, if fact anything which you can think of, and more
importantly those things which you may not think of, to take the risk of potential disaster out of
your trip.

Which ever option you choose you will receive a "Homemade Travel Pack" before you leave
home. One of the greatest problems that Paul & Pauline encountered before their trip to the U.S
was the lack of good guide books and maps which would enable them to pre-plan their visit.

So when they were in the States they turned the tables and went looking for guide books for
Britain. Try it! There is a bewildering selection of books, plenty about London, with very few
about the rest of the U.K. Planning your own tour under these circumstances can be very difficult,
if not impossible.

This is where the "Homemade Travel Pack" proves invaluable. You tell them of your intentions
and they will put together a Pack containing good quality detailed maps, from route planners to
large scale local maps, guide books for the relevant areas, special publications for any
particular interest, plus advice and noteworthy information regarding your visit. So that when
you arrive in Britain you can hit the ground running.

One of the most pleasant ingredients of any vacation is the planning and anticipation. Get off on a
firm footing and you are way ahead of the rest.

One particularly pleasing aspect of HOMEMADE HOLIDAYS is that you are never far from
assistance and advice. Just call with your problems. So if you are lost in the intricate network of
country lanes or cannot find a bed for the night, fear not, HOMEMADE HOLIDAYS to the
rescue!

This versatile and flexible approach is ideal for making any visits to Britain just want you want
it to be. Paul & Pauline Hulme want you to see their country in a way that will allow you to go
home satisfied, with good and lasting memories and want to return. Their personal and friendly
relationship with their customers goes a long way to making a consultation with HOMEMADE
HOLIDAYS essential for any visitor to Britain who wants to be more than "just another tourist".
