Heathside Travel is an award-winning, family run company which was established in 2015. Our team have a wealth of experience providing coaches for corporate clients, private excursions and tours.

From our humble beginnings with just one 19 seat mini coach, we now have a small fleet of modern, luxury coaches from 19-55 seats. We also offer our own day trips and holidays, as a result of demand from our customers.

In November 2023 we won The Route One Award for Small Coach Operator of the Year 2023. This award is the highest praise we can get in our industry. Being the best small coach operator in the UK is a real honour and our staff work very hard to ensure we do everything the right way.

The guide and driver were both excellent in a way that made you think they had worked together for years. They kept us all entertained, and ably coped with anything thrown at them. The hotel was pleasant. All the trips we did were great fun. We hope to travel with you again soon.

My Friend and I have just returned from an amazing trip to the Dutch bulb fields, which was just so enjoyable, made even more so by your lovely driver Russ, and Caroline, who really do make your day with their banter, and their professionalism. I am very much looking forward to another trip next year hopefully. By the way, lovely new coach, so comfy and nice to have some leg room for a change! All in all thankyou for an amazing holiday

Heathside travel provided excellent service to take a large group on a day trip to Bombay Sapphire, which was well organised through the company. Coach was very comfortable and had a pleasant journey. Staff were friendly and informative both on the day and in the booking process. Would definitely consider Heathside Travel for other day trips and services.
