A&K launches first UK and Ireland holidays
Luxury operator A&K has followed rival Kuoni in launching a selection of UK holidays for British holidaymakers as international travel stalls due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Its new range of tailormade self-guided trips also include Ireland.
Accommodation ranges from iconic hotels such as Gleneagles in Scotland to English stately homes such as Beaverbrook.
Managing director Kerry Golds said: "We’ve been keen to develop a suite of UK and Ireland itineraries tailored to our UK clientele for quite a while, and decided now was the right time.
"The breadth and depth of these islands is truly remarkable and right on our doorstep. Many people might think that they can simply do these trips themselves.. but can they do them the A&K way?"
Flexible terms have been introduced so clients who book before September 30 can postpone their trip any time up to 35 days before departure for travel up to December 31, 2021.
