If you've already toured the UK Scotland but haven't toured Southwest England you could be missing out.
This trip was very disappointing. One hotel was a 3 star. The others were at best a 2 star. I have stayed in hostels that were newer and cleaner. It was extremely overpriced. Only one of the add on excursions was worth the price. (Clovelly) Unfortunately I was not able to view others reviews on this trip or I would have never booked it. They always show other trips reviews on their website.
