I'm trying to find a suitable holiday for me and my mum (92). She's pretty mobile and (touch wood) in reasonably good health, though has failing eyesight. Any other suggestions would be welcome. I thought of a coach holiday because I can't drive. (We've been to Sinah Warren, Hayling Island, in the past. Unfortunately the weather was awful and Hayling Island is quite limited in terms of things to do.)

Haven't tried it myself, but a friend with the same interests as me recently went to the Warner hotel at Cricket St Thomas and had a wonderful time. She went with a group of women of about our age (mid-60's) and they all found something to suit them, active, artistic,yogic, you name it there seems to be something for everyone. Also, there are lovely grounds. Hope this helps and you both find the right holiday.

dahlia. Thank you very much for your response - this has helped enormously.

Cricket is lovely setting and the best entertainment at any of the warmers we've visited. But there is not much in the area if you don't drive.
I would suggest Corton as there is a bus service into Lowestoft and coach trip to G. Yarmouth.

Ninathenana. Thanks for your input. Corton wouldn't really fit the bill as my mum lives in that part of the world. I noticed that Cricket is a bit out of the way but I was looking at a coach holiday going there, and that includes two excursions. I appreciate you taking the trouble to reply though.
