Award-winning coach tour operator Brightwater Holidays (www.brightwaterholidays.com, 01334766062) has its biggest range of trips under £750pp on offer, which have now been rounded up in a category page on its website. 

During a recent customer survey, just over half of all previous Brightwater Holidays guests polled said their budgets remained unchanged since the pandemic began and would be willing to spend between £500 and £1,000 on their next holiday with the company.

This new category should help potential guests decide which holiday is right for them and the choice is broad. Among Brightwater's most affordable holidays are some of its best-selling Scottish offerings, such as the ever-popular Grand Tour of the Outer Hebrides. For steam train enthusiasts, there are Scenic Railways of North Wales, Scenic Scottish Railways, Caledonian Days, Steam Trains of Yorkshire and the Classic Scottish Steam Break tours to choose between. Elsewhere in the UK, guests can enjoy Brightwater's flagship Highgrove & the Cotswolds itinerary, Literary Trails of the South Coast and Lundy & Scenic Journeys of the West Country. 

Guests can also head overseas on a number of tours that visit the Floriade Expo 2022, a horticultural highlight in the Netherlands that takes place just once each decade, and there are also two exciting RHS Chelsea Flower Show tours available from just £695pp. 

Previous travellers also expressed interest in more regional pick-up points, and many of Brightwater's holidays – including those under £750 – now have local departures available.
