Steve Mills started the Yorkshire Rose business around 15 years ago, with a single coach, before later being joined by sons David & James. Yorkshire Rose started as a coach hire company working for other companies but after around five years, the father and son team decided that they would begin selling their own trips!

This venture started with a handful of trips and a couple of tours but they have gradually grown the business and now, 10 years later, it has increased to around 120 tours and hundreds of day excursions departing from local areas.

In December 2017, Yorkshire Rose celebrated a national award win with the fantastic news that they had been crowned ‘London Coach Breaks Operator of the Year’. The accolades for Yorkshire Rose don’t end there either – they are the only coach operator to ever operate a tour to the 5-star Savoy Hotel in London! Here at Yorkshire Rose Holidays, we like to keep things fresh with new and exciting destinations been added all the time as well as old favourites!

At Yorkshire Rose, all the excursions are included in the price for the Holidays. There are no hidden charges and NO optional extras! We offer a door to door pickup service on all our holidays 3 days and above (Subject to your area of course) which is included in the price of the holiday! We are proud to say that we are a small family run company offering a professional and friendly service. We are family run, family owned and family driven!

A trip too far

A day trip to Morton in Marsh & Stow On the Wold proved to be too far for a day trip, congestion on the motorway combined with lengthy sections of roadworks and speed restrictions meant a distance of approx 150 miles took over 5 hours, plus the 1 hour for pick-ups, it may be feasible in a 100 years when roadworks end but not now

Very bad customer service when complain ignore and block off social media page

I booked a trip to Harry Potter then realised could get a free carer after a month of lots of chasing and no replies or little communication was told waiting for Warner Bros studios to get back. I put a comment on their Facebook page to say had a lovely trip though air con and toilet was broken and had no break on the way down so over 3 hours on a boiling coach and that had issues with office staff not keeping updated to be blocked, seems regular if complain they block you as don't seem to deal with complaints well

Not professional at all! Blacklists customers for lodging complaints

I am 79 years old, my friend is 67 years old and both widows. I 2022 we booked places on the yorkshire rose remembererence big band weekend. Several weeks before departure yorkshire rose was informed that the big band scheduled for our entertainment was cancelled. However yorkshire rose chose not to tell us or offer any refund, so on the day of departure we were in total ignorance of any changes to the programme. We were told by the hotel management where the event should have taken place. Back home we complained and yorkshire rose upheld the complaint by giving us a £25 allowance to be used against the cost of another trip of our choosing. In 2023 we used the allowance as intended. In 2024 we visited Yorkshire rose to book another trip only to be told our booking could not be accepted, but there was no reason given. But I think we all know why! Since when has lodging a complaint resulted in a ban? Is this how consumer rights is supposed to work? Is this the actions of a professional businessman?

Not even worthy of one star

Not even worthy of one star, do not book a trip with this company. The owner is rude and ignorant and does not reply to justified complaints. In December 2021 we went on a mystery trip and spent 6 hours on a cold coach with no toilet for a shocking 3 hours in Windsor. It caused a great deal of stress for my family and elderly parents and not one iota of customer care from the so-called world famous Yorkshire Rose, truly shocking and clearly only interested in making money and not looking after customers who have paid money for a much looked forward to trip. DO NOT TRAVEL WITH THEM!!

Diabolical atrocious do not use!!!

Have only given one star because I can’t give none 3 of us Went on a day trip with the “world famous “ Yorkshire rose to Hatton shopping village on the 18th March 2024. What an absolute joke, we got there and 99% percent of things were closed, apparently it doesn’t open on Mondays the day we went, even had it been open there wasn’t enough to spend a whole day there We then got taken in to leamington spa which appeared a lovely place, but after getting off the coach going for something to eat it was time to come home again, Obviously the company don’t do due diligence before booking trips to places. I have wrote and complained, and messaged on Facebook when after 2 weeks I had no reply, to find my self blocked from the Facebook page. Been into the store on the market to see why my complaint was not answered to be met with “you never asked a question it was a rant!!” To add I ended my message with I look forward to hearing from you soon!! Does that not imply I was expecting a response?! All we expected was a sorry for the trip not being as advertised. None of the staff in the office were able grasp that a customer complaint however received should be acknowledged and responded to appropriately, instead of being arrogant and rude. I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. Looks like it’s the norm for any bad reviews or messages gets you blocked and banned. Not great customer service from a company whose boss likes singing his own praises!!

Poor customer service

The so called "world famous yorkshire rose" is very poor - they have forced me to lose £70 of a gift voucher because they can't park at meadowhall any more - is that really my fault? I know it can be used for holidays but I wanted to use it for day trips

Just returned from a five day holiday to Northern Ireland. Very well organised, we stayed at a beautiful hotel, Stormont Hotel. The coach driver was excellent, friendly, professional and made sure everything went to plan. Tours were great and just to say thank you to Yorkshire Rose Holidays for a fantastic holiday. We felt very well looked after from booking to dropping off at home. Excellent. Mick you are a great driver and tour guide. Thank you.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we thought we would have to cancel a weekend away in September. I emailed Yorkshire Rose and explained the circumstances and they immediately changed it for a later date they were very kind I cannot fault the service. Big thankyou to Jack and all the team at Yorkshire Rose. A professional honest trust worthy company. Thankyou

My wife and I went on a mystery…

My wife and I went on a mystery week-end recently our first destination was Birmingham Bull-Ring staying overnight in the Mercury hotel. We were concerned about the level of security within the building with security personell on all floors, although a modern hotel the carpeting in the corridors was strewn with food litter etc; also small children running and banging doors unaccompanied. I spoke with a Asian chap and he said he lived and had two rooms. My wife complained to reception about the noise and it did calm down. Then it occurred to us maybe we were sharing the hotel with asylum seekers? Are Yorkshire Rose aware of this? On the whole we enjoyed the weekend and will continue using your company, but we did have concerns about the aforesaid issue.

Amazing Trip For An Amazing Price

I bought a trip to Warner Bros Studio Tour in London for my wife and her sister through Yorkshire Rose Coaches. Included in the price was a hotel stay, tickets to the studio and a day in the centre of London. I was astonished at the price as it would have been easily £200 more per person to do the trip without them. My wife and sister-in-law had an amazing time. Thank you, Yorkshire Rose, for taking good care of them!

Just been on another reunion trip

Just been on another reunion trip. Went to Cambridge and Oxford for the weekend. The driver was really nice. The hotel was lovely and the evening meal was really nice. They had entertainment too which was ok. This is about the 3rd reunion we have been on. We have been using this company for day trips for years and no problems. David (the owner) always comes on the coaches on arrival and departure to talk to people which I think is a nice touch. Look forward to the next reunion

We have been on many day trips and holidays with these over the years. We have just come back from another really good reunion trip to Blackpool. Really enjoyed the weekend as usual. The coach was leaving Blackpool at 3oclock on the Sunday. We arrived at the coach park at 2.40 to find our coach had gone without us!! Infact the remaining last coach was also getting ready to go. Our coach had to turn round and come back and get us! If we had been 5 minutes later we would have been stuck in Blackpool until god knows when. I have tried to phone Dave or Katie about it last week but no one has phoned me back. I also have emailed them but no answer. Could do with a phone number been given out in case it happens again so people can phone them and not be stranded.

Moveable seats

I had booked 2 trips with them on the internet and both times booked the 2 seats behind the steps in the middle of the coach On both trips our seats had been moved to the other side of the coach If I wanted those seats I would have chosen them All they say is those are the seat numbers It is funny they have moved Will not be using them again if this is how they perform

Yorkshire rose boss calls for help.

A FRUSTRATED travel firm owner made the 350-mile round trip to London to protest for better protection for the industry - which gives billions to the UK’s annual economy.

Convoys of passengerless coaches arrived at London’s Parliament Square on Monday as firms from around the country held an impactful demonstration of the plight the travel industry faces - dubbed ‘Honk for Hope’.

Operators, such as David Mills’ Yorkshire Rose Holidays, based on Dodworth Road, are calling for a support package similar to the landmark £1.57bn bailout announced for theatres, museums, galleries and other arts and culture venues earlier this month.

The industry is not eligible to apply for that funding, and ministers have said it won’t be entitled to any special financial support.

At a time when they’d be fully booked with summer trips, many firms - who are often called upon in times of crisis, for services such as rail replacement - are instead facing huge financial difficulty with spiralling finance repayments on coaches and uncertainty over wages once the furlough scheme ends.

Some potentially risk losing their homes and businesses.

“We’re in a lucky position, we’ve done all right - but so many operators haven’t had a penny since March,” said David.

“They’re literally on their last legs. Nobody knows where to turn.

“It’s not just the coach industry. It’s the knock-on effects on theatres and other venues that rely on coaches coming in.

“We take trips to Birdwell Venue twice a day sometimes with four full coaches.

“We can’t survive without everybody else.

“We have a big presence locally and can support others in the area, and that’s why we got involved with this.”

The demonstration was said to have attracted around 500 coaches - although David said it looked ‘closer to 2,000’ - which lined up outside Parliament.

Police were called to warn the drivers who sounded their horns outside Westminster.

David said: “There was a 14-mile long queue. The first coach arrived at Parliament Square as I was coming off the M4.

“There were generations of families there - people in their 20s, their dads in their 40s and 50s and then their granddads, all with the same company.

“It was horrendous to see, some of them were in tears - they’re losing their houses and having to refinance their yards and coaches.

“Even we didn’t realise how big this could be, until this week.

“The problem is they’re splitting up Parliament for the summer. By the time they come back, there might be nothing left.”

Yorkshire Rose, which normally transports thousands of passengers a year, has seen around 200 customers since March.

Just before the lockdown came into force, David had seen his purchase of local firm Goodyear Coaches go through - at which point he said he had to furlough 14 staff members who he ‘hadn’t even met’.

David added: “We’re slowly getting back, and just about breaking even.

“But those losing money won’t make it back - you can’t send a coach out with 20 people on, because it’s not cost-effective.

“You can get on a plane now as long as you’re wearing a face mask. I’d argue most coaches have better air conditioning systems than planes.

“A lot of people want to start back up, but they can’t.”
