Cedar Court Hotels Launches New & Improved Tour Charter as Coach Tourism Booms Across Yorkshire

Yorkshire, UK – 30th May 2025 – With the UK’s coach tourism industry now valued at over £14 billion annually and Yorkshire standing tall as one of the country’s most popular destinations, Cedar Court Hotels has launched a new and improved Tour Charter, crafted specifically for coach operators and group travel organisers.

With properties in three of Yorkshire’s most iconic locations – Harrogate, Bradford, and Huddersfield – Cedar Court’s latest offering streamlines the group booking experience while delivering the warm, authentic welcome the hotel group proudly calls Proper Yorkshire Hospitality.

A Sector That Drives Business – and the Region

Coach tourism remains a cornerstone of Cedar Court Hotels’ operations, with over 5,000 group travellers welcomed in 2024 alone. Many guests use Cedar Court as a base while visiting local attractions including RHS Garden Harlow Carr, The Piece Hall, Salts Mill, the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and the Yorkshire Dales and Peak District National Parks.

“This sector is incredibly important to us,” says Nick Laing, Director of Sales at Cedar Court Hotels. “We’ve built long-standing relationships with tour operators and coach companies across the UK. The new Tour Charter is a reflection of that trust – it’s about delivering even more value, consistency, and genuine care. We understand what group organisers need: ease of booking, clarity, and peace of mind – and that’s exactly what this delivers.”

Over £3 Million Invested to Raise the Bar

Cedar Court Hotels has also undergone a multi-million-pound refurbishment programme over the last three years, ensuring returning guests experience a fresh take on familiar favourites:

  • Harrogate: Stunning upgrades including the stylish launch of Amber’s Restaurant, enhanced accessible bathrooms, and refreshed public spaces
  • Bradford: Full bedroom refurbishment, revitalised public areas, and the launch of Stanley’s Restaurant
  • Huddersfield: A top-to-bottom refresh of the lobby, bar, restaurant, and newly refurbished guest rooms

These transformations are designed with groups in mind-elevating comfort, aesthetics, and accessibility while retaining that down-to-earth Yorkshire charm.

What’s Included in the Tour Charter

Available to coach groups of 20 or more, the Tour Charter includes:

  • Tea & Coffee on Arrival – A warm Yorkshire welcome from the moment guests arrive
  • Express Check-In – Greeted by a hotel representative, ensuring minimal fuss
  • Porterage – One bag per guest, handled with care
  • Free On-Site Coach Parking – Convenient and secure
  • One Free Place Per 20 Guests – Stretching your group budget
  • Driver Upgrades – A comfortable, well-earned reward for those behind the wheel*
  • Standardised Group Terms – Simple, consistent, and stress-free

Group Dining Done Properly

Dining with Cedar Court is more than a necessity-it’s part of the experience. Each guest enjoys a three-course evening meal with three choices per course, a daily selection of fresh vegetables, and tea and coffee. A Yorkshire-themed menu and glass of wine add a local touch on one evening of multi-night stays.

“Let’s be honest,” laughs ‘Auntie Jane’, Cedar Court’s much-loved Groups & Tours Manager, “it’s the little things that matter. A decent cuppa when you arrive, proper grub at dinner, and someone who remembers your name – that’s what makes a trip special. We’re not just putting heads in beds – we’re making memories. And I’ll make sure your lot are well looked after, just like family.”

A Consistent, Reliable Experience – Wherever You Stay

Whether it’s a floral tour in Harrogate, a cultural deep-dive in Bradford, or a scenic escape to Huddersfield, Cedar Court ensures a seamless experience across its hotels-so organisers can book with total confidence.

“We’ve taken everything we know about group travel – the practical needs, the quirks, the little extras that make all the difference – and wrapped it into a consistent offering across our hotels,” adds Laing. “It’s not just a package; it’s a promise.”
