The largest, Family Run, Employee Owned Coach Company in the UK.
Based in Chorley, Lancashire.

Many of their own hotels (Alfa Hotels), with no Single Supplement, and other destinations around the UK & Ireland.

I have used Alfa 30 times in 25 years, since July 2004, with more planned.

When planning holidays you need to consider the Excursions and Free Day options, as well as what there is to do in the event of bad weather.

In January 2026 Alfa Travel became Alfa Holidays and Leisureplex became Alfa Hotels
