The UK coach holiday provider is investing £1 million in a winter refurbishment programme across ten of its hotels.
The refurbishments, which are taking place this winter ahead of the main 2026 season, will include improvements to 155 bedrooms, along with interior upgrades to entertainment, dining and lounge areas at some hotels.
Work is expected to take place from early January, during the hotels’ traditional closure period. The improvements will take place at hotels in locations including Weston-Super-Mare, Llandudno, Newquay, Torquay and the Isle of Wight.
Paul Harper, commercial director at Daish’s Holidays, said: “This significant investment demonstrates our unwavering commitment to ensuring every guest feels at home and enjoys the best possible Daish’s experience.
“In today’s competitive hospitality market, guests are looking for more than just a comfortable room. They want memorable moments, modern amenities, and a sense of care that makes their stay truly special. Our refurbishment programme is designed not only to enhance comfort but also to create those lasting memories that make guests returning year after year.
“Continued investment in our properties is essential to meet evolving guest expectations and to ensure our hotels remain at the forefront of the UK coach holiday sector. Our vision is to build a hotel collection that not only meets but improves guest expectations, blending our tradition of great value and warm, welcoming hospitality with contemporary touches that make every stay feel fresh and comfortable.”
