Kirker's Hotel of the Month: Villa Real, Madrid
One of our favourite cities, Madrid offers an authentic Spanish experience which is perfect for those who enjoy a relaxing short break in a stylish location.

There is no better place for a long lunch at one of our recommended restaurants, with delicious tapas and a glass of fino, before a stroll through the Plaza Mayor, one of Europe’s most beautiful squares and, perhaps, a visit to the charming Sorolla Museum to see their unique collection of the artist’s work in the house that was once his private home.

Enjoying a wonderful location overlooking the Plaza de las Cortes, the Villa Real is opposite the Spanish Parliament and the Thyssen, with the Prado and the Reina Sofia museums within walking distance.

The hotel has a chic, intimate air, with charming and efficient service and 115 traditional and elegant rooms. There is a stylish bar and restaurant with an al fresco terrace, and this summer sees the opening of a new rooftop bar and plunge pool.

We hope it doesn't got to penalties but just in case our friends British Airways have it covered!

23/06/2021

We can’t be there in person today but are proud to be virtually supporting all our friends & colleagues from the Travel Industry to support the “Travel Day of Action” at Westminster and across the country.

Not only travel agents but tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, airports, crew and everyone else that makes the travel industry what it is.

We are asking for the restart of safe international travel , for the government to be transparent with their decisions and provide proper industry support to the Travel Industry.

Travel always seems to be first in to a crisis and last out.

We thank all our clients for their ongoing support.

07/06/2021

Updated Opening Hours ⏰
Due to the latest and rather unexpected changes from the Government regarding travel we have taken the decision to revert to working from home for the month of June.
Should you wish to visit the office, this is possible but by advance appointment only. We would absolutely love to see you in person so please do get in touch if you would like to visit.
Phone lines will be open Monday to Friday from 10am until 2pm.

Something a little different - UK voyages available this summer on this gorgeous ship - contact us for more details.

This afternoon has seen the announcement of the "green list" for leisure travel to resume from 17 May. There are 12 countries and territories on the list - a number of which do not have direct flights and others whose borders remain closed (Australia & New Zealand). We now need to wait and see what the other countries on the list determine as the required entry criteria - a green listing does not necessarily mean we are immediately welcome. The table below gives details of what is required to return to the UK from each list. We will keep you posted but the likely options for travel soon are Portugal, Gibraltar, Israel and Iceland. Please get in touch if you have any questions. The next list update is expected around 7 June and a review of the requirements in the table is expected on 28 June. The green listed countries applies to travel from England only.

12/04/2021

You may be expecting to see our doors open today as non essential retail is permitted to reopen. We have decided to remain open by phone & video call for another few weeks until we have some further clarity and hopefully a list of countries that are open and welcoming UK visitors and on the "green list " so we can help you plan this year's trips with confidence. We are very much available by phone 10 - 2 Mon - Fri and video call by appointment to suit you. Thornbury 01454 634070 - we are looking forward to reopening the office and will update you on a date for this as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support - Team C The World.
