About Us
Who We Are
Gold Crest Holidays is the dedicated holiday brand of Cawthorne's Travel Ltd — bringing you the same trusted service in a brand built for adventures.
Our Story
Built on 20+ Years of Trusted Travel
Gold Crest Holidays was created as the holiday arm of Cawthorne's Travel Ltd — a family-run coach company proudly based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Cawthorne's Travel was founded in 2016, and the Gold Crest name brings with it over 20 years' heritage in British coach holidays — a combination we're proud to build on across South Yorkshire and beyond.
We launched Gold Crest Holidays to bring something special to our passengers — fully organised, worry-free holidays with the same personal touch, friendly drivers and reliable coaches you've always known from us.
From the Scottish Highlands to the streets of Paris, every Gold Crest holiday is put together with care, covering transport, accommodation, excursions and more — so you truly can sit back and enjoy the ride.
What We Stand For
Every holiday we offer is shaped by the values that have guided Cawthorne's Travel since day one.

We're a family business. You speak to real people who genuinely care about making your holiday special.

Stress-Free Travel
We plan every detail — you just pack your bag and enjoy. No airports, no transfers, no complications.
