Hello there,

When I read this text:

Many of our coach breaks now include, within the price, accommodation with
private facilities, and this will be indicated on the coach break page. Other
coach breaks have a limited number of rooms with private facilities which,
subject to availability, can be reserved and guaranteed at the time of booking.

I wonder and I don't understand why do they put 'a' article before 'limited number of rooms'. We have already mentioned accommodations before, so by the time of writing the second sentence we probably talking about some specific rooms. Isn't it?

Alexander.

The sentence is correct.

They are talking about "other" coach breaks that have (only) a limited number of rooms with private facilities.

In English you need the indefinite article, here.
