I'm Passionate About Travel using expert knowledge and personal service creating your perfect holiday

As your Personal Travel Agent, running my own independent travel business in partnership with Your Co-op, you will find that I'm refreshingly different from most other travel agents you’ll find on the high street, on the web, or at the other end of the phone. I take the time to get to know you and the kind of holiday you’re looking for and I take a personal interest in your holiday from start to finish. This really makes a big difference, as I will ensure you receive the very best value for money and be on hand to help you with any detail relating to your travel requirements and plans. There really is no restriction on the kind of holiday, travel or leisure experience I can arrange for you. From a short break in the UK to a round-the-world cruise; whether you’re looking for an all-inclusive holiday, a touch of luxury or a cheap last-minute getaway, the only contact you need is me.

⛪ FROM SUNDAY SERVICE TO ROOM SERVICE!

Now here's a hotel with a story to tell!

In the heart of Los Angeles, a historic church dating back to 1931 has been given an incredible new lease of life.

Introducing Hotel Lucile, a boutique hotel in the trendy Silver Lake neighbourhood.
Instead of church pews, you'll now find 25 beautifully designed guest rooms, contemporary interiors and spaces that celebrate the building's original character.

There's even a restaurant, bar and café!
It's a wonderful example of how historic buildings can be transformed into something completely unexpected.

And let's face it, staying in a converted church is definitely more memorable than your average hotel room!

Booking early means:
✅ Better hotel choice
✅ Free child places availability
✅ Preferred travel dates
✅ More flight options
✅ Time to spread the cost
✅ No last-minute panic

Best of all, you'll have something exciting to look forward to for months ahead.

The most popular family hotels and travel dates don't stay available forever, which is why so many people are booking earlier than ever.
