Welcome, I'm Charlotte

Hello, I'm Charlotte.

I'm an independent Travel Counsellor based in the beautiful village of Holt, nestled between Bradford-on-Avon and Melksham in Wiltshire. Whether you're just around the corner or elsewhere in the UK, I'm here to help you plan extraordinary holidays that are completely tailored to you.

Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began my career in the travel industry in 2001 and have been fortunate enough to work with luxury travel brands, airlines and high-end corporate clients, giving me a wealth of knowledge and experience across every aspect of travel.

I've travelled myself extensively, from island-hopping across Asia and exploring Europe's hidden gems to volunteering with animals in India. Those experiences shaped the way I travel today and inspire the holidays I create for my clients, authentic, memorable and designed around what matters most to them.

Whether you're dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, an unforgettable honeymoon, a family holiday packed with special moments or simply a relaxing escape, I'll take the time to get to know you before creating a holiday that's as individual as you are. No two itineraries are ever the same.

From our very first conversation until you're safely home again, I'll be with you every step of the way. I take care of all the planning, research and finer details, so you can simply look forward to your holiday with complete confidence.

Booking with a Travel Counsellor also means your holiday is 100% financially protected, and you'll have the reassurance of our 24/7 Duty Office while you're away, wherever you are in the world.

I'd love the opportunity to help you plan your next adventure and show you just how personal travel planning can be.

I look forward to speaking with you soon.

charlotte is thorough, efficient, friendly and always professional.

Naomi Leeming

Monmouthshire

Amazing support and help with our trip. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlotte; indeed, I have already! 😊

Claire Libbey

Bath

Charlotte is fabulous; she was able to offer an amazing selection of alternatives when my original destination proved not viable. None of which I would've come up with on my own; this insight and expertise are invaluable. It's been a very welcome change not to organise my own holiday, and I'm really looking forward to discovering the great new place I've now booked.

Charlotte responds promptly to my questions. Her attention to my travel needs has made the whole experience very comfortable. I have already recommended her to a friend in Australia. I hope she, too, will use Charlotte's services.

Susan Lawson

Lot et Garonne

Charlotte helped us to achieve a holiday with minimal fuss! As we both have little time, the hard work of looking for a holiday was alleviated by Charlotte selecting a group of holidays for us to review in the comfort of our own home. The whole process took a couple of days, and we were able to book with confidence. Thank you, Charlotte.

Clare Vant

Torquay

Charlotte has been brilliant with helping me book flights for Australia. I had a couple of things come up that delayed my booking, but she was really patient, and there was never any pressure or hard push to commit and get paid up. She gave me several options to choose from too, instead of simply giving me expensive quotes. The booking process was really quick and easy, and she was always really responsive when I had any questions. Thanks so much again, Charlotte! : )

You have been most helpful and what a treat to not have to trawl the internet for hours trying to find the right package. I will be calling on you in the future and have told friends to call you too. Thank you, Charlotte

Wendy MsLaren

BRISTOL

Charlotte really helped me and my partner to find a destination that suited us in terms of price, quality and timing. We couldn't have done this without her

Jack Pay

Wigan

We can happily recommend Charlotte Daines Travel Counsellor. After carefully discussing our requirements and narrowing down the options, she has carefully arranged and booked a multi-centre holiday for us, including flights, trains, hotels and transfers - then also found us an excellent 'last-minute' bargain so we can enjoy some winter warmth in sunnier climes.

Amazing service

Joanna Southway

SOMERTON

I have already recommended Charlotte to people for their future travel plans, and I plan to work with her on future adventure plans. It took away all of my concerns and worries about where to go and what to do. Charlotte listens closely, cares about what people want from their travels and understands what might be holding them back (in my case it was a lack of confidence to travel afar post Lockdowns). Charlotte was easy to stay in contact with throughout the whole process, and is clearly very dedicated to her clients. And passionate about what she does. A breath of fresh air!

Chrissie Hines

LONDON

Charlotte has been amazing in helping our dream family holiday come together.

Carla Marsh

Bath

We have just returned from a holiday that was arranged for us by Charlotte Daines Travel Counsellor The arrangements and attention to detail by Charlotte were faultless and made a 'good' holiday into a 'great' holiday - thank you so much! All the travel arrangements worked seamlessly, including the personal transfers to and from airport and hotel. Our hotel room was exactly what we asked for (Charlotte even 'phoned the hotel for confirmation on the day before we arrived). The hotel staff were great and the quality and choice of food exceeded our expectations, as did the value of the overall holiday package. In summary, I would encourage anyone who is thinking about booking a holiday to speak to Charlotte - the combination of choice, quality, cost and personal service is fantastic
