It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Charlotte and I’m a firm believer that life is better with a holiday to look forward to.

I have worked in travel since 2002 and have been a Travel Counsellor since 2009. I am also proud to be a Gold Travel Counsellor, which basically means I spend most of my time doing what I love: planning amazing trips for lovely people.

I live with my husband, Richard, and our two boys, Jasper and Jude (and Woody the Cocker Spaniel). As a family we know how precious time away is, whether it is a simple sunshine escape or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. I understand that every family is different, and my job is to create holidays that feel just right for yours, whatever that looks like.

A few of my personal favourites:

Thailand: our first big family adventure and a destination that has completely stolen my heart. Friendly people, gorgeous beaches, incredible food and so many special memories.
New York: my ultimate city break. Fast-paced, full of energy and always something exciting to discover, whether it is your first visit or your fifth.
Sri Lanka: my overall favourite. I fell in love with the culture, the warmth of the people, the diversity of the country and, of course, the food. One moment you are in lush tea country, the next you are on a beautiful beach or spotting wildlife.
Cyprus: a destination that will always be special to me because it is where I got married.

I have also been lucky enough to visit places like the Maldives, Australia, Florida, and many parts of Europe. I grab every chance I can to discover new destinations and experiences, so the holidays I design are based on real insight and up-to-date knowledge.

I love hand-crafting every holiday I book but my favourite things to book are:

Tailor-made and more complex itineraries
Luxury family holidays and family adventure travel
Honeymoons and special occasion trips
Lapland and festive escapes
Cruises
Disney, Florida and theme park holidays

Think of me as your personal travel designer. I take the time to get to know what you love, what you are not so keen on and what would make your ideal trip feel extra special. Then I do the hard work, from researching and planning to those little details that make everything feel seamless.

96% of my clients rate me 10 out of 10, and many come back to me year after year and recommend me to friends & family, which is the biggest compliment I could ask for.

If you have an idea, a bucket list dream or even just a “we really need a break”, get in touch and let us start turning it into a holiday you will always remember.

A Magical Adventure at Disney World Resort, Florida: My Personal Experience

A Magical Adventure at Disney World Resort, Florida: My Personal Experience

Disney is one of my favourite trips to book for clients, and I love immersing myself in the magic to stay up to date on everything Disney has to offer. Last summer, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Walt Disney World in Florida, staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, exploring the parks, and even touring Disney Wish. A highlight of my trip was experiencing the VIP Guides, which made t

Our Family Adventure to Thailand

Our Family Adventure to Thailand

We have always said that having kids wouldn't stop us from travelling and that we wanted our boys to experience the world. Until now we've had some lovely family holidays in Europe, but we felt that now, with our boys being 12 & 8, was the time for our first real adventure. So where to go? We wanted something with a good mix of adventure, relaxation, new experiences and of course, somewhere suitab

Cruising The Danube - My First River Cruise Experience

River cruises are something I’ve sold in the past but having never done one myself, when I was offered a place on a trip down the River Danube, naturally I jumped at the chance! After 3 long years of no international travel, I joined about 50 other travel agents on MS Vivaldi, part of the Croisieurope fleet and our itinerary took us to Vienna, Bratislava, Esztergom & Budapest. If you’re a fan of

Amsterdam & Antwerp Taster Cruise

Amsterdam & Antwerp Taster Cruise

I’ve never visited Amsterdam or Antwerp before so when I won a place on a weekend taster cruise with Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV), I was really looking forward to joining my TC colleagues to learn all about both cities and what CMV had to offer. The cruise embarked from Tilbury in London. Living in Oxford, it was a quick and easy journey on the train and tube and by 2pm we were on-board MV C

Dubai - A city for everyone

Dubai - A city for everyone

I last visited Dubai 13 years ago and I know from the many clients I have sent there over the years that it has changed miraculously since then. So when my Mum offered to take me for my birthday, I jumped at the chance to be able to see for myself how much this amazing city has developed following my last trip. Our journey started with Meet & Greet parking at Heathrow, this is so quick and easy

P&O Britannia Inaugaral Celebrations

P&O Britannia Inaugaral Celebrations

Imagine the surprise and delight when, back in November at our annual conference in Manchester, a room full of Travel Counsellors were told that we had all been invited to spend a night on the brand new ship by P&O, Britannia. My excitement grew when, a month before the event, I received my personal invitation in the post and with all the press coverage leading up to her launch, I really could

Olu Deniz - A Jewel In The Turkish Crown!

For our family holiday this year we decided to do something we have never done before… visit the same place twice! We went to the beautiful resort of Olu Deniz last year and loved it so much we were eager to go back again. With its iconic mountain backdrop and gorgeous blue seas, we just couldn’t resist another visit. I booked flights with Jet2 from East Midlands Airport, another two firsts

P&O Mediterranean Cruise

To celebrate my mum’s 50th birthday, we decided to book a summer cruise! We were travelling with a 6 month old baby so we opted for a 17 night Mediterranean cruise aboard P&O’s Ventura departing from Southampton. We parked at Southampton port, which was a quick and straightforward process. Your luggage is taken from the car and the next time you see it is in your cabin. We checked-in and boar

My Magical Disney Adventure!

As a treat for my 25th Birthday, knowing how much I love Disney, my partner took me to Disneyland Paris for 3 nights. We decided to travel on the Eurostar from London St Pancras as neither of us had been on it before and we paid a little extra to upgrade to the leisure select, which gave us slightly bigger seats and a trolley service meal. The whole experience was quick and easy all the way fro

We’ve not been on our holiday yet but booking it was so easy with Charlotte. She was able to find 3 holidays with all the requirements we wanted from a family holiday and it was so easy to have these sent to the app. The hotel was actually one I’d seen while browsing myself but Charlotte secured us a better price than I’d been able to find. Brilliant service and we’re so excited for our holiday

Sophie Harris

Wantage

I would without hesitation always recommend Charlotte to do her very best for anyone wanting to book their holiday with her.

Charlotte is so helpful and does all the hard work and research that i do not have the time to do. If it was left to me i wouldn't book holidays in time and they would be sold out or twice the price. I like the app - its really easy to use and to see at a glance how much more I need to pay.

Emily Ould

Orpington

Charlotte has been amazing and worked miracles on a very tight deadline, not only to get the holiday booked and Covid requirements sorted but also ensuring our boys got their pre departure packs and paper to write to Santa.

Just booked our EuroDisney trip for next year, didn't really know what I wanted and found Charlottle very helpful in helping us decide, nothing too much trouble even with me asking for prices for different dates, meal packages etc, she even booked the restaurants we wanted so I really don't need to do anything. Would definitely use again.

Charlotte is very friendly and efficient and removed the stress from my booking process. I will definitely recommend her to my friends.

Penny McFall

Oxford

Charlotte had a mammoth task when 18 of us went away to Spain in the summer of 2017. One family were already away on holiday and joined us so she even arranged flights for that part of the journey. She took care of everything, the villa, the flights, the car hire and tickets etc! Superb service and I always recommend Charlotte to friends now!

Hannah Jago

Eynsham, Oxfordshire

Hassle free holidaying with the help of Charlotte. I literally told her where and when I wanted to go and that was it. All booked with great flight times and a fabulously convenient hotel. Oh, did I mention there were 5 adults and two young children travelling and I needed a different flight time home, Charlotte to the rescue, a new flight rescheduled Thank you for a platinum star service Charlotte, you really did make a massive difference by giving us a flawless experience with zero stress. Fantastic service.

Dy Love

Cumnor, Oxford

Recently returned from a family holiday to Santorini. Charlotte had good knowledge of the local area and recommended a great hotel, which was child friendly with direct access to the beach. Nothing was too much trouble for Charlotte and she was always on hand to answer questions and change details of our booking. She provides a really personal service and even gave each of our boys a little present for the plane. After booking several holidays with Charlotte I would highly recommend.

Kirsty Davies

Charlotte is superb at organising the perfect holiday, tailored to your needs. I’ve used her many times and would never use anyone else. Completely professional and faultless.

Leanne Williams

We have just returned from our holiday in Carvoeiro, Portugal which Charlotte had arranged for us, needless to say it was absolutely fantastic.

As Charlotte did everything from booking the holiday, arranging transfers, checking us in, sending us all our travel documents, it made it so easy for us and stress free! Thank you Charlotte, will definitely be using your services again and I would definitely recommend Charlotte to anyone.

The personal touches to our booking made it even more special. I’ve recommended Charlotte personally to many of my friends who have all gone on to have excellent support and advice. 100% recommended.

Bev Taylor

Witney

I am never booking a holiday myself again. Charlotte made the whole process completely stress free. She was available day (and night) throughout the whole process and I know if we had any problems when we were away she would be on hand to help. The little touches made the whole experience that much more personal...the 'have a great holiday' card that came with our travel pack (which I might add was fantastic) and the message I received from Charlotte making sure we enjoyed our holiday (which also included birthday wishes). I am getting married next year and I will definitely be asking Charlotte for help with our honeymoon.

Sophie Burchell

Aylesbury

Very efficient and helpful.

Angela Andrews

Didcot

Charlotte has been amazing! She was given a hard task in limited time but she came up trumps and exceeded all our expectations.

Suzanne Brokenshire

Charlotte sorted out all the arrangements for our short break in Venice promptly and efficiently. She listened and understood what we wanted from our few days there.

Adam & Bev Taylor

Witney, Oxfordshire

I dread booking a holiday - trying to get it right for everyone, it's not pleasurable. So when Charlotte was recommended to me by a friend I thought I would see what she could do for me, and I am so glad I did. She listened and understood what we would like from our time away, and took all the hassle from me into researching the best places. I must admit we changed our minds on the initial criteria but Charlotte was great in coming back to me with a revised summary of holidays. I do tend to over worry about travel plans and I'm hoping this holiday will be the first one I can truly enjoy with my family. Thank you Charlotte so much for your help I have already recommended you to friends.

Helen Howlett

Thame

We have booked a number of holidays with Charlotte and are always thrilled with the service she provides. Nothing is too much trouble and she always gets us a great deal. I would never now use a high street travel agent to book as Charlotte is so great, not to mention the convenience of being able to do it over the phone/ email. Why anyone would go to a high street travel agent with a service like this available is beyond me! I already have emphatically recommended Charlotte to a number of people and will continue to do so. Thanks Charlotte!

Peter Bremner-Milne

Witney

Charlotte has been absolutely fantastic with helping us to find our dream honeymoon destination. We gave a really vague brief with a limited budget and she has found the best possible honeymoon that we could ever have dreamed of. Charlotte is friendly, approachable, supportive and kept us up to date throughout the whole process. At a stressful time organising lots of things for the wedding, Charlotte made booking and organising the honeymoon an absolute breeze, she did all the hard work for us. I would definitely recommend Charlotte to friends and family. My sister was the one who recommended her to me in the first place! Many thanks.

Charlotte has always given superb customer service.

We have already recommended her services to some of our friends, and no doubt will do again. Overall we're extremely satisfied with the service so far, and look forward to future bookings!

Charlotte is an exemplary Travel Counsellor.

Shirley Wyatt

Kidlington

I have been very impressed by the service given by Charlotte Lovell. I gave her vague parameters with more of a list of what I didn't want rather than anything constructive but she was unshaken and produced a wonderful selection, one of which we chose. Charlotte was easily contactable and quickly resolved any issues raised. I felt I was in safe and friendly hands throughout and would use her again and recommend her to friends and family.

Professional and friendly service. I was very undecided on where to go and Charlotte was very patient and helpful with suggesting different locations. I would definitely recommend and will be booking my next holiday with Charlotte.

Excellent service as always. We have booked through Charlotte twice and both times she has found us exactly what we want, and always answers any questions we have. Will definitely recommend to family and friends

Charlotte always goes that extra mile to try and find exactly what you want. I have always been very satisfied with everything she's done for me.

Yarnton, Oxfordshire

Charlotte has provided us with an amazing service, researching different destinations that match our requirements, and providing us with a range of suggestions in different budget ranges. The prices were competitive and it's great to be advised from someone who has visited some of the destinations and has had clients that have used others. We were really pleased with the service that she has provided and are looking forward to our holiday in April.

Very fast prompt service, and Charlotte is already looking at our next trip in May. I would not hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone. We are glad to have found Charlotte! The secret to a good Travel Counsellor is they get to know you and your likes and dislikes. If they know what you expect from your holiday it makes the whole process a lot simpler. Thank you Charlotte.

Very quick and friendly service. Competitive prices. Peace of mind that if you need any advice or help before or during your holiday it is always the same person you speak to.

Samantha Turner

Just booked our dream honeymoon with Charlotte - so very excited. She made the whole process very easy and stress-free which is great when you've got many other things to think about. We didn't have a definite idea of what we wanted at the start so she helped us narrow down our search making great suggestions and providing advice and information about our own ideas. She was always available, responded very quickly to questions and provided as many quotes as we wanted for different destinations and hotels. We wouldn't hesitate recommending her services.

We couldnt be more please with charlotte's help and assistance in booking our holiday and will not hesitate to get in touch again when we plan our next one

When I approached Charlotte we had already chosen the hotel/destination we wanted to visit so it was just a matter of getting it booked. I had little faith in the upmarket high street travel agent I had originally enquired at so asked a friend if she knew anyone who could help. I can see why I was recommended Charlotte as she's very thorough, friendly and efficient. We had to bring the holiday forward a month and it was proved no problem at all for her to action for us. I would use Charlotte's services again for future holidays and recommend her to friends and family. In this day and age it's lovely to have that personal touch.

Charlotte was a real help in organising our honeymoon. We told her our budget and where we wanted to go and she came back to us with a completely organised trip of a lifetime! I don't think we would have been able to arrange the trip ourselves without a significant investment of time and effort, which is difficult when you're also planning a wedding. Our honeymoon definitely lived up to expectations and we will be seeking Charlotte's help in planning our future holidays!

Glenn & Stephanie Barlow

Charlotte has been extremely helpful in helping us to plan our honeymoon to Kenya. I would not hesitate to recommend her servies to anyone planning a holiday, and in fact I frequently do recommend her! She is very thorough and knowledgeable and goes out of her way to help you.

Shirley Hook

Bicester

We love Charlotte! She really put as at ease during our first meet-up, where she found out our honeymoon needs and expectations. Then she got straight on the case to find us our dream honeymoon - it's saved us so much time and money (and valuable wedding planning time!). It's all booked now, and we can't thank her enough!

Richard Wakefield

Oxford

My partner and I have just returned from an amazing week's holiday in Cape Verde. The hotel (booked for us by Charlotte) was quite rightly judged to be the best on the island. The flights (also organised by Charlotte) left and returned on time. The organisation of the holiday was perfect, so we will certainly use her services again.

Paul Eastham

West London

It took less than a week for Charlotte to find us what we hope will be the perfect holiday. She listened to all of our requirements (and there were many) and gave us a choice of 3 holidays which matched them all, we were spoilt for choice. She was friendly, approachable and very professional. We are confident that we have chosen the right holiday! Thanks Charlotte!

Jessica Rogers

Oxford

We haven't been abroad for over 8 years and had no idea what we wanted. Charlotte worked so very hard to find us a holiday that was absolutely perfect, despite our efforts to be the most awkward and fussy customers ever! Her knowledge of locations and hotels is outstanding. The whole experience was stress free and we can't recommend Charlotte highly enough.

Julie Barnard

Buckingham

We can't recommend Charlotte and Travel Counsellors highly enough. Charlotte has been an absolute star when helping us to choose and book our honeymoon destination. She took away all the stress and took care of everything, even reminding me to change my name on my passport! We had a magical honeymoon in Italy. We will definately be booking future holidays through Charlotte.

Sam and Steve Lacey

Thame

We have arranged a cruise for our honeymoon through Charlotte. I have a few special needs but nothing was too much trouble for her and it certainly took the worry away from me. After the cruise I am sure that we will book through Charlotte again.

Valerie Jones

Loved our holiday to Gumbet, Turkey in May 2010. Charlotte was fab all the way through from the search for a holiday right up until the day we got back. She was always available to talk (when I panicked about the ash cloud!!) and the transfers were easy, flights and hotel was great!! Will definitely book again!! Thanks Charlotte

Laura Davies

Bedford

Charlotte has been extremely helpful in obtaining my flights etc. Particularly being able to travel from Birmingham which makes things easier with the children living there. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends in the knowledge that they will get good service with their travel plans.

Jean Smith

Nottingham

Charlotte has just booked a holiday for the second time for me and a couple of my friends. This has been a big help to me as I was always the one who did all the work, but now I just ring Charlotte and it is all done for me. She is pleasant, efficient and always contactable. She goes the extra mile, even filling in the information on luggage labels before she delivered them to my door.
