Daventry

It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, I am Margaret Oldroyd.

Welcome to my web page!

High on my travel list has always been Greece and its islands.

I have been to Switzerland many times, and Austria, I love mountains! I have been to several parts of Britain and lived in a few different UK areas. i have been to New Zealand and toured both islands briefly!

Every holiday I book is 100% financially protected by our Travel Counsellors Trust.

As I work from home I am available for my clients at a time that suits them, providing a personal service throughout the booking process until they have returned home.

I am happy to help with any enquiries, however small!

Kenilworth

Kenilworth

Our daughter moved from her university area of Devon to the Midlands. On her birthday we thought we would go and visit Kenilworth Castle, as I am interested in history and just may have an ancestral connection to the people and the place, though I didn't know this when I went to see the castle! The castle became a ruin shortly after the Civil War. It had been in existence since time Norman times

Norway cruise

Norway cruise

We went on a Norwegian cruise in June one year. This was on one of the large Princess Cruises ships. We sailed from Southampton, visited Stavanger, Tromso, Flaam and Voss, Alesund, Olden, Trondheim, the Lofoten Islands and the Port for the North Cape and Bergen. We were sailing to land of the Midnight Sun. It sounds fantastic, but the weather was definitely not playing the game! For most of our

Old Sarum

Old Sarum

We visited Old Sarum, an English Heritage property. We have been to Salisbury itself several times and were interested to see where it started from! We were extremely lucky in going on a lovely summer’s day, with a gentle breeze, which was ideal, as the walk from the car park is a fair way and uphill! It seems the reason for moving this place was the difficulty of obtaining fresh drinking water,

My Scotland

My Scotland

I love Scotland so I thought I would write about this country. Much of my heritage contains Scottish ancestry, although the nearest person to me who was actually born there was my parental grandfather who I never met. He was born and grew up in Edinburgh. I have been studying my family history for a few years now. My grandfather, however, came from a family based mostly in Ayrshire and western S

The Wedding

The Wedding

When I was married (in the middle ages!) we had a church service, followed by a wedding breakfast at a nearby hotel. This started at 11am in the morning with the church service. We left the hotel around 4pm to head off for our Lake District honeymoon, and to visit my grandmother who was too upset at the loss of my Dad the year before, to come to our wedding. But this compact type of occasion is n

Stourhead

Stourhead

We regularly go to Stourhead. It belongs to the National Trust. There is a Manor House on the site, but Stourhead is best known for its lovely grounds. It is beautiful at most times of the year, but my favourite time is Autumn when the trees look fantastic in their Autumn colours. It is a pleasant place to wander through the trees or along the lake, within the grounds. There is a duck pond and,

We have been on this cruise itinerary twice before, but on the Queen Victoria on the previous occasion. This time was on the Queen Elizabeth. We went from Southampton.

Winter Holiday

It was February. We thought we would really love some winter sun, so headed to the Caribbean island of Grenada. We always go to the airport the day before we fly, having been nearly missed a flight due to a motorway traffic jam. We flew from Gatwick via St. Lucia in Premium Economy. We were only on the ground in St. Lucia for about 45 minutes and didn’t leave the plane. The crew opened the door

I was invited to visit the Regent Seven Seas Explorer with a group of Travel Counsellors in Southampton. We met in the Mayflower Terminal, around 9:15 am, where we were offered tea or coffee and something to eat if we wished. The very friendly staff checked us in, handed us a lanyard and kept our passports, which we were to collect when we left the ship. Going through security and boarding the

Holiday in Vienna

We stayed overnight at London Heathrow before flying to Vienna the next morning. We shared a private taxi to our hotel with another couple, as our driver was stuck in traffic due to the many road works happening at the time. They had been to the hotel a few times before. When we arrived at our hotel we were allocated our room on the 6th floor. It was very nice. The weather was pleasant. We went

It has become a ‘new’ tradition with us now to go away over New Year, having spent Christmas and Boxing Day with our daughter. My husband said he was quite keen to do a similar cruise to the one we did a couple of years ago. This left from Southampton and was due to sail to Zeebrugge, then Amsterdam and finally Cherbourg.

My husband had a significant birthday in September 2017. We have been away a few times this year, but my husband did mutter that it would be nice to go somewhere sunny. This gave me the idea to look at possible places to go. After much research, I decided on Antigua. This was to be a secret until his birthday. I booked it before the hurricanes hit the Caribbean. I was a little worried when I he

We recently went to Scotland for a week on a ‘family fact finding’ holiday! My daughter and I are trying to find out ‘Who we think we are!’ Our first port of call was Ayr. We stayed with some friends, had a lovely time, visited a castle which is part of the National Trust for Scotland, called Culzean Castle (pronounced Colean!). My daughter and I also visited the Ayr Carnegie Library, where

We decided to have a few days in Italy. Having been to Rome the previous year we chose Florence and Pisa for this holiday and went in early May for a few days. We flew from London Heathrow to Pisa arriving around lunchtime. There are shuttles buses running regularly into the main town of Pisa. We boarded one to take us to the main railway station, where we were due to catch a train to Florence.

We decided we would like to visit Switzerland again, after eleven years. Going by car we took a mid-day ferry from Dover to Calais. The weather was fine and the sea not too choppy. Rather than drive all the way we arranged to stay for one night near Reims. It was a new hotel and comfortable. We used the French motorways. They are now mostly automated, a little daunting as the passenger in a UK car

We had many air miles we had to use them or lose them and Dubai seemed a reasonable choice! We flew Upper Class, which was a touch of luxury provided by our air miles.

She also went above and beyond in contacting me with important information that could affect another upcoming trip I have even though it wasn't booked through her.

I am currently booking my honeymoon with Margaret and I know we're in safe hands! All through the planning stage Margaret has done a lot of legwork to tailor our holiday to suit our wishes and she is always readily contactable and willing to talk through any ideas. In short, I would definitely recommend Margaret and she would be my first point of contact when planning a bespoke holiday.

I know that when I contact Margaret i'll get unbiased, no nonsense and sensible answers to my questions. Thanks again for a very smooth and hassle free booking.
