Your Next Holiday Starts Here

Hi, I’m Sarah, and I'd love to be your personal Travel Counsellor, and design your next unforgettable escape.

With over 25 years’ experience in delivering exceptional customer service, a genuine obsession with planning and organising, and a lifelong passion for travel, I specialise in creating beautifully tailored holidays that feel effortless for you and extraordinary in every detail.

I’m based in Worcester, where I live with my husband, teenage son and our much‑loved sausage dog, and I’ve been fortunate to explore more than 20 countries. My favourite travels have taken me from the lush paradise of Costa Rica and the enchanting souks of Morocco to many repeat adventures across the USA.

I have a particular love for multi‑destination itineraries and road trips, especially across the USA and Canada, as well as epic journeys through Australia and New Zealand: think open roads, breathtaking landscapes and carefully chosen stays that turn a great trip into a truly memorable one.

However, I am here to help with any kind of holiday you have in mind. From relaxing beach escapes and family adventures to city breaks, honeymoons, escorted tours, cruises and luxury short getaways, I can plan and book it all, always tailored around you.

As part of Travel Counsellors, I belong to a global community of travel professionals who share my commitment to genuine, personalised service. This gives me access to an incredible depth of knowledge and trusted partners, which I use to design trips that are smooth, considered and perfectly matched to you.

I take the time to really get to know you: your travel style, your must‑haves, your nice‑to‑haves and the little details that make you feel truly looked after. From your very first enquiry to the moment you arrive home, I personally manage every element of your booking: flights, handpicked accommodation, touring, car hire and motorhomes, experiences and excursions, special celebrations and those thoughtful finishing touches. I like to think of myself as your dedicated Travel PA, always on hand and with the reassurance of 24/7 support while you are away.

You will also have complete peace of mind knowing that, when you book through Travel Counsellors, your holiday is 100% financially protected, either through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust or ATOL, where applicable.

So whether you are dreaming of a self‑drive adventure along the Pacific Coast Highway, a special family break in Europe, a luxury escape amid the vineyards and beaches of New Zealand or a simple week in the sun to truly switch off, I am here to turn your travel ideas into a holiday that feels tailor‑made just for you.

I would be delighted to help you start planning your next journey so I'd love to hear from you and help you bring your travel plans to life.

Parga Paradise

Parga Paradise

Where is Parga? This is what everyone asked me when I said we were heading there for a week in the Summer. Well, it’s a charming seaside town in Greece and probably the most popular holiday destination in Epirus! It offers breath taking sea views, a myriad of lovely restaurants, a port with a great selection of boat trips, and great beaches.

Sicilian Wonders

Sicilian Wonders

I had the opportunity, and pleasure, of holidaying with just my husband for a week this Summer and we chose to visit wonderful Sicily, and being indulgent we decided on not one place to visit but three! Starting our adventure in Palermo, we enjoyed a day in the city visiting the famous catacombs, admiring the architecture and eating arancina from the bustling food markets. The restaurants we vis

Four Days in New York City

Four Days in New York City

I’ve been lucky enough to visit New York a few times - I’ve travelled alone, with my husband, with friends and recently we took our 16 year old son there for the first time – each time brought with it new experiences and discoveries. The Big Apple is a busy city and you really do need good walking shoes as exploring on foot is the best way to get around. Yes of course, you will want to grab a Cab

Costa Rica - Pura Vida

Costa Rica - Pura Vida

If you’ve never been to Costa Rica then you are missing out on the most amazing country and experience. We spent 7 nights there and could have stayed for months. We booked Costa Rica whilst it was still on the red list during covid days, it was an offer that could not be missed, albeit meaning we had to stay in an all inclusive hotel. We would have preferred more of an accommodation adventure b

Chilling in Taghazout

Chilling in Taghazout

After a few busy visits to Marrakech over the years, we decided on a relaxing week in Taghazout, a village half an hour drive North of Agadir. Taghazout is known to be a surfer’s paradise. We chose all inclusive at the RIU Palace Tikida, which was lovely and to the high standards of RIU Palaces we have stayed at in the past. It’s on the beach and within walking distance to the village, which wa

Ten Days in Texas

Ten Days in Texas

The Lone Star State really is ideal for a multi-destination holiday, and of course to include a road trip too. It’s very easy to drive and full of experiences that would suit any family or traveller. We flew into Austin, collected our hire car and drove the one and a half hours to San Antonio. We were recommended to make a stop at Buc-ees, a must for any road trip in Texas. It’s a huge gas stati

What my customers say

The process of booking a surprise city break for a special birthday was fantastic. Sarah listened to my requirements, made suggestions and within a week the entire break was sorted. It has saved me so much time, I’d definitely recommend using Sarah - we intend to for our next holiday!

Charlotte Treverton-Jones

Droitwich

Sarah was super helpful and has saved me so much time and hassle. I won’t ever do this myself anymore but will come to Sarah instead.

Andrew Dalton

Worcester

Sarah takes the stress out of the whole holiday booking process, and I have complete peace of mind knowing that she always thoroughly checks everything on our behalf. I’d never used an independent travel agent before Sarah, but I've used her a few times now and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. I hope to book lots more holidays with her in the future :)

Jennifer Foxley

Sarah is incredibly proactive and responsive to any question or query. Nothing is too much trouble and she sourced amazing accommodation for our proposed trip to Mauritius next year. I recommend her highly!

Mr Carl

Walker

We’ve just returned from an unforgettable 5 night minimoon in beautiful Sorrento, expertly arranged by Sarah Lloyd-Rumens, our wonderful Travel Counsellor. From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress free thanks to Sarah’s attention to detail and personal touch. Our hotel was absolutely perfect… Stunning views over the Bay of Naples, a peaceful hillside location, and a gorgeous infinity pool that felt like pure luxury. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel special from the moment we arrived. During our stay, we visited Pompeii, which was fascinating, a must see for anyone in the area. One of the highlights of the trip was a wine tasting evening where we sampled local wines and enjoyed delicious Italian food in a relaxed, romantic setting. We also took a boat trip along the Amalfi Coast, which gave us a completely new perspective of the stunning coastline… it was beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better minimoon. A perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and romance. Huge thanks again to Sarah for helping us create such special memories and we’re already thinking about what trip she can plan for us next!

I would love to give Sarah a higher score, 10 is not enough. She’s been so good helping me with my first holiday by myself in many years, she’s taken time to explain everything to me.
