Begin with a conversationAstonbury Travel is one person, on your side, with the whole industry behind them. As part of The Getaway Collection, a collective of more than two thousand independent travel agents, we hold the same supplier relationships and trade rates as the biggest names on the high street.
The difference is the service. You deal with the same person from first idea to final transfer home. No call centres, no hold music, no starting the story again from the beginning.
And while we love a grand journey, we are just as pleased arranging half term in the sun. Glamour is optional. Care is not.
A few places we love. If yours is not here, that is simply because the page ends.
Milestones deserve better than a booking engine. Told once, arranged beautifully, remembered always.
The right camp, in the right region, in the right week. Detail is everything here, and it is our favourite subject.
From boutique yachts to the grand ladies of the sea, with cabins chosen like theatre seats.
January somewhere warm, or first lifts in the Alps. Either way, out of the grey.
Half term, summer holidays, three generations around one table. Kids clubs vetted, flight times sensible.
Anniversaries, big birthdays, village outings and reunions. Small trips get the full treatment too.
The person who designs your trip is the person who answers when you call, before you travel and while you are away.
Bookings are made through The Getaway Collection with the financial protection you would expect, including ABTA and ATOL protection where applicable.
The same suppliers, rates and offers as the high street and the big websites, with none of the queue and rather more honesty.
The protection applying to your booking is confirmed on your booking documentation. Astonbury Travel is an independent travel agent, part of The Getaway Collection.
A form, a call or a coffee. Vague ideas are very welcome; that is what we are for.
A considered proposal with honest pricing. We refine it with you until it is exactly right.
Flights, stays, transfers and the small print, handled and protected properly.
Schedule changes, upgrades and hiccups are our problem, not yours, until you are home.
Astonbury Travel takes its name from Astonbury Wood, the ancient woodland beside our home village of Aston, Hertfordshire. We think that is rather the point of travel: it starts somewhere small and familiar, and opens onto the whole world.
We serve two kinds of traveller with equal pleasure. Those planning the big one: the honeymoon, the safari, the round-the-world retirement adventure. And our neighbours, who would simply like next summer sorted by someone they can actually talk to.
Either way, you get the same thing: taste, patience and a professional who books travel every day of the week.
Tell us where you are dreaming of, or just how long you can get away for. We will reply personally, usually the same day.
