Designer Travel by Lynne Burnley

Looking to book a proper holiday? Skip trawling through comparison sites and give Lynne Burnley at Designer Travel a ring. She's based right here in Southport town centre, and with a solid 5.0 rating from 11 reviews, it looks like she knows her stuff. I always prefer dealing with a real person, especially when you're dropping a load of cash on a big trip.

Lynne's an independent travel agent, so she can put together packages tailored to what *you* actually want, rather than pushing whatever's on offer from the big companies. Plus, she's got access to deals you won't always find online. My mate used her for his honeymoon to the Maldives and said she sorted everything, flights, transfers, the lot.

They're open seven days a week, 9 'til 5, which is handy if you work regular hours. Give her a bell on 07884 342321 to have a chat about your plans, or check out her website if you want to get a feel for what she does.

One thing to remember: while she's based in Southport, she can help with trips anywhere in the world, so don't think she's just for local getaways!
