Martin Sandland-Owens
At Book With Martin, the world of travel is my passion, and, as your local agent, I am one of the lucky few to have been in my dream job for over 20 years. My previous roles also include being a part of the Cabin Crew & Passenger Service, giving me a lot of first-hand knowledge, so I am full of handy little hints that can turn your trip into the perfect holiday.
I have travelled to many countries, from fly-and-flop retreats in Barbados and Gran Canaria, to skiing breaks at Aspen Snowmass. The many voyages I have enjoyed around the med on most ocean liners large or small, and also on rivers in Europe like the Rhine and Danube, have put me in the best position to specialise in selling cruises. I also regularly attend the river cruise conventions — a great opportunity to see how individual the ships are, and how they all offer the most amazing destination experiences, so I can better advise you.
Aside from my globe-trotting pursuits, another hobby that my life revolves around is rugby. I am heavily involved in supporting my local club, and by combining both my interests, I have even arranged rugby tours…along with other group-related travel like ski holidays, family getaways, and tailor-made trips such as those for the LGBT market.
My guests are not just for one trip; my guests are for life. I achieve this through providing exceptional customer service from the enquiry stage right up to the moment you come back, when we can swop stories, sharing memories of our incredible adventures.
As a member of The Holiday Village, part of the Travel Village Group — an award-winning family-run business trading since 1959 — I can help you book with confidence. When you book with me, you’re in safe hands. The Holiday Village, is a member of ABTA, so you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with ABTA’s trusted support and adherence to its Code of Conduct.
Additionally, I can arrange holiday packages with flights that are protected under the ATOL scheme, ensuring your financial security and giving you one less thing to worry about as you plan your getaway. Plus, being independent means I have access to a large selection of suppliers with fantastic commercial deals.
Looking after you throughout your journey until your safe return is my promise, so whatever your travel requirements, please give me a call at your convenience, and let me be the one-stop-shop for all your travel needs.
