Planning a complex itinerary, luxury getaway, cruise or group trip?

Discover the difference an independent travel advisor can make.

At Ottery Travel, we’re a 100% independent travel agency with the experience, knowledge and connections to help you find exceptional value, unlock exclusive perks and travel with greater peace of mind.

Before you book elsewhere, discover why so many travellers choose Ottery Travel. We save you time, cut through the noise of endless online research and, most importantly, help you travel with confidence.

Independent doesn’t mean more expensive

There’s a common misconception that independent travel advisors are only for luxury holidays, or that using one will inevitably cost more.

The reality is very different.

An independent travel advisor is there to help you find real quality and genuine value, whatever your budget. We search across a wide range of travel options and suppliers to find what’s right for you, rather than simply presenting the first option an online search happens to produce.

And while booking online may seem cheaper, it doesn’t always mean better value or less hassle.

Your holiday should be exciting, not exhausting

Researching a holiday can quickly turn into an exhausting project: comparing destinations, hotels, flights, reviews, itineraries, cancellation policies, transfers and countless offers.

That’s where we come in.

At Ottery Travel, we do the research for you and use our experience to help you make an informed decision.

Here’s what you can expect:

Free research on your behalf — saving you hours of searching and comparing.
Greater choice — more destinations, experiences and travel options to suit your budget.
Access to exclusive promotions and offers — including deals and added-value perks that may not be readily visible when booking independently online.
A relationship you can rely on — someone who knows your trip and is there to support you before, during and after your holiday.
Expert travel knowledge — advice from people who genuinely live and breathe travel.
Real human interaction — talk to someone who listens, understands what matters to you and can offer an informed perspective.

But isn’t booking direct cheaper?

It’s easy to assume that booking directly with a travel company must be cheaper because there’s no travel agent involved.

However, holiday pricing generally already incorporates the distribution or commission arrangements within the travel industry. When you book direct, that doesn’t necessarily mean you receive a discount equivalent to an agent’s commission.

The real value of an independent advisor is the expertise, choice and service you receive alongside the holiday itself.

Rather than limiting yourself to one website, brand or booking platform, an independent advisor can look across a much broader range of options and help you compare them objectively.

without the conveyor belt

At Ottery Travel, we don’t believe in a “quick in, sell, quick out” approach.

We believe travel should be personal.

Our aim is to build relationships with our clients that last long after they return home. We want to understand what you enjoy, what matters to you and what makes a trip memorable — so that each time you travel, we can make the experience even better.

Your holiday is too important to leave to endless tabs, algorithms and guesswork.

Let Ottery Travel take care of the research, the comparisons and the details — so you can concentrate on the exciting part: looking forward to your trip.

We are an independent travel & cruise agency that design bespoke itineraries across the globe.

Probably more travel brochures than available elsewhere

With more than 500 tour operators to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and end up seeing only the companies that regularly dominate the media. But some of the most rewarding travel experiences come from specialist tour operators that often fly under the radar. Not only can they offer better value, but they also create more meaningful journeys tailored to your personal interests and passions.

Take the time to explore beyond the familiar names—you may discover a tour that’s a better fit for your budget, your travel style, and the experience you’ve been dreaming of.
