I’m Michelle, mammy to two smallies, Cara and Fionn and Stepmam to Sofia, married to my best friend of almost 20 years, Rob! Life is busy in our home but one thing is for sure we always make time for adventures.

From living in London, Australia, travelling in New Zealand and Thailand, many many city breaks, family holidays and roadtrips… It is fair to say I have done ALOT of travelling over the years, from first leaving home in 2010.. that travel bug never left. I am thrilled to now be able to bring my little family along too.

    The travel lodge is an incredible service.

  • Jess , March 2025

    This is truly Michelle's calling, she is just as excited about the trip as you. We even received a list of recommendations of things to see while away, I also thought this was such a lovely touch.Really responsive communication and nothing was too much of a hassle. Arriving in the room decorated with balloons, happy birthday banners and a bottle of prosecco was such a lovely touch! 10/10 service.

  • Selina, April 2025

    From start to finish our trip was hassle free,Michelle went above and beyond checking different hotels for us and communication was excellent. From planning our hotel to attraction tickets michelle made everything so stress free and I couldn't recommend her enough.

  • Claire, April 2025

    Michelle’s enthusiasm and passion for her job made the whole experience of booking through The Travel Lodge. From the texts to seeing Michelle in person her dedication to booking us the perfect trip was brilliant. The little pack we received the week before flying also added to it. We would never have found these places to stay without Michelle. What we wanted was quite broad and we didn’t give a specific location. Michelle gave us 3 options in 3 different countries so we will definitely look at doing one of the other trips in the near future!!scription goes here
