Everyone at Rosehill Travel is passionate about this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is why we wouldn’t want to be based anywhere else.

We listen to you. In our 15 years curating bespoke private tours and holidays, customers tell us how much they love the way we tailor our tours to suit them. Our local driver-guides know everything there is to know about the Cotswolds, and their charm and expertise, as well as their uncanny ability to predict what you will find interesting, make Rosehill Travel what it is.
Here at Rosehill Travel, my team and I live the Cotswolds. Not all of us were born and bred here but we’ve chosen to live here for a reason and you’ll understand why when you get here
After studying tourism and hospitality, I worked in Europe, North America and Asia, where I spent time getting to know the heart and soul of everywhere I visited.
Through spending time with locals, sharing first-hand experiences and seeing places through their eyes. And that’s what inspires me everyday at Rosehill Travel – showing our clients the real Cotswolds, not what you see in a brochure. Here at Rosehill Travel, we take you to the hidden hamlets and villages, tell you about the area’s unique history and folklore, and make your time with us an enduring part of your holiday memories.
I moved from Minsk to the UK almost 20 years ago and I’m very proud to now be calling it my home. I lived in London for the first eight years where I met my husband who lived and grew up in the Cotswolds. He introduced me to this most beautiful part of the UK, and I immediately fell in love with it! I remember saying: “I feel like Alice in Wonderland”, when I saw the Cotswolds for the very first time. We moved here over 10 years ago now and lived in several towns of the Cotswolds like Wootton-Under-Edge, Painswick, Stroud and have now settled in Cheltenham with our two beautiful children.
We love having family days out, with our children’s favourite being the trout farm in Bibury and Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe. We also enjoy the pub lunches in the local Cotswolds pubs and are always on the hunt for the best Sunday Roast!
I’m very proud to have joined Rosehill Travel and to be sharing my passion for the Cotswolds with the Team.
During my 40 years in the travel industry, my most memorable moments have been enjoying the local charm and hidden gems I’ve been lucky enough to visit. And this is the experience I love giving visitors to the Cotswolds: seeking out villages that aren’t in any guidebook, ‘stumbling’ across a delightful country pub for lunch, taking a deserted lane for an uninterrupted vista, and always being utterly flexible so the day is truly theirs.
My dream move to the Cotswolds was some 30 years ago and as a consultant in the UK tourism sector, I’ve travelled all over the country, but nowhere is quite like home. I never tire of long walks in the Cotswolds hills with my family and faithful black lab Monty, and like nothing more than sharing my wealth of knowledge about the landscape, history and food of the area, and showing people the undiscovered gems that lie off the beaten tourist track.
Travel has always been a passion for me – for many years I lived overseas in Cyprus and Hong Kong – but the Cotswolds with its amazing villages, towns and scenery has been my longest enduring geographical love affair. I first started showing friends and relatives around back in the Eighties and touring for Rosehill Travel is just one of my passions – I’m also a classically trained pianist and a TV and film extra, often combining the two!
My love affair with the Cotswolds started when I settled here with my husband and two children in the Nineties. Exploring the escarpments, rivers, brooks and streams ignited my interest in the beauty and history of the Cotswolds, drawing me into its inspiring literature and rich heritage. My other passion is cars and I love touring through the Cotswolds, showing and telling clients about the secret places I’ve discovered over the years.
During a long career in journalism I lived all over England and in Australia, before spending more than two decades working for The Guardian newspaper in London. A spell as a teacher of English as a foreign language followed and gave me my first experience of tour guiding, as I hosted foreign students and showed them around places of interest in southern England. After moving to The Cotswolds I welcomed the opportunity to join Rosehill Travel and show visitors around the beautiful area that I now live in.
