Having used Andrea Lovatt as our Travel Counsellor for the past few years, we have found her to be extremely competent and committed. Over the years she has arranged various trips and extras for us ranging from a three week holiday to Orlando, Florida to helicopter rides in New York City. There has not been a question that she has not been able to answer or a holiday detail that she has not been able to arrange. However, it is not just her wealth of knowledge that most impressed us about Andrea. She is bubbly, thoughtful and kind. Whilst in Florida, my daughter turned 17 and Andrea arranged to have flowers delivered to her room as a surprise. It is the little things that can really make a holiday, and Andrea’s thoughtfulness really made the day to be that little bit more special. After years of using Andrea as our Travel Counsellor, we would not use anyone else.

We have known Andrea for many years, she was always our first port of call at our local travel agents, always happy to help with a very friendly smile. We were disappointed to learn that she had left but then luckily we received a letter in the post to say that she had joined Travel Counsellors - a independent firm. From then on we have gone no where else, nothing is every too much trouble for Andrea and if you need advice she is only an e mail or a phone call away, if ever we have any problems they are sorted out instantly and any concerns about our holiday are all fine by the time we leave. From big family holidays to small weekends away, flights, hotels, attraction tickets and any extras all great value for money, it's really nice to have such a personal service, we have had some brilliant holidays and hopefully many more to come.

My wife and I had decided to go to the Maldives for our honeymoon, and after flicking through several thick holiday brochures we were nowhere near to finding our ideal destination... so I turned to Andrea. I simply told Andrea that we wanted somewhere quiet and romantic. Andrea came back to me within hours with several options, all cheaper and more exclusive than those that we had found in the brochures. We decided on Chayaa Lagoon but wanted to stay in a water bungalow. There was a difficulty in locating any that seemed available through the normal holiday companies, so Andrea called the hotel directly and managed to book us a water bungalow for the duration our stay.
Andrea also informed the hotel prior to our arrival that we were honeymooners and we were greeted with wine and fruit in our room. Our honeymoon was perfect, we could not have asked for anything more and it was all thanks to Andrea. In the midst of the drama and mayhem of sorting our our wedding, it was fantastic to have someone who dealt with one of the most important items for us so professionally and calmly. It was a real weight off of our shoulders. The service you receive from Andrea is far better than you will receive on the high street. Andrea goes the extra distance to ensure that you have a perfect holiday. Once my wife and I have settled our argument over whether we visit Hawaii or Mexico next year, we will be back to Andrea to arrange it for us.

A friend recommended that we use the travel counsellors' service to find out about destinations for our honeymoon. We found Andrea, our travel counsellor, to be very helpful and efficient at finding details about places to stay within our budget. Needless to say, our honeymoon was fantastic! All of the transportation that we needed for each destination was arranged for us, the hotels were lovely and accurately described to us. We also received some extra little treats from our hotels at Andrea's request - the added personal touches were very much appreciated! The whole holiday experience, from searching around, to booking and then travelling was made so easy for us and saved us a lot of time. We will certainly be contacting Andrea the next time we decide to go on holiday! Many thanks.

My husband and I were trying to decide on where to go for our Honeymoon and Andrea was recommended to us by a friend. Having Andrea on board made the process so much simpler and easier for us. Both my husband and I have busy jobs so it was a real relief not to have to go into a travel agent every time we wanted to ask something - everything could be done by email or telephone and Andrea was superb in answering even our silliest queries straight away! It really was a much more personal service as we were dealing with the same person all the time - from the initial booking to the weeks leading up to the honeymoon. Andrea was able to help answer questions not only on the accommodation and flights but on practical things like the amount of currency we would need on safari - she even emailed the hotels individually to advise it was our honeymoon so we received flowers and champagne on arrival. Andrea was so efficient and friendly that we are going to use her for our holiday next year. In fact, we gave Andrea's details to some friends who were also getting married this year and they also used Andrea to sort out their honeymoon in the Seychelles.

1 night at The Malmaison Hotel in Manchester - to see 'Coldplay'
20 June 2012
I booked tickets for my boyfriend and I to see ‘Coldplay’ at Manchester City Football Club’s ‘Etihad Stadium’ as a Christmas present and decided to book a night’s accommodation so we didn’t have to make the hour drive back home again that same night. I decided on the four star Malmaison Hotel opposite Piccadilly Station in the centre of Manchester. Six months later, upon check-in we were absolu
Grand Siva Resort in Hurghada, Egypt
20 June 2012
I had never visited Egypt before and my partner and I decided to stay for seven nights in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada at the four star plus Siva Grand Beach Resort on all inclusive basis. I flew from Manchester with Monarch Airlines who I always find to be a good airline and on arrival after obtaining our visas, we had a short transfer to our hotel. Upon check-in we found we had been upgrad
3 night break in ‘The Thatched Barn’ in Smarden, Kent
19 June 2012
This was the fourth pre-Christmas break my friends and I have taken, so it seems this has now become a yearly thing! We have always chosen accommodation fairly near to where we live so we never have to drive that far and we did the same again this time. We chose ‘The Thatched Barn’ in Smarden, Kent which was about a 50 minute drive from where we live so was the perfect location. When we arri
5* Costa Adeje Gran Hotel, Costa Adeje in Tenerife
19 June 2012
I flew from Gatwick to Tenerife with my friend for a four night pre-summer break at the five star Costa Adeje Gran Hotel in Costa Adeje, and had a fabulous time. The weather was gorgeous and the hotel was perfect for a luxurious five star short break. I stayed on half board basis and the buffet restaurant offered a brilliant choice of breakfast and theme dinners. The hotel had three separate p
Gumbet, Turkey - 2010
28 February 2011
This was my 12th visit to Gumbet in Turkey and my 12th stay at the same hotel! Every year, myself and a group of friends always book to stay at ‘The Bagevleri Hotel’ in Gumbet, on the Bodrum Peninsula, for either 7 or 14 nights. We love this time of year as it is not too busy but the weather is still beautiful. ‘The Bagevleri Hotel’ is a small family run bed and breakfast hotel in a fantast
3 night break in a converted barn in Buxted, East Sussex, UK
26 February 2011
Me and a group of friends stayed in an oasthouse in Wittersham, Kent, not far from where we live, at this same time last year and had such a lovely time we decided to do the same thing again a year later! We didn’t want to travel too far again as our break was only going to be for 3 nights so we chose a converted barn on a farm in Buxted, East Sussex about a 50 minute drive from where we live.
Gumbet, Turkey - 2009

This was my 11th visit to Gumbet on the Bodrum Peninsula and to the same hotel. My June holiday to Turkey has now become a yearly ritual for me and a group of family and friends and we always have such a wonderful time! I love going in June as the weather is beautiful and hot but not too hot! It takes just under four hours to fly from Gatwick to Bodrum and then just 45 minutes to be transferre
Gumbet, Turkey - 2008
26 February 2011
I have been to Turkey around ten times now! Quite by accident I found a little gem in Gumbet on the Bodrum Peninsula and have not been able to stop going back to the same place ever since! I usually go to Turkey in May or June as the weather is beautiful and hot but not too hot! I fly from Gatwick to Bodrum which takes just under four hours and then a 40 minute transfer to ‘The Bagevleri Hotel’
2 night break in Liverpool, UK
30 December 2010
I caught the train from Hastings to London Bridge, took the tube across to London Euston and then travelled for the rest of my journey from London Euston on a ‘Virgin’ train. I couldn’t believe it when that whole journey took only 5 hours and we arrived into Liverpool, all that way, so quickly and early! I was actually travelling to Liverpool for my annual conference where I stayed at the Premier
3 night break in an oasthouse in Wittersham, Kent, UK
16 December 2010
Me and a group of my friends wanted a little winter break to just ‘get away’ from everything. We wanted somewhere very near to where we lived so we didn’t have to travel too far! I found a gorgeous oasthouse in the peaceful countryside in Wittersham, Kent so I booked for us all to stay there for 3 nights in November 2009. We had such a lovely, relaxing time! We hardly did anything whils
Disneyland Paris, France
27 February 2009
I have been to Disneyland Paris four times now, lastly in April of this year and have stayed in both the Newport Bay and the Cheyenne Hotels. For the lower price, the Cheyenne Hotel is great, especially for kids as the rooms have a cowboy theme and it is set in a ‘Wild West’ town with shetland ponies and horses all roaming outside! Disneyland Paris just gets better each time. The Disneyland Par
London Theatre Break to see 'Oliver'
06 February 2009
When the new musical ‘Oliver’ started at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, some of my friends and family and I really wanted to see it so when I came across a really good offer for 2 nights in a hotel in London with tickets to see the show, we booked up straight away! We travelled up to London from Hastings by train and went straight to the 3* Royal National Hotel in London to check-in. It is a f
Marbella, Costa Del Sol, Spain
06 February 2009
I flew from Gatwick to Marbella on the Costa Del Sol (‘The Sunny Coast’) on the 21st November 2008 for my annual conference where I stayed at the 5* Melia Don Pepe Hotel for 3 nights. I must admit I was a little disappointed with this hotel as although in its day I think it would have been a fabulous, grand hotel, it now felt quite old fashioned and dated. The bedrooms were quite small for a 5*
'Atlantis The Palm' Hotel, Dubai
05 October 2008
I have been lucky enough to have stayed at the ‘Atlantis The Palm Hotel’ in Dubai for a week from the opening day … and WOW! What a place! I flew from Gatwick to Dubai with Emirates Airlines who were fantastic. The best airline I have ever flown with. A comfortable seat pitch and the excellent service made the 6.5 to 7 hour flight quite bearable!! Upon arrival in Dubai I was met by private t
Orlando, Florida
20 May 2008
Although it was some years ago I went to Florida, I still have very vivid memories of such a wonderful trip. I flew to Orlando with Virgin Atlantic which was a great way to start my holiday. The flight was excellent and we had our very own personal tv screens with loads of films and Nintendo games that kept us entertained during our flight. I stayed on International Drive which is the main
La Manga Club, Costa Calida, Spain
20 May 2008
I flew to Murcia for a five night break at the La Manga Club on the Costa Calida and what a lovely five nights in style I had! Flying into Murcia from Gatwick (taking around 2 hours), meant I only had to travel for around 30 minutes by taxi to get the La Manga Club. I stayed at the 5* Hyatt Regency Hotel which is the main hotel in the resort but there are also lots of self catering apartments,
