It's Nice To Meet You
I'm Claire, I live in Uckfield, East Sussex with my husband Paul and our two children Emily and George. I have been in travel for 30 years and have a real passion for the industry. I would love to be able to use my experience and expertise to help you find your perfect holiday, whether that's a weekend break or that long awaited round the world trip of a lifetime - I'm here to help and advise.
As a Travel Counsellor my business relies on the service I provide and I will go that extra mile to ensure I exceed your expectations. Working from home allows me to be available at a time that suits you, often the 9-5.30 high street hours doesn't suit everyone, therefore I feel being available 24-7 is the perfect solution.
During my 30 years I've travelled to many places including Sri Lanka, Maldives, Kenya, Mombasa, Jordan, Thailand, USA including New York, Boston, California, Las Vegas, New England, Jamaica, Canary Islands, mainland Spain, Balearics, Cyprus, Greece, France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Amsterdam, Sweden and Marrakech.
Please feel free to call me at a time that suits you, I will be more than happy to help!
Thanks
Claire

I can’t recommend Claire highly enough! If you have an idea of where you want to go and what you want to do, Claire will then do all the hard work putting a package together and will come back to you with a variety of options to suit every budget.
On the flip side, if you have no idea what you are looking for, Claire has so much experience and inspiration to help you find something amazing!
In addition, Claire has also provided excellent support from the initial contact and even after we have returned home!
The support and kindness Claire has shown us when booking a number of holidays with her has been outstanding and above and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble and I have no hesitation in recommending her!

Fantastic holiday to Vietnam
We contacted Claire to ask her ideas for a two week holiday for November 2019, to include several days sightseeing and touring, with a few days at the end , to relax at a good beach resort! As usual Claire went off, did lots of research and came up with various itineraries. After lots of questions and various alterations to suit our needs, we settled on a 15 day package, taking in three cities, a 24 hour boat cruise and 5 nights at a luxurious hotel on the island of Phu Quoc! All flights,transfers and many taxis throughout the trip went like clockwork! All the guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very considerate and helpful! The hotels chosen were of an excellent standard, the Halong Bay trip was not to be missed and the beach resort in Phu Quoc was amazing! Claire’s assistance in arranging our Vietnamese experience , ensured we enjoyed yet another wonderful holiday, with her continued excellent customer service!

Massive thank you to Claire Coleman for helping us plan a wonderful holiday.
We had a rough idea of what we wanted - we knew where we wanted to go and how long for. Claire came up with different combinations of flights, stopovers and hotels until will had the perfect trip ( Gatwick - Dubai (change planes), Singapore (3 night stopover) - Perth. Then Perth - Singapore ( change planes) - Dubai ( 3 night stopover) - Gatwick.
The hotels she found for us were perfect and in great locations for sightseeing and getting around.
It was so reassuring knowing that Claire was at the end of the phone rather than a faceless person in a call centre should we have and problems (which we didn't). We received text confirmation before each airport / hotel / airport transfer confirming the arrangements. The whole experience was seamless.
I can not recommend Claire Coleman at Travel Counsellors enough, she helped us plan an amazing holiday that was within our budget. Thank you Claire.

We have been planning our wedding and honeymoon for the past 2 years and Claire couldn’t have been more helpful. We have our budget and within days we had page after page of all different honeymoons we could go on. We’re now 1 week away from our dream holiday to Cuba and disaster hits our family with a bereavement. We contacted Claire as we needed to postpone our trip and this is where having a travel counsellor made the grieving process so much easier. Claire escalated our booking and we were lucky enough that our honeymoon could be postponed for a few days. Heaven knows the stress we would have had having to sort it out our selves. If you haven’t booked yet we would thoroughly recommend as when you book, you are made to feel like a client rather than an order number.

Claire arranged our flights to New Zealand in December. She took away any worry and stress, organising exit seats with extra legroom for us. We couldn’t have a got a better price if we’d searched ourselves. Even the luggage labels were already written out when she dropped the tickets off! She proved to be a godsend when I had an accident a few days before returning home. She liaised with my insurance company and between them they arranged an upgrade so I flew home in comfort, even with my leg in a splint. I would thoroughly recommend booking your next holiday or flight through Claire.

Claire has spent her snow days and sick days searching high and low for a summer holiday for us. I had such a long list of requirements - somewhere we hadn’t been, proper beds for everyone, not too busy but enough to do, beautiful beaches, decent flight times, from Gatwick etc. She even knows I need the decor to be modern and unfussy!
Even when it looked like I’d have to accept some chintz in the villa she refused to give up!
And the best bit - it doesn’t cost me a penny more on my holiday. Claire even takes care of advising the airline of George and Alice’s nut allergies.
You don’t have to be local to use her services. We did it all through email and Messenger.

Claire is a breath of fresh air. Travel agents are all too often unable to think creatively, but rather prefer to be guided by the client as to their preferred destination.

Barcelona City Break
