It's Nice To Meet You
I'm Claire, your dedicated Travel Counsellor, based in Uckfield, East Sussex, where I live with my husband Paul and our two children, Emily and George. With over 30 years in the travel industry, I bring a genuine passion for creating unforgettable holidays, drawing on a wealth of experience and first-hand knowledge of destinations across the globe.

Travel has always been more than my career: it’s my lifelong passion. Whether you’re planning a relaxing weekend break or the round-the-world adventure of a lifetime, I am here to listen, inspire, and guide you every step of the way. My promise is simple: to use my expertise to craft your perfect getaway, tailored precisely to your needs and dreams.

As a proud Travel Counsellor, my business is built on delivering exceptional, personal service. I believe in going the extra mile to exceed your expectations. Working from home means I can be truly flexible for my clients — I understand life doesn’t always fit into typical high street hours. That’s why I’m available whenever you need me, offering support and advice at a time that works for you.

Over the last three decades, I’ve been fortunate to explore an incredible variety of destinations: from the iconic wildlife of Kenya and the tranquil shores of the Maldives and Sri Lanka, through to cultural journeys in Jordan and Thailand, countless adventures in the USA, and sun-soaked escapes around Europe and beyond.

Wherever you’d like to go next, I’m here to help make it truly special. Please feel free to call me at a time that suits you — I’ll always be delighted to help plan your next extraordinary journey.

Thank you,
Claire

Barcelona City Break

Barcelona City Break

I wanted to take Paul and the kids away for a city break so we opted for Barcelona. I managed to find really good flights travelling in April with Easyjet, and we opted for the 4* Aramunt Apartments in the Eixample district for 3 nights. Our flights departed on time and we were in Barcelona within 3 hours. I hadn't pre-booked an airport transfer as it seemed quite pricey, so I was a bit concerned

Drago Park Hotel - Costa Calma

I was fortunate enough to win a 4-night break to the 4* Drago Park, Costa Calma at our annual conference so decided me and my sister would leave our husbands and kids at home and take advantage of some R&R. Having visited Fuerteventura before I was looking forward to seeing a different resort. We opted to travel at the end of March and managed to pick up bargain flights with EasyJet for only £65p

Al Fresco Holiday

Al Fresco Holiday

Every year I am always my worst client, trying to find the perfect holiday for my family, I always want 5* for 3* prices! We normally have a camping holiday in stunning Cornwall with friends, and then an all-inclusive holiday somewhere in the Med. Last year our camping trip was a bit of a washout thanks to the unpredictable British summer, so this year we decided to try something completely differ

Family Holiday to Zante

This was our first visit to Zante and we weren't disappointed. Our home for seven nights was the Smartline Margarita in Laganas. I had done a lot of research prior to booking and had previously sent some friends here, who came home with very positive feedback. We were allocated our room for the week, and initial impressions were good! Our view was out over the front of the hotel with fields an

My Swedish Lapland Adventure

My Swedish Lapland Adventure

I was given the opportunity to sample the delights of Swedish Lapland courtesy of Simply Sweden and to say I was excited was an understatement. Most people hear the word Lapland and will almost certainly think of Father Christmas. Swedish Lapland is completely different and you will not see the big man himself here! Our home for the next 3 nights was the 3* Hotel Akerlund located in Jokkmok, a

Marrakesh & Essaouira

I was really excited to be on the Trip to Marrakesh and Essaouira with 40 fellow Travel Counsellors. It was always somewhere I wanted to explore but never got round to it. My journey started on the 22nd March with the early flight out of Gatwick to Marrakesh. Upon arrival we were greeted by our hosts for the next few days and taken straight to the Movenpick Hotel Mansour Eddhabi, our home for t

What my customers say

I don’t think we’ll ever use a high street travel agent again! Why? Well here is our list of reasons… 1/ It was easy to just pass over our list of ‘would likes’ and ‘not likes’ Claire did a great job returning a pretty wide choice of options that fit the bill! 2/ Soon after, we received a personal call just to introduce herself and further explore our needs, whilst prompting other details we had overlooked. 3/ Claire obviously has a wealth of knowledge about her industry and gave us comfort and un-thought off reminders about the logistics and process of our trip. 4/ I liken it to having our own ‘personal shopper’ to 100% plan and organise everything about our holiday, even to the degree of arranging particular flight seating for us! Definitely a 10 out of 10 from us and we will also be sharing our experience around the table at dinner parties! ?? Thank you Andy & Amanda February 2025

Claire has been absolutely amazing in finding us the perfect holiday. After a friendly phone call, she got straight to work and had found us some fantastic places after just a few days. We had quite specific ideas about where we wanted to go and what facilities we wanted included and Claire listened and found us some great options which ticked all the boxes. We highly recommend Claire and will be using her for all our future holiday hunting!
