Personal, experienced travel planning, crafted around you and your world.
About me
Hello, I am Clare, your personal Travel Counsellor.
I have worked in travel for 33 years and spent more than 20 of those running my own business with Travel Counsellors. In that time I have helped clients with everything from simple weekends away to once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventures, always with the same aim: to make travel feel exciting, effortless and completely tailored to you.
My love of travel started in childhood when my family moved to Germany and we spent weekends driving around Europe, discovering new places together. Those early journeys sparked a curiosity about the world that never left me and led me to begin my career in the early 1990s with Thomas Cook.
Over the years I moved into luxury and long‑haul holidays and became a 24‑hour UK Duty Manager, supporting customers whenever they needed help. That role shaped how I work today: calm, caring and always in the background, so you never feel on your own if something unexpected happens.
How I work
I believe the best holidays start with a proper conversation. I will take the time to get to know you: how you like to travel, what you enjoy, what you prefer to avoid, and what a “perfect break” looks like in your world. From there, I design a trip around you rather than trying to fit you into something off the shelf.
I work closely with trusted partners, hotels and airlines around the globe, which means I can often add thoughtful touches and extra value where it really matters. It might be a room with just the right view, a seamless private transfer, a special restaurant recommendation or a unique experience you might not have found on your own.
You will have one point of contact from start to finish. I take care of the research, planning and organisation, leaving you free to simply look forward to going away.
What I can help with
Across three decades I have arranged a wide variety of trips, including:
Relaxing beach escapes and winter sun
Luxury tailor‑made itineraries and multi‑centre holidays
City breaks, culture‑rich weekends and special‑occasion stays
Ocean and river cruises, plus touring holidays
Ski and winter experiences
Family getaways, groups and milestone celebrations
Whether you are travelling as a couple, with family or friends, or on your own, I will build something that fits around your life, your budget and your priorities.
Why my clients choose me
Many of my clients have been booking with me for years and regularly recommend me to their friends and family. They tell me they value:
My experience, honest advice and attention to detail
The peace of mind of having someone they know and trust on hand
The time and stress saved by having everything taken care of
The personal touches that make their holiday feel uniquely “theirs”
If you are starting to think about your next trip, I would be delighted to help you bring it to life.

A Long Weekend on the Italian Riviera: Santa Margherita, Portofino & Cinque Terre
I have just got back from a 3 night break on the Italian Riviera, staying in Santa Margherita Ligure with visits to Portofino, the Cinque Terre, Rapallo and a little hidden gem called Camogli. It was one of those trips that felt easy, relaxed and full of ‘wow’ views. In this blog I am sharing what we did, what I loved and a few honest tips if you are thinking about something similar.

Clare was very helpful giving us a range of options across different budgets.

Once we had made the exciting decision to visit family in Australia, Clare was the first point of contact to help with arrangements and offer advice. We had the dates booked off work but were open to ideas and recommendations from Clare on flight times, places to stop over and hotels when we were there. Clare knew exactly what hotel would suit our girls (age 13 and 10) for a stopover in Dubai, and when we reached Sydney, We were all grateful for the recommendation of a spacious two bed hotel room and chance to sleep off the jet lag. We had an amazing 3 weeks in Australia and little touches like welcome notes from Clare at each hotel stop were well received and Clare was on hand to sort out a minor query on flights while we were away. I’m not sure we would get that level of support elsewhere. It’s an exciting time booking a holiday, but it can leave you with endless questions and doubts when going so far and spending so much money! Clare helped take the worry away, I trusted her advice, and we all had a holiday of a lifetime. I would highly recommend Clare for help with any travel needs

Nothing is too much trouble for Clare and I have had to change planned itineraries due to my work schedules and Clare has taken the changes in her stride and come up with fantastic solutions. Clare is always friendly and nothing is too much trouble. She even emailed friends in Sydney to pass on some useful tips for our planned trip there. I would always use Clare and her wealth of knowledge. I know I can say I want to go to a particular destination and just leave it with her to come up with ideas I would never have dreamed of.

Clare was recommended to me by a friend who had said that Clare helps her with her holidays, from the start Clare has made tailoring our holiday a dream come true. I had started to look online for ideas but it’s always good to get someone who knows what their talking about, I will be recommending Clare to all my friends and family. Thank you Clare.

We always get fantastic service from Clare from our initial enquiry through the whole process. Including once when we were delayed by 24 hours at Sharm el Sheikh airport, I rang Clare in a panic and she swung into action sorting things out for us. Now you don't get that by booking online! I would recommend her without hesitation.

A fantastic person to work with when making the important and expensive decisions - Holiday travel. For me I want fact and reliability when organising my travel and Clare, over the years, has delivered just that. All questions answered quickly and Clare always did what Clare said she would do. It’s been a pleasure and I hope this will continue in the future.

Ellen and I send our thanks to you for arranging our fabulous break in Palma. The hotel was first class and it is really nice to stay in a hotel where they treat you so well. The fast track at the airport was a great help as the queue was very very long so thanks for that as well. The week went far too quickly !!

Clare spent a lot of time getting our honeymoon exactly right and I have 100 percent trust in her that our holiday will be amazing! I'm very fussy and a real detail person so I kept going back saying I wasn't happy with this hotel and that hotel for all sorts of reasons, but she had loads of patience and even reassured me that it was important to get it right and I was not to worry about the amount of time she was spending on it. She succeeded where others didn't. We had already booked our flights to Nairobi as my fiance has a British Airways gold card and wanted to upgrade us using his points. I needed the bit 'in the middle' sorting out - a safari and beach holiday. A friend who works at Thomas Cook couldn't help at all and Kuoni took all the details and never even rang me back! I had decided to get three quotes but it was obviously a challenge for a travel agent - one which Clare rose to admirably!

I contacted Clare on a recommendation from someone that had received travel arrangements by Clare and that person could not speak highly enough of her, so I thought I would give Clare a chance to plan my travel arrangements for me and all I can say is that within an hour of contacting her my holiday was completed and all I did was make a phone call. The service I recieved was exceptional and went way beyond what I had expected. Clare I will be contacting you for my travel arrangements every time - a BIG thank you.

Clare has been booking holidays for my husband and self for a number of years. She knows exactly the type of holiday that will appeal to us both and with her vast knowledge of travel has always found us a wonderful holiday. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for her. Even the smallest query on our part is dealt with efficiently and on our recommendation she now books holidays for our friends. Pauline and Dave Devonport

She has always been able to introduce us to new places and to find out as much information in order to ensure that we have an enjoyable holiday. She is very approachable and easy to get hold of. We will continue to book our family holidays with Clare and would certainly recommend her to friends.

For a few years now Clare has taken all the stress and strain off us booking our flights and stopovers to New Zealand to visit family. She will always try and find us the best and most economical airline. Nothing is too much trouble. Its always comforting to know that she is on the other end of the phone if we ever need her when we are on the other side of the world.

Clare has been extremely helpful and at times patient with us in booking our trips. She really impressed us when the firm we booked our Candaian skiing trip got into financial difficulties Clare was first to know they were in trouble and immediately rebooked the trip through an alternative firm, negotiating the same price and even liased direct with the hotel to confirm the room we had requested. Did this all proactively and advised us after the event that it was all taken care of. The knowledge she brings to both the choice of holiday and extras linked to each trip means we can relax and know everything is taken care of and that we won't be disappointed when we arrive.

We decided to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary with a special touring holiday in South Africa. This involved various internal flights, private collection to & from airports. Rental cars and a very special choice of hotels around Cape Town and the Garden Route. In every aspect the arrangements were absolutely perfect and the choice of hotels was beyond our expectations in every way. Fabulous job

I have found Clare Lockett to be really professional and informative. Clare, always ensures that she thoroughly researches the market to ensure that the right holiday at the best price is found for me. Nothing is to much trouble and the ease of speaking to the same person all of the time is wonderful, as she already knows the standard of holiday I am expecting , how many are in my party, and our special requests before we have to tell her. Whenever we ring Clare she always calls me back immediately, and nothing is ever to much for her to do, regardless of the requests we give her. Excellent Service.
