You Dream It. I’ll Plan It. Your Personal Travel Counsellor in Heywood

Hello and a very warm welcome. I am Laura, your personal Travel Counsellor, based in Heywood, Greater Manchester, where I live with my husband, Kurt, and our 7‑year‑old son, Gabriel. Oh and our 10 week old boarder collie, Tess :-)

Travel has always played a huge part in my life. I have been fortunate enough to explore a wide variety of destinations and create some truly unforgettable memories: honeymooning in the Maldives, chasing the Northern Lights in Iceland, watching the Ashes in Australia, swimming with turtles in Barbados, and clocking up what felt like a million steps a day at Disneyland Paris. For me, these experiences highlight that there really is something for everyone in the world of travel.

As a family, we regularly visit Spain and Greece for our summer holidays, often choosing a different island, region or resort each time so that we can keep discovering new favourites. With every trip I “tick off”, at least one or two more destinations get added to my ever‑growing bucket list, so I am always looking ahead to the next adventure.

I am extremely organised and thrive on the detail. I know first‑hand that planning a holiday can sometimes feel overwhelming, with so many options and opinions to sift through. That is exactly where I come in. I am here to listen, to understand what matters most to you, and to take care of all the time‑consuming research and comparison, so you do not have to.

Working with me means:

A completely bespoke, tailor‑made holiday designed around you
Full financial protection for complete peace of mind
Personal support from your own dedicated Travel Counsellor, including when you are away
Whether you are dreaming of a luxury honeymoon, a sun‑soaked family escape, a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure or a magical Disney break, I would love to help bring your plans to life.

I cannot wait to help you with your future travel plans, so please do get in touch and let us start building your perfect trip together.

From Stethoscopes to Suitcases – My Journey of Change (and Mild Panic)

From Stethoscopes to Suitcases – My Journey of Change (and Mild Panic)

Up until this week, I was working full-time in the NHS, where I'd spent the better part of 20 years deciphering doctor's handwriting, surviving back-to-back shifts, and learning how to drink coffee that was always cold. I never imagined I’d trade it all in for passports, packing lists, and researching which countries have the best cocktail-to-beach ratio. But here we are. Last year, I made a hug

Why September is a good time to travel

Whilst it has been a few years since I have been able to take advantage of some extremely good value options for travelling in September… I wanted to share some thoughts on why I feel it’s a perfect month to consider your travel options and some recommendations on places to visit. 1.

UK Breaks - London on a Budget

UK Breaks - London on a Budget

Whilst travelling the world is an amazing thought, there are also so many wonderful places to visit that are practically on our doorstep. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing I love more than a week on the beach, in the sun, sipping a cocktail (or two). But… I also love to explore the UK and see what we have to offer. UK mini breaks can be more budget friendly, shorter in duration (so time of

Disneyland Paris - The Converted

Disneyland Paris - The Converted

Earlier this year we (my husband and 5 year old son) were lucky enough to experience the magic that is Disneyland Paris. Our son is completely mad on anything superhero related and has recently been watching some Disney films too. As an adult, who has never been to Disney, I just wasn’t sure what to expect! I’m a beach, book and pina colada kind of girl and therefore whilst I was completely commi

Why book with me?

Why book with me?

A topic which I think is so important, (especially at the start of my TC journey) is to highlight a few reasons why I believe that you should book your next getaway with me! Apart from the fact I’m absolutely amazing…(ha ha), there are many reasons why I’d love us to work together on creating that next, one of a kind trip for you. Here are just a few: 1.

What my customers say

We have just returned home from a magical 3 night fun packed holiday in Disney Land Paris As a single parent and not speaking any French I felt a little nervous flying with my 3 young children, the youngest also has Down Syndrome and needs a little extra help but booking with Laura, all my worries and little niggles disappeared. Laura kept in touch from the beginning to the end of the trip and was only a text away if I needed her. She checked us in for our flights both ways, booked the seats and organised hotel transfers, she also gave us tips and tricks to make our stay at Disney extra special. The hotel was perfect for us as! Laura knew exactly what I was looking for, after many chats it became obvious Laura knew me well and what would suit us, and she got it spot on. My children have had a wonderful time and we have made beautiful memories for which I am extremely grateful for. Laura planned everything perfectly and took away all my stress. I cant wait to plan our next trip.

Laura was fantastic from start to finish when helping us book our family holiday to Turkey. She took the time to really understand our needs, asking about our budget, what we were looking for, and our previous holiday experiences before recommending a hotel that was absolutely perfect for both our family and my parents-in-law. Everything was arranged seamlessly, from the booking process through to check-in, and the whole trip ran incredibly smoothly. Her knowledge, attention to detail, and personal approach took all the stress out of holiday planning. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for exceptional travel advice and service.

Booking our holiday with Laura was a great experience from start to finish. She was really understanding of what we wanted from our holiday after asking all the right questions. Laura sent over some amazing holiday choices and after I changed my mind a few times on location she managed to find our perfect holiday. Laura was really organised and checked in with us before we went, whilst we were there and after we got home. The experience was great and we will definitely be booking our next holiday with Laura soon.

A huge thank you to Laura for helping us book yet another amazing holiday! This was our second holiday we've booked with her and once again she absolutely nailed it. Our trip to Protaras, Cyprus was perfect from start to finish, and we came home with the most incredible memories. Laura always makes the whole booking process so easy and finds exactly what we are looking for. We wouldn't book with anyone else and are already working together to book our next holiday! Highly recommend Laura if you want a stress-free holiday with fantastic service.

Laura was absolutely fabulous! I asked her to plan an itinerary in South Africa based on wanting to travel the garden route and go on safari. Laura planned everything for us, within budget, and made tweaks to the original schedule based on some feedback I'd gathered off others. Laura made the whole process super easy and slick. Everything was loaded into an app for easy access, all we had to do was turn up at the right place on the right day - everything else was already done for us! Laura had contacted all our hotels ahead of our visit and left cute notes, which was a really nice touch. I contacted Laura to let her know we were staying at one of the locations an extra night and she rang ahead to let the original hotel know. Nothing was too much for her and I really appreciate all her help, careful planning and knowledge on the best areas to stay. I will 100% be using Laura again to plan another trip for us... we just have to wait until our newborn is a little older before we can explore more of the world.

A huge thank you to Laura Bramfitt at Travel Counsellors for booking our holiday to Ibiza! From start to finish, she was so thorough, kept us updated every step of the way, and made the whole process completely stress-free. It was such a lovely surprise to receive a thoughtful goodie bag and a handwritten postcard thanking us too – such a personal touch that really shows how much she cares about her clients. We really appreciate everything you’ve done, Laura, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to book their next holiday. Thank you again Best regards

From looking too booking, Laura was extremely helpful, looked up all the info she could on the hotels she suggested to me, very informative, very polite and patient ( because I’m not the best with technology) she helped me through the booking app, and explained were to find payments when needed, will definitely be in touch with Laura again.

Laura was super helpful and understood what we needed for our family holiday. Providing the reviews and the detail of location of hotels (whether they were remote or not) was something you wouldn’t get from booking a holiday on line.

Judith B

Our holiday was absolutely flawless from start to finish. The itinerary was perfect. The seamless logistics took all the stress out of our trip, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy every moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking again. Laura ensured that the experience was personable and adapted to a changing landscape, ensuring our last minute destination change was completed with no additional stress. 100% recommend. I look forward to booking my honeymoon with Laura.

Laura was brilliant when booking our trip to Disneyland Paris! I had no clue how to best go about it when looking myself, so I was so glad for Laura’s help! No question was too much trouble, and Laura even looked into allergies for me as my son had a tree nut allergy. Really friendly and approachable to deal with too.

Laura was amazing from start to finish when organising our Caribbean Cruise - checking in with us before, during and after the holiday for a real personalised service. She lives and breathes holidays and goes the extra mile to ensure you have the best time possible. She genuinely wants you to have a great holiday and her enthusiasm is infectious! Booking through an operator also give you total peace of mind and takes away the hassle. Would totally recommend Laura!

Laura provided a brilliant, stress free experience from start to finish and her attention to detail was above and beyond. The kids loved their little luggage tag gifts and the welcome note at the hotel was lovely.
