My name is Lesley and I’m an independent travel consultant with Travel Counsellors. Being independent means I am able to offer completely impartial, obligation-free, travel advice.
As part of the Travel Counsellors family, I have access to their special relationships with airlines and preferential rates with thousands of suppliers all over the world. There’s no longer a reason to spend endless hours searching online or stand needlessly waiting in a travel agency, I am available to discuss your personal travel requirements, at your convenience, including evenings and weekends, and can offer everything you can find on the high street and more.
The other good news is, absolutely every part of your trip booked through me is 100% financially protected, through either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, which is the best in the business. It means that you have complete peace of mind that your money is safe.
Originally from London, I have also lived in Australia and currently reside in rural South Lanarkshire with my 3 children, a stone’s throw from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Before having children I travelled extensively, having visited more than 20 countries across 5 continents, so I’m no stranger to overseas adventures. After becoming a parent, my passion for travel didn’t change but my travel needs did - it’s amazing how something seemingly trivial can make or break a holiday with young children (I had 3 under 2 years old at one point!) so I truly appreciate that everyone’s needs are unique. You can rest assured I will research every tiny detail to make your trip perfect for you and ensure you are well looked after, not only before, but during and after your holiday too, and best of all - this comes at no extra cost to you.
So whether you are looking for a family holiday, cruise, adventure holiday, overseas wedding, honeymoon or any other trip, I would love to talk to you either in person over a coffee, over the phone, via email or even Skype about what you are looking for. I can then create a bespoke, tailor-made holiday that meets all of your needs and more, whilst taking away all the stress of researching and booking, leaving you to simply enjoy counting down the days.

Whatever your holiday needs I'm here to help you, so simply give me a call or send me an email with your contact details on and I can get things started for you:

We're back from a fabulous adventure in Italy; thank you so much for organising it, Lesley. Your suggestion of staying in Venice for the last day to solve the flight home issue was the best idea ever - a fantastic ending to our holiday!

Thanks so much for sorting everything out so thoroughly Lesley. The villa was lovely, all connections etc were fantastic with not even 1 second waiting.
Can’t believe how easy you made everything! We also paid less than our neighbours! You really went the extra mile; can’t wait for the next one.

Thank you for booking us an awesome holiday in Croatia. Managing to cater for a toddler and a (almost) teenager is not a simple task... and they both loved it. I’m so glad you suggested we get a car too... it changed the holiday into more of an adventure. Thank you.

Booking a trip to California as a surprise for my husband's 50th was a real challenge but Lesley made the whole thing so simple. Nothing was too much trouble and the trip was amazing. Will definitely be in touch for booking our next holiday. Thanks again for everything Lesley - it really was a fabulous trip!

Lesley helped me book a short break to Rome and I'll definitely get her to arrange my next trip! I'm quite picky about what I want, so it can take ages to research and book my own travel. With Lesley as my travel agent, I gave her examples of places I've stayed in the past, what I liked about them, what I didn't, and she did all the legwork and came back with a shortlist of options to choose between with pros and cons of each, making it easy for me. When I made my decision, she took care of dealing with the hotel, the airline and the transfers and even handled airport check-ins. It was like having a PA book my travel, I only had to pay once through the Travel Counsellors app and it didn't cost any more than booking it myself. I can't think of a single drawback!

We used Lesley from travel counsellors to help organise our family trip to Orlando. Lesley was a fantastic source of information and really helped us to get the best out of our time in Florida. We had a fantastic memorable trip - for all the right reasons and everything went smoothly. Thank you so much! Would definitely recommend, and definitely use her again in the future. 10 out of 10.

Friendly helpful service, Lesley was able to help us find a location and accommodation in a country we had never been to before therefore had no knowledge of where was the best place to visit for our needs. 10 out of 10

A totally brilliant service and one that I would highly recommend. Think of it as having access to your own personal travel agent, available when you need to search for a holiday. Everything is researched for you, questions answered efficiently. Give it a go, you really have nothing to lose. 10 out of 10

Lesley made the whole process of looking for and booking a short break holiday completely fuss free. We had very specific needs and all were met within a tight budget. If I hadn’t spoken to her I’m sure I would still be faffing about getting frustrated trying to find something. Absolute top marks. 10 out of 10
