Available for new enquiries
It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, my name is Linda and, for 30 years, I have been providing my clients with specialist advice and planning holidays they will never forget. My clients come back again and again because they value the personal service, attention to detail and the hassle-free experience I provide them with every time they have a trip to arrange.
I have travelled to numerous places myself, Canada being one of my favourite countries for the sheer beauty and size. Sri Lanka and the Maldives are another firm favourites. South Africa, Thailand, Malaysia including Borneo to see Oran Utans. I have also travelled extensively in Europe, the Greek Islands being a firm favourite there.
I am passionate about my job. I really enjoy doing a complicated itinerary for someone whether its to New Zealand, Australia Canada, South Africa or anywhere, I research everything so my clients receive competitive quotes from reliable suppliers. Along with my personal bespoke service to ensure their holiday goes without a hitch.
I am at the end of the phone should you have a problem whilst you are away, so you have peace of mind, knowing I am available at any time.
You could book all the elements yourself - but if you don’t want to spend hours on the internet, phone or in the travel agents and you want the reassurance of total financial protection. Why not try giving me a call about your next trip? Call me on 01753 202920 and let me take away the pain of planning and the risk of getting it wrong.

This was my first experience of using a travel councillor to help me book a holiday. I'm not overly confident in booking holidays over the internet but I am extremely pleased that I was introduced to Linda. She was extremely helpful and managed to 'sort' a holiday for me and my husband on the date and destination that was our first choice. Linda obviously has a wealth of knowledge regarding holidays and resorts and this shone through whilst we were talking. I would recommend her to friends and relations with the confidence that they would not find fault with anything that she does. I might add also that it was great to be able to talk to someone rather than just press buttons on a computer and then panic that you might have done domething wrong!! Linda we will definitely call you again. Jan & Rob Giles.

Linda was brilliant. She asked what we wanted and our budget and immediately started working on our dream holiday to South Africa. She did far better than we could have done alone or with a travel agent because she knows the area and all the lovely places to go that many others may not. Our final itinerary was far better than we could have imagined and well on budget. Now we can’t wait for our South African Pride adventure. Thank you Linda.

We have had years of " beyond the normal call of duty" from Linda and have placed all but one of our holidays with her over the last ( don't ask) years .

If ( very rarely) something is not feasible for her she will tell you and do her best to find an alternative.

Linda has been extremely helpful with her advice and guidance with regard to our fondness for cruising. We have been loyal to Cunard, because we like their style and service, and Linda has been able to discuss with us the best arrangements to suit our particular arrangements.
Last year she invited us to visit a new celebrity cruise line, with a tour and lunch on board, to see what else was available in the cruise market. This was good for us to be able to obtain an overall picture.
But we do not just cruise. In 2009, she arranged for us to visit Kenya with a game safari, at two camps, and also to visit Hemingways resort for several days on the coast. We again only gave her a rough idea with suggestions, and she put a superb package together.
In 2012 we visited friends in Singapore and then joined The Eastern Orient Express for the overland trip of 2 days to Bangkok. We were only going to be in Bangkok for approx. 30 hours before our return flight to the UK, but in that short time she arranged in advance for us to visit The Royal Palace and Golden Temple. We did manage ourselves to have a trip on the river, which flowed alongside the lovely hotel that she organised for us with wonderful views of Bangkok.
It is so important in our opinion to be able to discuss with a Travel Counsellor, our travel arrangements that we would like to undertake, and be guided as to the best way forward.

We have known Lin from before her Travel Counsellors days using her for booking our Holidays whether near to home or for Long Haul.
Very much as a friend as well as an advisor for land and cruise holidays
We were quite upset when she left her previous company, but where happy to follow her to Travel Counsellors for her expertise.
She has found us some fantastic Land based Holidays and we booked our truly wonderful Honeymoon through her some 5 years ago.
We started our cruising holidays after my Sister had said how good they were and that we would enjoy it, back in 2001 and have been cruising ever since.
She has found us some stupendous cruise deals with (2 with exceptional OBC), but not all have been the absolute cheapest but she has had the patience to work with us.
We have taken the odd no brainer option and booked with another agent, but have always returned to Lin.
Where she could give us a keener price (at cost to herself) she has done so within the rules of the game.
In addition to identifying cruise deals, she has introduced us to smaller ship cruising, with more select itineraries and more inclusive deals- often more effective than the larger Cruise lines ‘bums on seats and charge everything extra approach’.
The service from Lin has always been excellent and exemplary, but on one occasion, outstanding. When we were en-route to Auckland for a (New Zealand to Australia Cruise) Celebrity cancelled the cruise due to engine problems with Celebrity Millennium. Lin worked tirelessly out of hours (8 hours time difference) to find us an alternative land based option in New Zealand.
All this was carried out with efficiency and humour.
Whenever Lin is away on holiday, we are always given a contact, for help if needed.
