Where your next escape begins.....

Hi. I’m Mags and I live in Tytherington, Macclesfield.

I have over 30 years’ experience of travelling the world and experiencing differing cultures. I have been a Travel Counsellor for 12 years, 11 of which I have been a Gold Travel Counsellor which means I am in the top performing 10% of the business. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to use my knowledge, my love and passion for travel to help you with your future travel and holiday plans whether in the UK or abroad.

I am fortunate to have travelled all over the world, including Australia, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, South America, Japan, South Africa, South East Asia and the Maldives. I have also travelled extensively in Europe - in particular Greece, Italy and Croatia.

As a Gold Travel Counsellor, my business relies on delighting my customers with the service I provide - not just meeting your expectations but exceeding them and going that extra mile to make sure your trip is perfect. I do my customers' Advanced Passenger Information (APIs), provide destination guides/podcasts, online check-in, and when you are away, I am always on the end of the telephone should you need assistance.

With the industry leading technology of Travel Counsellors, I can assist you with any and all travel arrangements including tailor-made holidays, package holidays, weekend breaks, ski holidays, business travel, cruises, air or ferry travel, UK and worldwide hotels, airport parking and airport lounge access, as well as travel insurance.

I work around you, so if you want to contact me in the evening or at the weekend then that works for me. I’m also happy to meet you face to face or on Teams to understand your requirements if you’d prefer- I know it’s sometimes nice to see who you are talking to!

So, whatever it is you are thinking of - from that crucial business trip, to a weekend theatre break in London or a long weekend on Broadway; to an escape to a beautiful white sandy beach next to the ocean, that active family holiday, to that trip of a lifetime around the world, I’d be delighted to talk to you and understand your needs. I can then work with you to give you wonderful memories and experiences you will cherish forever.

Our Gold Weekend in Hong Kong

Our Gold Weekend in Hong Kong

My trip started from Manchester flying Business Class with Turkish Airlines – with their onboard chef, the food was amazing and great service too. Once I left Istanbul with two colleagues, I was glad of my lie-flat bed for our overnight flight, heading towards one of the world’s most buzzing and exotic cities, Hong Kong where our Travel Counsellor’s Gold Weekend was being held. Hong Kong is home t

Hard Rock Hotel, Tenerife

Hard Rock Hotel, Tenerife

I visited Hard Rock Hotel, Tenerife with a colleague for 4 nights at the end of April this year – for a few days relaxation after a busy start to the year, and to see if the hotel lived up to the Hard Rock brand. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty, greeted with a refreshing drink and shown to our room. Every staff member went above and beyond – their customer service is e

Eclipse & Normandy Landings!

We arrived early for check-in as we’d stayed overnight in Southampton. Check-in with smooth, although those who arrived later did not enjoy such a smooth transition through security. On board, the scale, grandeur and luxury were apparent from the moment of boarding. From the stunning outdoor pool and Jacuzzis on the top deck – number sixteen – to the half-acre of lush green lawn on the top dec

Iconic Istanbul

Iconic Istanbul

I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to visit the wonderful city of Istanbul at the end of October with some Travel Counsellor colleagues. We travelled from Manchester with Turkish Airlines Business Class service into Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport which is on the European side of the Bosporus. Turkish Airlines have direct flights from Manchester, London and Birmingham and, with great

Haven't used or, indeed, heard of Travel Counsellors until recently. I am sure Mags will be helping to organise more holidays for us.

E Seymour

R Selby

Warrington

Excellent response to my enquiry. I was very impressed how you reacted you took all the hard work out of my hands and delivered first class service.

A Green

Macclesfield

Mags took all my requirements in to consideration and was able to come back to me with a couple of options to pick from and then in the detail show three packages for cost comparison. Completely at ease with the knowledge and recommendations from Mags and looking forward to the holiday already.

M Crawford

Uttoxeter

I've found your service invaluable, and learnt the hard way last year when I booked a local flight and it all got cancelled and was on my own to sort it out. Now I will always book through you as I know I'll get great service and be well looked after.

Pamela Lob

Bollington, Macclesfield

Mags was recommended to us by a friend, we had never used such a service previously; always booking and arranging holidays ourselves. I wished we had known about it much earlier. She booked us a week's trip to the Cape Town area and quite simply it is the best holiday we have had. In seven days we got to spend three in the city, one in the wine region, one on the coast and two on a game reserve. All the hotels were amazing and delivered top locations and unique characteristics rather than bland chain hotels. Nothing was too much trouble with car hire booked, APIs arranged and even a courtesy call when one of our cases was delayed to see if we were ok. The level of service and attentiveness was outstanding and highly recommended.

Debbie Attwood

Colwyn Bay

Well what can I say. I met Mags only a few years ago in the gym and through a friend. Well I wish we had met her years ago. A truly exceptional, professional amazing lady. Full of knowledge, very friendly and approachable and second to none. We are currently at the One and Only in Dubai, and I have to say Mags is definitely a unique fantastic one and only travel consultant. Superb and reliable just makes a holiday less stress free and more enjoyable. Thanks Mags.

Emma Jayne Bolshaw

Macclesfield

Mags was recommended to me by a friend and I can see why. We knew where we wanted to go, but due to the location, Vietnam, I didn't really know where to start. In the past I have put together holidays but this time I was struggling, not sure why and time was passing rather quickly, when my friend suggested using Mags. I gave her our dates and an outline of where we wanted to go - literally within 24 hours I had an itinerary and options. Me and kids tweaked what we had and within a week we have holiday booked and getting excited about. The communication and advice has been faultless and I would definitely recommend and use Mags expertise again.

Rachel Browne

Warrington, Cheshire

Mags has been so helpful, friendly and the service was brilliant. We can’t thank her enough. I’ve already recommended her and will definitely use Mags again. It made life so easy and the holiday is brilliant value for money.

Sophia Lawrie

Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands

Mags is in my eyes a superhero! She makes booking a holiday so simple and painless and for me. It’s by far, the most convenient way to book a break. She answers my random requests in minutes and provides a perfect set of options for me to choose from. She gets it right every time and has, over the years got to know exactly what I expect. Having a baby means less time to do anything and Mags literally takes care of everything including checking us in and printing our boarding passes. I can’t recommend Mags highly enough, my holiday hero!

Emma Wilson

Congleton, Cheshire

We wanted a trip to Canada that incorporated Vancouver, an Alaskan Cruise and Vancouver Island. We new nothing about the island, only that it is absolutely worth a visit. We had the most incredible holiday, seamlessly coordinated by Mags and with wonderful accommodation. The occasional upgrades were added bonuses, and really made our holiday complete. So many thanks, you were recommended to us by family and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone Mags.

Janet Greenhalgh

Sale, Cheshire

Used Mags for a few years now, she always responds quickly and no matter what we want she finds it at a great price. Nothing ever too much for her and if problems arise she’s there to give all the help she can. Lovely helpful person, highly recommend using her.

Susan Thompson

Stone, Staffordshire

My family of five have used Mags twice now for a family holiday, one to India and just last November to Ecuador, the Napo Wildlife Centre and the Galápagos Islands. She is fantastic to deal with and has always come up with ideas, taking in our needs to make the holidays memorable. Without doubt I can recommend her to anyone looking to have advice and support throughout a holiday booking from beginning to end.

Joyce Haworth

Blackpool

The holiday that Mags organised for us in New England and Washington in 2017 was a trip of a lifetime. This was down to the suggestions she made and her organisation skills. I had no hesitation in recommending her to friends.

Gillian Cameron

Stockport, Cheshire

Mags always goes out of her way to help with flights and transfers and offers plenty of advice when it comes to hotel choices! The level of service offered is unrivalled.
