I'll begin by telling you a little about me and what I love about holidays? Then, we'll get on to the most important part. You!
Born, brought up and live in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. I take care of your travel needs and dreams for you, wherever you live. I have customers locally, nationally and internationally. I am a travel agent. But I'm also much more besides. I am a Travel Counsellor. Which means I don't work set hours. I am available for customers at a time that suits you, to talk about your travel arrangements and should the need arise, I work anytime and anytime zone. For 38 years, travel has been my passion. How lucky am I to have spent so many years steeped in a world I love? The world of travel!
I've had the most wonderful time – experiencing and sharing some of the world's most exciting, breath taking and unforgettable locations with people like you. Using my knowledge and expertise, I arrange all kinds of trips, breaks, holidays, honeymoons, mini-moons, cruises, bespoke holidays, special occasion holidays and holiday extras. When you and I work together, you'll enjoy the added peace of mind that everything booked is financially protected - so important these days. Your travel arrangements and money are in the safest hands possible!
From the moment we start talking to the day you arrive home from your holiday, I'm here to take care of you – always in touch, always at your side. That's my USP. At the best of times, travel can be unpredictable – after all, that’s half the fun! Once booked, should the unforeseen happen, don't worry. Rest assured, I’ll go above and beyond to smooth the path.
I’m the ultimate, complete, trusted travel adviser. A bold claim, I know – but you don't have to take my word. Read my customer stories below and see what others think of the service I deliver.

Some weeks ago, my wife and I needed to travel to Inverness at very short notice for an indefinite period.
Rather than spend time at various Railway Stations trying to find the most efficient route to our destination, we remembered having seen Paula's advertisement in a local magazine and decided to try a Travel Counsellor.
We are glad we did!
Paula looked after us splendidly, advising us on options, arranging the journey up to Inverness and even delivering the tickets personally.
When we decided to come home, Paula was at the end of the telephone line to order tickets and e-mail instructions. Things could not have been more smooth. Indeed we felt we had a guardian angel looking after us. We were pleased, on our return to welcome Paula to our home to discuss how well things had gone.
We are only too pleased to support Paula with this testimonial and we have warmly recommended her services to several friends.
Thank you Paula. A potentially traumatic situation was eased by your help. Here's to the next time.

I remembered that Paula helped an elderly couple, in our village, plan their trips to visit family in New Zealand.
Paula has been the answer to my concerns and organised my flight, that catered to my needs. Paula responds quickly to my queries and has given me

I didn't do any research into where we were going in Thailand, as I trusted Paula to pick the best and when we got there and stayed at the BelAire Bangkok & Centara Phuket, the resorts were outstanding and I couldn't believe Paula had booked us into an amazing resort.

To anyone looking to book a holiday, whether it's just a trip to the sunshine or an amazing trip of a lifetime, I would like to recommend Paula Ross from Travel Counsellors.
Paula did a fabulous job at listening to what we wanted on our trip and part of the reason we had such an amazing time is because of her hard work and perseverance when we kept changing dates, hotels and destinations!!!
One of our internal flights was cancelled because of bad weather and with one phone call, Paula had sorted it. Rebooked us on a flight the next day, booked an extra night at the hotel in New York and advised the hotel in Las Vegas we were arriving a day late... this enabled us to still attend a wedding in Las Vegas which was the whole point of our trip....!!!!
We have already booked a trip to Florida with Paula for next year and I'm sure there will be many more to come!!

After finding myself left with the task of organizing my families first group holiday I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I had the age range of just under 1 year old up to a 60 year old with a few 30 somethings and teenagers thrown in too....not an easy task. Then comes Paula Ross, Travel Counsellor. Paula just listened. It sounds so simple but actually when does this happen? Paula took on requested flight times, transfer times, distance to the beach, all inclusive, half board and self catering requests for the three different parties. Nothing was a problem for her. With every problem we created, Paula was there with a cure. Even down to an unforeseen medical condition. Paula made super arrangements for us to travel with ease. The hotel we stayed in was perfect just as she said it would be as many of her customers have been there before. Paula really invests time and effort with great efficiency and enthusiasm to get you what you want because she really knows how important holidays are. I would definitely recommend using Paula Ross.

In a nutshell, I bundled up everything I wanted - which was quite complicated - and handed it over to Paula and she fixed it all, discussing various options and the fine details with me.
I was simply left with the excited anticipation of a wonderful trip followed by the relaxed enjoyment of it all, because everything had been taken care of. I also knew that if there were any problems, Paula was on hand back home to help sort them out - but there were none.
I have already recommended Paula to several friends and will continue to do so - she has not been just my travel agent, she's been a confidante and a sounding board for my ideas and has become a friend!! Thanks Paula, it was as amazing as we both hoped and planned it to be!!!!

We have no hesitation in recommending the services of Paula Ross to anyone who is in need of a Travel Counsellor. She has personally handled our travel requirements, holiday and world travel for this last decade and given us every satisfaction. With her wide knowledge and experience of the travel industry she has been able to eliminate all the frustrations of making reservations and often suggested alternatives to us, which have proved more convenient and less costly than our own efforts.
When making bookings we find it easier to call Paula rather than wrestle with the complexities of manifold brochures, since she now knows our preferences etc. and has not ever disappointed us.

We have just retuned from a honeymoon trip of a life time! Paula listened to our needs and desires right from the word go. She took us through all the options and tailored a perfect Honeymoon to our personal needs.
The honeymoon was everything we wanted it to be and even more! Paula delivered a personal service with a smile every step of the way. I would not hesitate in a flash to recommended Paula! We have even already discussed our next trip over tea and cakes while looking at the honeymoon snap shots!

My daughter recommended Paula to me about 6 years ago when my husband and I travelled to New Orleans for a cruise. It was a great holiday and her attention to detail gave us the confidence that nothing was overlooked. Our return flight was changed at the last minute due to adverse weather and Paula phoned us in the middle of the night so that we were able to catch the earlier flight the next morning.

Paula is like one of the family. She is always interested in what we are up to and always ready to go out of her way to arrange a memorable trip for us when we ask. I even suggested one of our favourite sweets for her family!! Will no doubt enjoy this years holiday even though it's not quite as exciting as last years. Many thanks for all your help Paula and take care of yourself!!! Love Sylvia & family xx

We booked a holiday with Paula a few years ago and she couldn't do enough for us, we don't travel very often and she "held our hands". She responded very quickly to our questions and was always there on the end of the phone when we needed her with good advice. It was a nice touch when she personally delivered our tickets too.

Having known Paula for a great number of years and used her services we can vouch for her commitment to all clients, whether the holiday be a world tour or a two week trip to Europe.
Her knowledge of the travel business is vast; if there is anything she is not too sure about in whatever country you can think of, she will make certain that it is researched thoroughly before recommending it.

Paula has booked a couple of holidays for me and I have found her to be very helpful. On one occasion I had particular criteria which Paula was able to fulfil with a massive amount of effort on her part. She did not give up in trying to complete the task of finding the trip I wanted. Great service!!!

Arranging and booking a holiday can be an absolute nightmare, especially if you need to get away and don't have the time to sort it out...or don't know where you really want to go...or if the destination would suit you...what the weather's like, the food or the people. I dont have that problem because Paula sorts and arranges all that for me...BRILLIANT...I just buy a few more bikinis !!

Paula managed to sort out our trip to Australia, combining this with a trip already arranged with other friends. Working around arrangements already in place was easy for Paula who knew what she was doing, but difficult for us to do ourselves. The personal service and help was really appreciated and I would recommend Paula to others without doubt. All we need now is some time to get away again!

Most people who go on holiday pack things such as a toothbrush, change of underwear, money, etc. When I go on holiday I pack a Paula. I would never travel without one, more useful than a toothbrush, more essential than underwear and more valuable than money!
I would recommend to all travellers, take a Paula with you.
How do you do this?
Well simple.
Book your holiday or trip through Paula Ross and apart from all the help, advice and personal service she gives you beforehand, she is also available whilst you are away too. So if anything goes wrong or you just need help, 24/7 Paula will be there for you.
I know, I’ve been there, it couldn’t happen to me! Guess what, it did. One quick phone call to Paula and everything was fixed within the hour. You can’t ask for better service.
If you want a personal recommendation, I’m happy for people to contact me directly.

We've used Paula's services on a number of occasions to head off to the sunny climes of Northern California. The service is first class, with excellent attention to all the small details that usually trip you up! Paula is extremely helpful at all times, keeps in constant contact so you know you're being looked after and I've absolutely no hesitation in recommending her services - thanks!

Paula went out of her way to ensure we had a perfect honeymoon in South Africa and Mauritius. Nothing was too much trouble for her, no matter how many times we changed our minds. Paula suggested where to stretch our budget and I'm delighted we did, the hotels were amazing. All our flights and transfers ran like clockwork. We wish we were still there.
A huge thank you, it was magical.

I've just had some customers return from an excellent weekend to see Andre Rieu in concert, in Maastricht. They wanted to give other travellers some feedback about their journey to Maastricht.
When we booked, Paula advised us the flight was from Newcastle to Maastricht via Amsterdam. But Paula also advised, rather than a flight from Amsterdam to Maastricht, KLM actually run a coach service betwee
