“Your Next Holiday, Perfectly Planned: Expert, Stress‑Free Travel with Sharon Murphy”

My name is Sharon Murphy and I am your personal Travel Counsellor, with 37 years’ experience in the travel industry, including over 13 years running my own Business.

Based in Co. Down and a married mum of two, I bring all of this expertise to every trip I plan. My clients enjoy world‑class personal service, outstanding financial protection and a completely stress‑free experience from start to finish. I am friendly, approachable and always at the end of the phone when you need me. A huge proportion of my business comes from repeat customers and word‑of‑mouth referrals, thanks to the fantastic feedback I receive from those who travel with me time and time again.

From short‑haul sunshine to long‑haul adventures, ski trips, cruises, tailored city breaks, group travel, business trips, family holidays, honeymoons and weddings abroad, I have sold it, planned it and lived it. I also love creating bespoke itineraries further afield, including tailor‑made journeys through Vietnam and Cambodia. Nothing is ever “just a booking” to me. I take care of my customers every step of the way, so you always know you are in safe hands.

I have explored much of Europe including the Canary Islands, mainland Spain, the Algarve, Italy, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey. I love a good city break and have ticked off the likes of Edinburgh, London and Rome, with Prague my favourite. I have also experienced the magic of Disneyland Paris and the theme‑park thrills of Orlando first‑hand. Further afield I have enjoyed winter sun in Dubai and unforgettable trips to the USA: shopping in New York, the bright lights of Las Vegas and Los Angeles, the music cities of Nashville and Memphis, and family fun in Florida. My standout destination: the stunning island of St Lucia.

My business is built on personal service, genuine care and competitive prices. With flexible working hours, I am available when it suits you. Whether it is a hotel stay, flights to the other side of the world, a cruise, a family escape, a special anniversary, a honeymoon or your dream wedding abroad (I have done it myself), I would love to help.

Pick up the phone or drop me an email and let us start planning a trip you will always remember.
Look forward to hearing form you

I absolutely would use Sharon to book us a holiday again. Our trip to New York was amazing she picked us a beautiful hotel which was so central to all the NYC sites and sounds. She had told the hotel before our arrival that it was our anniversary and the hotel gave us one of their Suits. I couldn’t recommend Sharon enough ......she’s one of the best in the business!!!

Since meeting Sharon our holiday horizons have broadened and we have gone on trips we would never have considered before. She has helped tailor our holidays to our specific needs and preferences. We now consider her as much a friend as a travel adviser and have recommended her services to all our friends, family circle and acquaintances.

My son had booked a holiday and had to change it because of a family wedding and Sharon gave us all the best options to suit our budget and take into account any charges we would have to pay. It took a few days but thankfully with her help we came out with a suitable alternative destination. We appreciate everything she does for us over and above her call of duty. Well done again Sharon. Thanks again.

I have booked all my hoildays with Sharon since she became a Travel Counseller. I have found her to be very patient and helpful and she goes the extra mile to ensure myself and my husband are getting the best value holiday that suits our needs. Nothing is too much trouble to her.

Patricia Doyle

Castlewellan

I have known Sharon a long time from when she worked in the local travel agents in Newcastle before going to Travel Counsellors, so I have had a lot of insight into what this girl can achive to make your holiday special over the years. When you tell Sharon what you would like out of a holiday she will go all out to ensure you have the perfect destination accommodation and if it is a special occasion she will inform the hotels so as to add the little extras to make it special. Sharon has organised all types of holidays for us. From when our children were young until now when it is just the two of us she seems to get it right. Nothing seems a problem and she always goes that extra mile to make sure you have a fabulous time I could not recommend Sharon at Travel Counsellors enough.

ANN

NEWCASTLE

Fantastic service nothing was too much trouble for Sharon and I was on the phone quite a lot, she managed to satisfy 16 of us going to Spain from different countries. Well done Sharon. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sharon again when I go away again, and I have recommended her to lots of other people.

Linda

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Sharon on her exceptional service. The way she handled my dads booking has been professional and efficient. I look forward to doing more business with her in the future. Well done.
