It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, my name is Stephen Bellingham.

After leaving the army as a musician and travelling the world, I followed my passion. With nearly 35 years in travel, I have visited some amazing places and had the satisfaction of creating successful travel experiences for clients by paying attention to detail and going that extra mile. I became a Cruise Master with CLIA in 2015. I have also travelled extensively in the UK so can help with your UK holiday. Zoom meetings are available.

Originally based in Clevedon, Somerset but now in Dorchester, some clients prefer face-to-face meetings, either at their homes or my office while others are happy to liaise by telephone or in today's environment Zoom. I am available at a time to suit you and often travel to visit my clients at home, as it's more convenient for them.

Whether it's an overnight stay in London or a luxury holiday of a lifetime, I find out what is important and ensure that I match your expectations and more. The feedback and referrals I receive from my clients verify this to be true.

My clients enjoy personalised itineraries; such as a city break, a European sun-break, ocean and river cruises, long-haul itineraries, or an escorted tour. I often 'tweak' trips to make them even more special.

I am a Rocky Mountaineer Specialist. Commodore status with Cunard giving me their highest training rating and also a CLIA Cruise Master, again the highest level of training with them.

Solo travellers use my services as they trust my judgment and feel safe in the knowledge that I am on hand, even whilst they are away.

Using a live airline reservation system is a great asset for booking flight itineraries to select seating, special requests, and last minute availability.

Experience in Saga’s ‘Travel by Design’ department and business travel for TV programs like ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and 'BBC Natural History’ including The Blue Planet means I offer a discreet and confidential service when required, to unusual and remote destinations alike.

As a self-employed Travel Counsellor, I offer a personal service as with any privately owned agency, whilst having the financial support of a large, global organisation. Every aspect of your holiday is financially covered by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Financial Trust.

My passion for travel has taken me to most continents from walking tours to first-class rail, from camping throughout Alaska to cruising the Lei River in Guilin, China. I feel privileged to share this knowledge and experience with clients.

My latest adventures were to Porto, Lisbon, Dresden, Philippines, Malaysia, Borneo, and Ras al-Khaimah and Porto, and a revisit to Singapore after 35 years please do have a read of my blogs!

Now I am also able to use my knowledge of the UK from the highlands and Islands of Scotland to Cornwall and Devon and my home county of Kent the garden of England and my personal favorite being Northumbria

For ideas and inspiration to when or wherever you might like, please give me a call or send an email - I look forward to hearing from you.

About 1/2 hour before I boarded my flight to Amsterdam today I found out that my return flight for Monday morning had been cancelled!! Argh!! Thank goodness I get Stephen to book my flights because whilst I was busy checking in, he was looking for alternative flights. There was one flight to Bristol on Monday evening for £1000, and another to Heathrow for £300!! Fortunately after a little more research, he found a Monday morning flight with the same company so nothing extra to pay about the same time, but to Luton! So although I’ll be on the coach for most of Monday, I’m hugely grateful that I will be home on Monday night. I highly recommend Stephen Bellingham’s services and Travel counsellors ????

Stephen’s brief were two very different holidays. One holiday was a weekend break for two the other a group trip with particular requirements. Once I had met with Stephen, he provided me with his proposals that put all the information together in a easy to understand format. He was then able to make amendments as needed on my request. Stephen thought of everything including private transfers. Stephen really went above and beyond to provide the best advice and to find the best options that would meet our needs. This included a really easy to use app that makes our holidays simple to to manage including payments, updates and all my tickets and insurances, including COVID cover for total peace of mind. I have been actively promoting Stephen since. It goes without saying that I would highly recommend Stephen as an amazing contact for all things travel. Craig Monks

I have used the services of Travelcouncellors through their representative Stephen Bellingham over a good number of years. During this time Stephen has helped and assisted me to construct some unbelievably wonderful travel and holiday experiences, to all manner of destinations across the globe. I have found Stephen to be attentive to my requirements and able to originate ideas to add to my plans. In addition, Stephen’s knowledge and experience has enhanced these travels allowing me to stay in accommodation I would probably not have found and air travel connections that worked exceedingly well. In addition, and so importantly, he has been there at the end of the phone or text ready to assist when needed. This was certainly the case this current year when he extricated me from Indonesia at extremely short notice prior to lockdown. I will continue to use his services when I recommence my world travelling and would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone wishing to ensure their travels are well managed and unique.

Colin Robinson

Clevedon

Thank you Stephen for organising our trip to Rome. Quite a task as there were 6 of us travelling (celebrating 50th birthdays) and we all had different thoughts and ideas of what/where we might like to travel. After many options and ideas supplied by your good self, we agreed on Rome and you made it happen ! As the whole group struggle to all meet up often, your suggestions to myself and follow up emails to my friends made life a lot easier and it allowed us all to have input on flights and hotels. The booking went smoothly and being able to email or ring at anytime with questions was good ! I was even more impressed that you checked us in online and then sent a folder for each traveller with itinerary of travel, check in details and information on places/restaurants to go to in Rome. This helped us all feel confident in our travel plans. Rome was wonderful, we all agreed that you had picked a good hotel for our budget! A big thank you from all for organising it!

Pauline Root

Stephen Bellingham is the most help, conscientious travel consultant I have ever had dealings with. The travel service he has given to me is exemplary. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and Travel Counsellors to all of my friends and family. Indeed I have already done so, and this resulted in my friends also utilising Stephen's services. We are all now extremely satisfied customers!

Julie Alexander

Margaret Silvester

Steve sorted my flights and got.me.a far better and cheaper deal than I could have managed myself... so much easier than spending hours on the internet only to get something wrong. Thank you Steve Bellingham

Sarah Woodward

Clevedon

From start to finish this was a truly magical trip. From the easyJet captain asking us to wake up the reindeer so we could fly to Lapland quickly, to the elves waving bye bye at the airport on our departure everything was a delight. Husky driving, Reindeer sleigh rides, tobogganing, snowmobiles, were just a few of the un-rushed activities. We were shown how reindeer learn to fly and had a fun show with the elves. There was lots of snow, and sunshine, magical darkness - try tobogganing in the dark and plenty of food. Our accommodation was basic but we had everything and it was warm and comfortable. The reps and rangers were brilliant with both children and grandparents. And of course the highlight was an exciting drive through the snowy forest and across icy lakes to find Santa.

Lorna Howarth

Ann Duddy

Clevedon

We genuinely had the best two weeks of our lives. Our tour guide was incredible and really made every second of our honeymoon interesting and fun. We felt like VIP's for the whole fortnight and have made some of the best memories that will stay with us forever. I couldn't criticise one aspect of the trip even if you asked as it was all absolutely fantastic, everything we wished it would be and more. Thank you so much for everything again and we'll be in contact again when we next go on a trip.

Jodie Johnson

Bristol

Outstanding level of customer care!

Stuart Wring

Very attentive and patient - felt like Stephen was working 100% to secure the right break for us. He gave us all the options highlighting differences between companies to make it easier for us to work out which was best for us. Would totally recommend. Many thanks Stephen, you're a star!

We found Stephen to be very informative - and compiled a travel itinerary tailor made to our requirements. We trust Stephen to inform us nearer the time of our travels to make sure everything is in place.

Hiliary Newman

Stephen is always extremely helpful in arranging holidays for us and covers every aspect in detail, and this continues until we are back home again. If there is any problem he is at the other end of the phone working to get it sorted out. He goes that extra mile to give customer satisfaction.

Valerie Humphreys

Clevedon

Stephen provides a very personal service and always strives to meet the "must haves" when making his recommendations

Pat Watkins

WSM

Stephen was recommended to me by a colleague at work. My fiancée also had a Travel Counsellor recommended to her by a colleague. We each emailed our respective Travel Counsellors and later found out they were both Stephen! This was a good sign right from the start. Next time we decide to go on holiday we'll be sure to let Stephen help us plan. The overall experience and service we received from Stephen and his colleagues really helped us relax before we went away – sometimes it can be quite stressful booking a holiday and it was great to know we'd be looked after morning, noon and night! Any questions we had were easily answered via phone or email. When we returned we took pleasure in sharing our holiday stories with Stephen

Nick Allam

Weston-Super-Mare

It's amazing. You tell Stephen what you want and he delivers. And quickly too! Looking forward to our trip to Thailand. Thank you Stephen!

Nick Allam

Weston Super Mare

Stephen provided an excellent service, he is very knowledgeable offering different aspects and variations to our original request, which we hadn't considered, which is great. He kept us in the loop all the way and booked our holiday without any problems. I would and have recommended Stephen to many of my friends.

Colin Holdom

Highbridge

I needed a tricky problem solved since I could not find a way to get a visa for Iran - the problem was solved efficiently by Travel Counsellors. Thank you.

Tansin Benn

Weston Suepr Mare

Stephen has organised a number of trips for us, the next to Singapore (F1) and then on to Australia. I cannot stress enough how much we value Stephens input, he has taken time to make sure he understands our needs and preferences and always delivers. We have no hesitation in recommending Stephen to our friends, family and business contacts.

Mark Tumblety

Bristol

We do want to thank you so very much for helping us with our trip to Zanzibar – it truly was wonderful. All the transport arrangements went to plan – no hiccups at all. Very impressed with Oman Airways – they really looked after us. The hotel was really good – we both did a “wow” when we walked in our hotel room (or suite I should say) as it looked just as the website had shown. I think John and I would both agree that it was probably one of our most memorable holidays we’ve had and definitely what we were looking for, so we are very, very grateful for all your assistance in having a good understanding and being able to make this all happen just as we wanted. We would definitely recommend Zanzibar as a destination to visit – both the Country and the people are beautiful, charming and friendly.

John and Pip Eyles

Bristol

Booking to go on our Viking River Cruise to Russia was so much easier by having the advice, attention to detail, and expertise of Stephen. The knowledge around the Russian visa application and the booking of seats on our flights so we didn't need to pay were all part of the great service we recieved. Nothing was too much trouble for Stephen. Viking to Moscow and St Petersburg were stunning in every way, but not inexpensive. We are giving Stephen a copy of the film about the cruise! Thank you.

Clive and Lorna Howarth

Compton Dando, Bristol

What can I say! Steve organised a few days in Berlin for us. And it was brilliant! He booked flights, transfers, hotel, provided us with an information pack and suggested some of the more unusual venues to see. I would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone as a competent, friendly well organised Travel Counsellor. We, as a group, could not speak highly enough of him.

Steve Molloy

Cleeve, North Somerset

Thank you for all your good wishes we have received from you. We had such a fantastic holiday with all the stress having been taken away with the folder you produced for us having all the details at hand for when needed. The flight with Thompson was far better than either Ryanair or Easyjet and for a budget airline was very comfortable and the lunchboxes were very pleasant. You really excelled on choosing our hotel. The suites were large and beautifully furnished. Along with really good swimming pools - and plenty of sunbeds available! - the choice of food was varied and plenty of choice. The shops in Corelejo were a stone's throw from our hotel as was the beach with the whitest sand imaginable. All in all, you were most charming and kind and we will certainly use your services again. Thank you so much.

Sheila Gran Canaria

Somerset

Stephen has done a wonderful job in gathering to my needs. Despite changing my dates and flights around he served me kindly and speedy. I certainly will book with him again as it was not only convenient but also a very pleasant experience to deal with such a competent and forthcoming travel agent.

Barbara Dummermuth

Switzerland

My recent travels organised by Stephen have included Canada, Southern India and Peru. Stephen makes a point of getting to know his clients and the sort of trips they enjoy - in effect, it is an ongoing conversation and sharing of travel experiences. He offers individual tailor-made journey itineraries, or brochure trips with add-ons; is always there on the other end of the phone (no disembodied voice with various numbers to enter!) and 'goes the extra mile'. If you want a personal, knowledgeable, friendly service, with the opportunity to visit places you have dreamt of, then Stephen is 'the man for you'!

Pam Benjamin

Clevedon

Stephen is amazing! We have changed our travel plans so many times I cannot keep up! But Stephen is on the ball knows exactly what's gone before and what we really want and doesn't mind changing flight plans, hotels and all the other stuff we ask, no demand from him! He is a star!

Alex Warner

Bradford

We have booked with Stephen before and nothing is too much trouble for him. He also has a fantastic knowledge of countries around the world having travelled extensively himself so is able to offer advice to clients. Would 100% recommend him to help with all your vacation needs.

Colin Watson

Queensbury

Stephen takes the hassle out of holiday planning by his great attention to detail, research and personal experience ably aided and abetted by his wife April. We've just returned from a memorable trip to the USA. All the arrangements, bookings, flights etc were brilliant and went like clockwork. Nothing was too much trouble and he was easy to contact. We also knew that if there was any need, we could contact Stephen at any time. We even flew out of the USA one day before the National Parks were closed! A planning masterpiece or stroke of good luck?!! We're so glad we took the plunge and contacted Stephen Bellingham at Travel Counsellors. We will not hesitate to use his services again, and would warmly recommend him to others.

Dee and Richard Hamilton-Jmaes

CLEVEDON

Stephen gave good advice on Vancouver Island as a destination where locals are friendly, tourists are welcome and everybody speaks English. A green and pleasant island with an international city and unspoiled countryside of inlets, coves and forests with cougar, bear and eagles in abundance. And where else could you take a boat in the morning and encounter sea-lions, dolphins, orcas, humpback whales, and harbor seals. We will consult with Stephen again for our travel arrangements and will recommend him to our friends.

Philip Chinque

ILKLEY

Stephen was an absolute miracle worker when a long awaited cruise was cancelled at 7 days notice. He succeeded where Thomas Cook and various other "cruise specialists" failed and incredibly within 2 hours of contacting him, had secured direct flights and a better standard of cruise for four people just before Easter. Consequently my wife's 50th birthday was a memorable occassion on a Carribean beach feasting on fresh lobster with our best friends, rather than the total failure that Princess and Thomas Cook were prepared to settle for. Stephen's attention to detail, flexibility and great customer service even extended to helping us over the phone when a luggage mix-up threatened to ruin the holiday on our first day. We cannot recommend Stephen highly enough and look forward to using his services again. Thank You!

Neil Pratten

Clevedon

I have quite simply never encountered a Travel Agent so knowledgable, committed to finding me exactly what I am looking for, and for whom (it would appear) nothing is too much trouble. Stephen has made himself available at weekends, texted me information whilst abroad and is consistently reliable. I have already recommended him and Travel Counsellors, to several friends. Throughout every conversation or email exchange he has been friendly and professional, giving sensible advice and tactfully protecting me from unwise decisions! Recently Stephen put together travel plans for a business trip with less than 48 hours notice. I contacted him on a Friday afternoon and left the following Sunday equipped with everything I needed: boarding card received by email, ESTA completed, priority check- in organised and so on...all I had to do was pack. He made a potentially stressful experience easy. All in all, I couldn't recommend Stephen more highly and having received this service, I would never attempt to make my own travel arrangements again.

Sarah Collins

Byfleet

Just returned from a fabulous holiday in the Far East! In the comfort of my lounge over a cup of coffee, Stephen noted our exacting demands in location, dates and hotels. He had even contacted Raffles Hotel in Singapore to tell them it was my friend's birthday and she was thrilled to receive a cake and a serenade! Altogether a wonderful holiday without a single hitch. Thank you Stephen.

SUSAN STORRIER

WINSCOMBE

Stephen took great care and attention in our initial meeting to explore our needs and desires for our holiday. This I found to be extremely helpful. He listened intently to our ideas, making suggestions along the way. As a result Stephen came up with a suggested itinerary, which we were able to 'tweak' over the next couple of weeks and which completely suited us. Thank you
