Hi! I’m Stephen, your friendly local Travel Counsellor, right here in Crewe – and I’m absolutely passionate about turning your holiday dreams into unforgettable realities.
Travel isn't just my job – it's my obsession! Whether you're dreaming of a relaxing beach break, a cultural escape, or the cruise of a lifetime, I’m here to make it happen. With a background working for top UK tour operators and running my own successful travel agency in Scotland, I bring years of experience and trusted expertise to every booking.
But what really sets me apart? I treat your holiday like it’s my own. That means I’m all about the details – the right hotel, the perfect flight, the best experiences. If you're happy, I’m happy!
Why Book With Me? Unlike high street agents tied to just one brand, I have access to hundreds of travel partners, from big names to hidden gems. That means I can craft tailor-made holidays that suit your unique style, budget, and wishlist – no compromise, no pressure.
My Travel Style I’ve been lucky enough to visit some truly incredible destinations – from the white sands of Mexico and the bright lights of the USA, to the romantic coastlines of Italy, Greece, Spain, and Croatia. But if I had to choose a favourite, it’s cruising! There’s nothing quite like waking up in a new place every day. My recent adventure aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady sailing through Mexico and the Bahamas was pure magic – topped off with a few days soaking up the sun in Miami Beach. Highly recommended!
I'm Here When You Need Me The beauty of working from home? I’m available when it suits you – no fixed hours, no rushing. Whether you prefer a relaxed chat over coffee, a quick call, or a message online, I’ll work around your schedule.
Let’s Get You Ready to Go! Forget scrolling endlessly through booking sites or queuing in busy agencies. Let me take the stress out of planning – all you need to do is check your passport, dust off your suitcase, and get ready to make memories. And when you're back? I want to hear all about it – and see those holiday snaps!
Let’s start planning something amazing today – I can’t wait to help bring your next adventure to life.

It was so effortless using Stephen to sort our holiday, nothing was a struggle and everything perfectly planned for an amazing cost. Flying out there was fine going through Manchester, no issues at all. The same for returning and coming through Dalaman. Dalaman was quite expensive in duty free and for food so make sure you’re prepared for that on the way back. Overall Summary Overall this was an absolutely amazing holiday for our small family. Stephens help from start to finish made the whole trip amazing and so effortless. I struggle to wind down sometimes yet his expertise and professionalism with sorting such a perfect holiday meant we could relax and properly switch off. We will 100% be using Stephen again and we would visit the same hotel again as well.

If you are sick to death of strolling through all the different holiday sites trying to get the best deal then don’t. Let Stephen do it for. We’ve been looking for a deal for a family of 5 for a while. never end up booking because we just get tired of looking. So we give Stephen ideas of where we wanted to go and our budget and we are now booked to go to Greece.
100% recommend Stephen to look for your next amazing holiday. This is the second time we have booked with Stephen and he can’t do enough for you always there to answer any questions. So thank you Stephen we really appreciate your hard work and time you’ve spent trying to get us the best deal.

First Class Customer Service
Our first ever two city holiday taking in New York and New Orleans went as smoothly as we had hoped. Stephen Rogerson booked us 5 flights two hotels and all transfers. He helped with all our ideas thoughts and expectations for our busy holiday. The two hotels were in perfect locations for us and made it so easy to get around. The flights were all in plenty time of each other so no problems catching them. Stephen did all our luggage tags for all 5 flights for the 3 of us and sent them in advance, booked us in where possible and the transfer were on time and tbh very luxurious! The little things are big things to Stephen and he always makes sure to look at the fine details. Keeps us updated if needs be and as always on hand 24/7. It's so nice to go away and not worry or think about anything except enjoying the holiday itself. Once again a big thanks to Stephen Rogerson

We booked a holiday through Stephen Rogerson at Travel Counsellors recently and we were bowled over with the amazing, efficient and friendly service he provided. We initially booked for Dubrovnik then decided a month before the holiday we wanted to change destinations to get some sun. This was no problem to Stephen and he quickly found us another amazing deal to Tenerife for a small admin fee. He organised everything from great accommodation to flights, transfers and online check in. We will definitely use Stephen in the future for booking our holidays.

I contacted Stephen regarding a city break in Edinburgh for my partners 30th.
I had specific requests, with it being for a special occasion I wanted in the city centre, spa/luxury. Stephen managed to tick all these boxes and more.
Within a few days of my enquiry I had been sent three different hotels all within a reasonable price, but all hotels with offering something different which was helpful when choosing the perfect one. He even managed to find one near the castle (which I have picked and booked)
Stephen has been so helpful and kept regular contact through the booking process.
I will 110% be booking anything in future with Stephen again and will definitely be recommending Stephen to others.

I had never tried a travel agent before I had spoken to Stephen, he was recommended by a friend who told us to give him a call. From the beginning it was a completely different experience!! Stephen tries his best 100% of the time from the start to the finish to do what he can to make you happy. He makes the whole process just so simple, stress free and actually quite enjoyable!
Unfortunately for us we have had a couple of cancellations due to travel restrictions but Stephen has been amazing throughout, I didn't have to worry about a thing as I knew he was on it and working hard to sort things out for us, whether it was a total cancellation or moving the date/hotel/flight Stephen did everything for us and quick too!!!! This is such a different experience to booking with a big travel company, your not just left hanging on the end of a phone wondering and worrying.
I think one of the nicest things about Stephen is he genuinely loves his job!! He loves talking about travel and is very knowledgeable on lots of different places, it really shines through when he is helping to book your holiday. From the tiny wee details to the very big things that you want or need or haven't even thought of he is right there, trying to make sure you have the best holiday!!
I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking to book any sort of a break and I will continue to use him for all of our trips as he just a different class!
