It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome to my world of travel. I’m Susie Cottrell, your dedicated Travel Counsellor, and a trusted expert in designing unforgettable, tailor made holidays. I combine first hand global experience with meticulous planning to create journeys that feel effortless, personal and deeply special.
Holidays are not just time away, they are chapters in your life story. Whether you are dreaming of a barefoot luxury escape in the Indian Ocean, an immersive cultural adventure, a family getaway filled with memories, or a short break with a touch of indulgence, I work closely with you to shape every detail around what matters most.
Life experience is at the heart of how I work. I have lived in the Middle East and Australia and travelled extensively, which means I understand different cultures, climates and styles of travel from the inside. I am naturally inquisitive and love to research, so I am constantly uncovering new hidden gems, standout hotels and unique experiences for my clients.
Away from my desk, I enjoy a busy, happy life with my husband, our three daughters and our two dogs. You will often find me at the gym, out walking, or planning my next research trip so I can continue to offer first‑hand insight and honest recommendations.
What you can expect when you work with me:
A genuinely personal service from someone who takes time to understand you and your travel style
Expert knowledge, honest advice and carefully curated options, not a one size fits all package
Meticulous organisation and attention to detail, from the first idea to your return home
Support at every stage of your journey, so you are never left to figure things out alone
You will also enjoy 100% financial protection and award winning customer service, giving you complete peace of mind. With 24/7 support and a commitment to excellence, you can book with confidence, knowing that every element of your holiday has been handled by a dedicated professional.
If you are ready to start planning, or simply have a question you would like to talk through, just give me a call. I am always happy to help and would love to design your next adventure.
