Wendy Farrar
It's Nice To Meet You
My name is Wendy Farrar and I am a Gold Travel Counsellor . I am originally from Cheshire, but moved away 26 years ago due to my husbands job to live in Market Harborough, Leicestershire , well now I am back on home turf, and I love it. I live with my husband Ian and our adored cocker spaniel Ebony.
I have been in the travel industry for more than 40 years, so have a wealth of experience. After many years managing High Street travel shops, I became a Travel Counsellor in April 2002. One of the main reasons I became a Travel Counsellor was that I wanted to give my clients the highest level of customer service coupled with unbiased independent travel advice.
Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK and provides agents like myself with the latest technology. This technology enables me to work from home which means I'm available to discuss your travel needs when it suits you, and that isn't always during office hours! We also offer the best Financial Protection in the travel business... book with me and your money is safe.

Travel Counsellors is the only travel company to have won the Queen's Award multiple times....... An accolade in itself!
In September 2006 I became a Gold Travel Counsellor, which means I am one of Travel Counsellors' top performing agents.
One of my areas of expertise is tailor-made holidays, whether that be in Europe or further afield. I'm also able to arrange all other aspects of travel... that might be a flight to Barcelona, a romantic break on board the Orient Express, ski or golf packages, Mediterranean or Caribbean cruises to name but a few... and all this the from the comfort of your own home, what could be easier?
I am well-travelled myself, so can offer personal recommendations and impartial advice turning that dream holiday into reality!
Hassle free, no more wasted time in travel agencies. I guarantee excellent customer service at better than high street prices, what more could you want?
Please do not hesitate to email or give me a call.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Wendy is always ready to help with our queries and our bookings. We were recommended to her by my brother and his wife, many years ago, and we have passed her number on to many friends and family members. Most of these are grateful and book with her regularly. Since using Wendy, we haven't used any other Travel Agent, and don't intend to. " Simply the Best! !"
