I had clients stay here this summer and they were very happy with it !

Yes we had a lovely time thank you, we loved the house and location away from the madness of the town. The beach club was great as we would go down at 5pm when it got cooler and half the people had gone. The kids loved jumping off and swimming out to the pontoon. The boat trip was really lovely, although a pity we didn't go further round the coast. It was great to have Simpson's on hand to make the trip all that more relaxing like having the car ready when we got to the airport, having shopping arranged at the house when we arrived and having lauren on WhatsApp to answer any questions. Would definitely go through you & them again. Thanks so much for all your help and support.

Get it booked for next year you won’t be disappointed!

✈️🧚‍♀️ Happy National Travel Agent Day! 🧚‍♀️✈️

Today seems like the perfect day to say a little something about what I do — and why I still absolutely love it after all these years. ❤️

I’ve been working in travel since 1994 — yes, you read that right! 😂 — and I’ve been running my own travel business for the last 26 years.

That’s a LOT of holidays, flights, cruises, hotels, changes, cancellations, airport chaos and “Maria, can you just help me with this?” messages! 😂

But honestly, I wouldn’t change it.

Because being a travel agent isn’t just about finding a holiday and pressing book.

It’s about knowing your clients, understanding what they actually want, finding the right holiday for them, and being there from the moment they start dreaming about their trip until the moment they walk back through their front door.

And sometimes, it’s what happens when things don’t go to plan that really matters.

I’ve looked after my clients through Covid, helped people when holidays were cancelled, made sure refunds were chased and received, sorted problems when flights have changed and been the person at the end of the phone when someone is panicking abroad.

You can absolutely book a holiday online yourself — and sometimes you might even find the same price.

But when something goes wrong at 2am, you’re not talking to a website.

You’re talking to me. ❤️

So today, on National Travel Agent Day, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to every single person who has trusted me with their holidays over the years.

Every booking, every recommendation, every review, every tag and every “Maria, can you find me something?” means more than you probably realise.

31 years in travel. 26 years running my own business. And still loving making holiday dreams come true. ✈️🌎🧚‍♀️

So if you’re thinking about your next adventure, let me take the stress out of it.

Your holiday. Your way.
My Travel Fairy 🧚‍♀️✨

This lady is my Auntie Sandra, actually she’s not 😂 but she’s my mums friend that’s been my adopted auntie since I was like 5! You’ve all got one I’m sure ❤️

This wonderful lady took this massive brood including 2 new babies to Disneyland to celebrate her retirement!

Congratulations Auntie Sandra looks like you all had the best time celebrating!

Don’t forget I book Disneyland Paris! Self drive is always the cheapest option and the drive is pretty straightforward on the other side !

Get in touch to book now !

Oh this sight makes me SO happy .. as a travel agent you feel totally useless in such things as missing luggage, but you do your best to reassure your clients the airlines will sort it! This scenario was however completely different!!

If you’ve not seen on SM, pretty much EVERY plane left East Midlands airport without loaded luggage on Monday !!!

To make matter worse this was my Daughters holiday 🫣 a few calls back and forth and it turned out their cases were moved from East Midlands to Manchester and flown out yesterday morning, My daughters case turned up last night but not her friends 🫣Thankfully they managed to share enough of her clothes and make up to go out out and today at 3pm local time her friends case has turned up!

Devastated for them as they only are out there for 5 nights, but luckily Katie’s well travelled 😜 so they had bikinis, a towel and some suncream in their hand luggage so they’ve been waiting for their bags by the pool, whilst mums been chasing the bags whereabouts 🍹

So happy for the girls they can now unpack and enjoy the rest of their holiday!

Shame on you East Midlands you should have a back up plan in place 😤 Well done on Jet2 for delivering the cases as I’ve seen Tui have made clients go back to airports to collect them 😳😳

Enjoy the rest of your holidays girls and thanks for the photo, made my day 😜 xx
