Welcome to my webpage.

My name is Lucy and this year I will celebrate working 36 years in the travel industry.

If you are reading this, and are thinking about organising a holiday for yourself with friends or your family, do get in touch as I'd love the opportunity to help you too.

As you can imagine I have seen a lot of interesting changes since I first started my career as a trainee with Pickford’s Travel back in 1988!
Time flies ...but travel is my passion and runs through my veins... it's the industry that I love.

I pride myself on attention to detail and I thrive on offering an extremely high level of customer service. I have built my business by relying on my customers to refer me to their friends and family - and since I became a Travel Counsellor in 2007, my business has grown substantially.

Who doesn’t love to take a holiday?

I have been incredibly lucky to travel the world and my favourite destinations include Dubai, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Borneo, Thailand, the Greek islands and Melbourne, Australia. I’ve loved shopping until my feet ached in New York and I've waited patiently in Kenya to spot the baby elephants! I also have a passion for cruising and can share my ship-life experiences with you too; if you haven’t tried cruising before why not treat yourself to a taster cruise – usually two or three nights - on some of the world’s best cruise liners?

If you are celebrating something special, why not make it a truly memorable occasion by asking me to organise your plans - I'll promise to add “whistles and bells” .... whether it be a family gathering at a UK hotel, or a special birthday treat abroad to tick something off of your wish-list, I can help you. Let me share my experience, ideas, and suggestions with you and together we can plan your special event.

Travel Counsellors are an independent travel agency. I have access to over 3,000 suppliers which means I can tailor-make exactly the right holiday for you at a competitive price. We also have our own unique and state-of-the-art dynamic packaging computer system, which means that I can compare travel options for specific dates in a matter of minutes.

So, please don’t get frustrated trawling though websites looking for your own holidays, let me do the hunting for you (at no extra cost to you either).
Choose to spend your well-earned money with someone who CARES … especially during a continued complicated world where countries might have e-visas and passport rules meaning that it is all too easy to "fall down a hole" with not knowing what procedures need to be in place before you can step foot onto a foreign land!
I am here for you; to hand-hold... and suggest the best ideas for you, that the internet definitely won't! I just need your preferred holiday dates and then I can get the ball-rolling for you!

I look forward to hearing from you, best wishes and happy travelling!

Lucy

We were so lucky to find Lucy a few years ago for helping with our holiday requirements. Recently we have travelled to Mauritius with Lucy booking everything for us in great detail. It’s wonderful when your travel pack arrives and Lucy has ticked all the boxes for you and made sure everything is absolutely in order… highly recommend.

Sent by Petra Meeson

We've used Lucy for the past 16 years for all our holidays. We love her suggestions, they way she politely nudges us for our own action points. Best of all is the customer care when we are away. Most of the time it is never needed, but when we do, she is straight on our case sorting out any issues we have. I like the way our information is clearly marked up to avoid any confusion. She has already booked our next holiday for us. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

Sent by Dinah Longland

I've known Lucy a long time. She is very diligent, caring, and helpful by nature. The perfect attributes for a travel counsellor. She listens carefully to your requirements and comes back to you with suggestions. Together you refine the details then leave it to Lucy to work her magic. Throughout your holiday you have the comfort of knowing she is only a call or message away to assist with any issues which may arise.

Sent by C Aston

Lucy is amazing, and despite all the extra workload that she has had to deal with she has helped us enormously. I feel much safer in her hands than booking online by myself, especially for such a big trip with a big family! Thank you! I have already recommended her services to another family!

Sent by S T

Lucy is the most friendly, helpful person -- she is happy to go the extra mile and put herself out to help if things go wrong. In 2019 my plane had engine failure on take-off and the flight was abandoned. She organised my seat for me for the next day, informed my colleagues waiting in Canada and even organised a taxi transfer upon arrival in Canada for the next day to meet up with my colleagues. I recommend her to all my friends when they want anything personalised. - she is a gem!!

Sent by E M

Lucy was truly fantastic in finding us a holiday despite us having a number of requirements. Lucy went well over and above to secure the holiday by the beach, even working out of normal office hours to make sure that the holiday was booked. I have no hesitation in recommending Lucy for her friendliness and helpfulness.

Lucy is a great agent who bends over backwards to give you the best advice and affordable prices . Lovely, kind and friendly to work with.

Lucy - Thank you so much for making this 2021 trip happen for me. It was amazing and the service great ( as usual ) from start to finish. Initial call - to even checking in on me to make sure I got back ok. Keeping me updated at all times and especially during Covid and keeping me reassured and up to date with all guidelines and regulations. You made the trip work for me and captured everything I wanted. Spot on! On to the next one..!

I'd like to say a huge thank you to Lucy for organising our trip to New York. We had an amazing time. Right from the beginning you were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. All the arrangements were excellent from the flights, the accommodation, the advice and the travel wallet which was provided with all our travel information. You had even filled in our luggage tags for us which was so kind. I have already recommended you to my friends and family. Thanks again for a great service and wonderfully organised trip

We wanted a summer holiday to celebrate a big birthday and were after something a bit different to the standard holiday package. We gave Lucy our brief and she very quickly found exactly what we were looking for and within budget. In the disbelief that it could be that easy, we asked Lucy to find a couple of alternative holidays so that we could see what other options were available to us. Lucy got straight on the case and found some more options but they weren't as on the mark as the first holiday she'd found us. Lucy found flights that fitted within the dates that we were able to travel so we went ahead with the booking. Lucy took care of all the details from start to finish. We had some concerns with having to fly Ryanair, some friends had flown a couple of months previously with Ryanair, they were unable to get seats together and their 9 year old child was expected to sit on their own. I told Lucy about my fears and she did online check-in on our behalf as soon as she was able to and managed to book us seats together on both flights. A couple of weeks before we were due to travel, Lucy sent us a travel pack which included our boarding passes, the booking confirmation and information about our transfers and the accommodation. She'd even written out all of our luggage labels! Needless to say we had an amazing holiday, it was everything we had hoped that it would be. Lucy even recommended a restaurant in the neighbouring resort where she had previously holidayed. We went there one evening, had a delicious meal and explored the local area. Lucy made this holiday the easiest travel and I'm in no doubt that we will be calling on her services again in the future....

I would highly recommend Lucy at Travel Counsellors! My sister and I wanted to travel to New York that was all we knew, we didn’t know where we just wanted to be there! Lucy sent us details of flights, different hotels in different areas, spent countless evenings talking through the benefits of different areas and answering my many questions.. she was very patient also when I constantly changed my mine! When everything was booked she still offered other services like the New York Pass and transfers even lending us her own guide book when New York Pass stopped giving them out. Our tickets were delivered to us by hand in a wallet with our luggage labels already written and when we arrived at our amazing hotel The Parker New York, we had been assigned a room overlooking Central Park, just as she had asked. Lucy goes over and above and I would recommend her to anyone particularly one as fussy as me.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the trouble you have gone to over the past eight years in making sure my holidays are perfect and in ensuring all goes smoothly. You have always managed to organise the best possible flights and accommodation for a variety of destinations, and it is very reassuring to know that should anything go wrong - touch wood, so far, it hasn't! - you would be there to sort it. That hotel in Reykjavik and also the one in Stockholm could not have been more ideal for us - perfect choices. You are always very patient with me while we try and find the ideal flights for me when I go to Australia to see the family. You always end up with a good deal, including, importantly, the right seating for me. I often recommend you to friends as you offer an excellent, personal service with reasonable prices and lots of peace of mind. With best wishes

I have been just reminiscing on the enjoyable holiday with photographs I had in Michigan recently and thinking how fortunate I was to be introduced to Lucy Morgans (by a friend who has used Lucy's services travelling annually to Australia with stop-offs en route, for many years) to arrange the journey with assistance, which entailed me needing advice for my journey throughout, owing to my age & a knee problem. All sorted satisfactorily. As an 81 year old widow I needed assistance throughout my journey with a flight change at Frankfurt, this was successfully carried out as with at all airport terminals, also very suitable seating at front of aircraft. Also I have another problem, that of being hard of hearing, so all our correspondence was carried out either by text or e-mail with no restriction of what time or day I was able to contact Lucy, with instant replies. My PC skills are not too good also. I was amazed at the patience that Lucy showed to me. She even welcomed me home with the kind gesture of a little card, which I liked. I just wish I was able to travel more to use Lucy's services, in the meantime I can recommend her services with confidence. The experience being most satisfactory & reliable.

We had a lovely family holiday in Portugal this summer. The resort was very attractive, set in really nice gardens and with three lovely pools. There was never any problem getting a sunbed and we used the leisure club to play tennis and for the sauna and steam room. We all enjoyed the all inclusive meals and of course the cocktails. There was plenty of variety and special food events such as the BBQ and paella evening. Our two bedroomed apartment had a patio and sun beds looking out onto the gardens which was really nice. Lucy found the holiday for us and organised everything with no fuss which was great.

We have recently returned from a wonderful holiday to the U.S. and would like to say a huge thank you to Lucy for being so efficient and ensuring everything was perfectly organised and stress free. We stayed in New Hampshire, Boston and New York, the accommodation found by Lucy in each location was fantastic and she was able to pre-book tickets for several activities before we left. This is the fourth holiday she has arranged for us, with another one booked, and her advice and attention to detail each time has been invaluable. Thank you Lucy. Thank you again, it really was fantastic

First day back in the office for us all today and just wanted to say a massive thank you for organising a great trip! We were treated like royalty in Lima with champers on arrival and a massive suite! The Inca trail was amazing and beat Maccu Picchu itself for all of us. Everything on the tour seemed to be well organised, friendly staff who looked after the porters and us very well. Definitely a once in a lifetime trip and thank you again for making every step so simple and smooth for us! Looking forward to next trip - Vegas!!

Just wanted to thank you for arranging a fab holiday for us in Bideford. The apartment was lovely, the views were stunning and the town of Appledore was ideal for a family break. We may even visit there again sometime (we rarely go back to the same place twice!). My husband spent an entire evening transfixed by the sunset from the apartment, and the tv was on! We had some really memorable days out and about, and my son's opinion of it was "awesome" We were really impressed that you managed to find such a great holiday which exceeded our brief. The personal touch which came with your service really made us feel special, the way the confirmation arrived by post, the happy holiday wishes, the thank you card and the wonderful activity book (which kept my son thoroughly engrossed for 3 of the 5+ hours it took us to get home!) all added to the impression that your clients and their holidays are important to you. I have already recommended you to friends and family and I hope you can help us again with our next holiday, during the summer school holidays Thanks again

Just to let you know that we had a great holiday - just starting to settle back since arriving home on Saturday I will confirm that hotels in Venice can be a bit of a nightmare to find - but we got there - and it was an excellent choice! We would very much like to stay there again. Our room was large and overlooked the main square. The cruise was great - plenty of entertainment, good company and excellent food. Got off at every port of call but only did one of their organised excursions which was in Athens. Thanks very much for arranging this holiday for us, all arrangements ran smoothly.

The first holiday we booked with Lucy was 2010, Lucy recommended Malaysia as we wanted something special for our 25th wedding anniversary. We were told about Lucy from our friends who highly recommended her for the same occasion. It was to be the year of the ash cloud and caused major disruptions but Lucy took all of the stress and strain away from us with all the rearrangements. It was then at this time we knew it was a personal service. We could not have wished for better. Lucy has arranged numerous holidays, flights and weekends away for us since and we would not hesitate and have recommended Lucy to friends and family. Lucy is always positive and happy to help us throughout the holiday booking experience.

Lucy was first recommended to me when I was arranging a re-union trip for ten males to go to New York. Although we flew from more than one airport, we all arrived on schedule and stayed in our good value hotel in the perfect place just off Times Square. After the success of that trip I asked Lucy to help arrange our family holidays. My wife is wheel chair bound so we have special requirements for both the hotel and resort. Over the last twelve months we have had three breaks. Our daughter and granddaughter, now aged two, have accompanied us on each occasion. Lucy has arranged three excellent holidays for us, each one catering for the needs of my wife and granddaughter. Lucy found us excellent hotels where we had adapted rooms. We had child seats in the airport transfer vehicles and the resorts chosen had layouts that enabled us to easily move around. Exactly what we required. Lucy's communication and attention to detail prior to the holidays gave us confidence that all would go well and they all have. So roll on to our next holiday, perhaps to Portugal and our next phone call to Lucy!

We have just returned from a delightful holiday in Portugal, staying at the tranquil Solar De Mos hotel in a quiet, residential area of Lagos on the Algarve. Thank you for, once again, finding just the perfect place to stay Lucy. The hotel was all that we had hoped for, and more. The warmth of the welcome that we received from Mario and the care and attention from the proprietors Carlos and Lena was charming. Our flights and ticketing arrangements went without a hitch, and we were again impressed by your attention to detail - down to the prepared luggage labels. Once again thank you, Lucy.

Wanting to visit our daughter in Paraguay over Christmas, I wouldn't have known where to start. Lucy gave us lots of options to chose from and was quite happy when we wanted to organise elements of the trip ourselves. The hotels found by Lucy were all ideal. Our three flights each way were very long but all worked smoothly. Lucy took all the stress of the planning away from us, down to sorting out the valet car service at Heathrow. The information was given so that each sheet pertained to a part of our trip. It was all clearly highlighted so as not to mix them up. She always answers emails and messages promptly. I have since used Lucy for short breaks to Europe and her attention to detail is exactly the same. My mum and other family and friends have all also booked through Lucy. She is very friendly and not pushy at all and quite happy to book a bargain option if you want. Our first thought now when planning a trip is...I'll give Lucy a ring.

A friend and I were wanting a restful week at the end of September. We wanted sun, sea and peace and quiet. We had no idea where we wanted to go and didn't have the time to research it ourselves. Lucy was absolutely brilliant. She found us a fabulous place on Corfu. Everything was organised for us, even down to the completion of our luggage labels! It was wonderful! Lucy took such care and interest to ensure we had a special holiday. Many thanks Lucy -I shall certainly be calling on your services again! Penny

We first discovered Lucy Morgans through a professional contact of our daughter; we were thinking of trying our first cruise and it would be no exaggeration to say that Lucy, having done the cruise we were looking at with her family, was a mine of information about what not to miss, what not to do and everything in between. She not only advised on every aspect of what to us was a new experience but also took care of every aspect of the booking, paperwork, hotels and life on board. She is extremely knowledgable about the holiday business and we have already booked our next holiday with her help. A credit to Travel Counsellors indeed!

Lucy has arranged 2 breaks for us this year. The 1st was at the Hay Book Festival which proved a real problem to find accommodation- but with Lucy's perseverance she found us a lovely 5 star Inn with acccommodation within a 30 minute drive of the festival. The 2nd was a 2 week holiday in Turkey and she found the perfect 'All Inclusive Hotel' for us and the travel and transfer arrangements were trouble free, including the parking at the airport. We will definitely be using Lucy's services again for any future breaks and would be very happy to recommend her to family and friends.

I met Lucy at a Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce event five years ago. When I was ready to book my next holiday I decided to see what Lucy could do. The service was freindly,speedy and efficient. It speaks for itself that I have now used her to arrange countless holidays in Europe, Asia and the USA. Lucy also looks after other members of my family and many of my friends. I know that when I book with Lucy everything will be sorted out and all I need to do is pack my suitcase.

Travel Counsellors- and Lucy in particular- came highly recommended from my Mum, who always says Lucy takes the stress out of travelling and that was definitely our experience on this trip! My husband and I were looking for a bit of an adventure together, post-Covid and neither of us had been to South East Asia. Talking to friends who’d been to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia we decided on Cambodia

Customer Blog: Eddy and Andrea from Somerset

04 April 2023

Our trip to Australia was just the business. I heard about Lucy Morgans from my brother-in -law. He recommended us to chat with her as we were starting to plan our next holiday to Australia. Although this was our sixth trip to see our son and his family in Canberra this one was different because we had decided this time, we wanted to travel Business Class! Lucy was great at picking out a place fo

"The quirkiest hotel" ....that I've ever stayed in...!

09 February 2023

It was actually very recently... back in October 2022, when I stayed in Vienna, Austria. I find VIENNA quite an expensive city to stay in.. and as we only needed to stay for one night.... I was looking and found that we had our own excellent TC rates for this hotel... so I thought let's try it, ...why not? The hotel lobby could be a collectors' museum! There are retro radios, retro televisions,

Beautiful Barcelona 2022

16 December 2022

I was lucky to spend a fantastic 48 hours in Barcelona as a pre-Christmas treat in December 2022. There’s plenty to do in this cosmopolitan city …. its full of character with its narrow streets, boutique shops, and its bursting with tapas and wine bars… How did I spend my 48 hours? Sagrada familia Cathedral : Definitely worth a visit. But you MUST pre-book before you arrive in Barcelona otherwi

River Cruising 2022

16 December 2022

River Cruising is a holiday that I have had my eye on for quite some time & something that I was itching to try... It completely exceeded my expectations.... Below is a snippet from my blog/review which I wrote during my cruise. I hope it gives you a fair view of life on-board and my thoughts whilst enjoying this very relaxing holiday. Leaving Budapest Today we joined our riverboat which will

Beautiful Kefalonia 2021

07 October 2021

Kefalonia is one of those destinations that I have been wanting to visit for many, many years. The sister island to both Zakynthos and Corfu, she is located in the Greek Ionian Sea. She is famous for her beautiful beaches & coves, plus her interesting mountainous landscape makes her a little bit different to the other Greek islands that I have visited. She is also less busy with tourists, because

Celebrity Cruises' new ship: EDGE

11 September 2019

As I write this, I am on my way home from the exciting city of Barcelona, where I have been lucky enough to stay for two days whilst visiting Celebrity Cruise Lines' brand new ship, ‘The Edge’ (launched May 2019). My goodness, visiting this wonderful floating beauty definitely exceeded all of my expectations. Having cruised many times and seen plenty of beautiful ships during my 30 years as a tr

Dubai 2018

02 November 2018

If ever there was a destination that is forever changing and developing, it’s Dubai! My first visit to this fast-paced and dare I say it, “extravagant” destination was back in 1999; when one line of hotels ran along the beach and all that was behind these hotels was the desert! Since 1999 I have now visited a further 3 times. Now buildings have appeared in front of (and behind) these original h

Wonderful Emirates Airline

17 October 2018

This month I have enjoyed a fantastic evening hosted by Emirates Airlines - viewing their amazing A380 aircraft which flies twice daily to Dubai (and beyond!) from my local Airport; Birmingham. The aircraft-type occasionally gets swapped, and on the evening of my visit, instead of it being the usual ‘2 class’ A380 it was the ‘3 class’ A380 and so we were extremely lucky to able to view the firs

3 Days in Prague

06 April 2018

April 2018 I have just returned from a wonderful long weekend away in sunny Prague with my youngest son. We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights spent exploring this historic city with its cobbled pavements, churches galore, beautiful 12th-century squares with buildings that look so perfect they have been painted for a Disney fairy-tale! Getting there; It's reasonable! Yes, compared to the

Sunny Edinburgh!

31 October 2016

The reason was my mum's 70th birthday treat, but who really needs an excuse for a weekend away ? My 'weekend' was actually 24 hours. Which started on Saturday morning with an early start at Birmingham airport .. but after less than an hour's flight, we'd landed into a new world of beautiful buildings, haggis, shortbread biscuits, bagpipes and tartan! We were also surprised to be greeted by so

Thailand - the "land of smiles"

31 October 2016

Having travelled to Thailand over 25 years ago during my early life as a travel agent, I have been keen to return probably ever since I arrived back! The friendliness of the people, the beaches, the food and buzz of another land has had me itching to revisit for some time. For October 2016 we decided to rebook - and spend half-term in Phuket as a family. Phuket is an island about an hour's f

Sunny Portugal for our Whitsun Break.

09 June 2015

We wanted some May sunshine and we weren’t disappointed. This is what I would describe as a really ‘easy’ holiday destination. With a choice of nice ‘day-time-flights’ departing most local airports, (we flew from Birmingham) travelling to the Algarve these days is very simple! With Portugal (the Algarve) I can even package up breaks for shorter durations. The minimum I would probably suggest wo

Cruising on the Thames

07 December 2012

I have just returned from an extremely relaxing holiday with my family, where we cruised the Thames from Benson in Oxfordshire to Windsor in Berkshire, and back again. By road (on a good day) this journey would take less than an hour but by river, negotiating the locks, it took us a wonderful six nights. The pace of the river is about five mph and as it meanders its way through pretty count

Zell am See - A Winter Treat - Skiing or not !

20 February 2012

I have just returned from a wonderful week’s holiday in the ski resort called Zell am See in the Austrian Tyrol. The resort or small town of Zell am See is located on the shores of Lake Zell – this location I would imagine would be a photographer’s dream destination with snowy mountains that meet the frozen lake, and traditional Austrian Houses with their snowy pitch roofs, and ornate wooden ba

Magical Lapland...

22 December 2011

I decided that this year was the year that I should take my boys to Lapland to see the REAL Father Christmas - there was no deliberation for me. . . Having booked so many clients to Lapland over many years as a travel agent, I knew that this year was to be our time to go! It really is a once in a life-time experience, so choosing which company to travel with and making sure of what is included

Cruising the Caribbean.

09 June 2011

This was my third time cruising in the Caribbean and our 2nd time cruising this region with our children in tow. We chose NCLs brand new ship the EPIC purely because of its "Aqua Park" with three slides, including the famous EPIC PLUNGE. I can only liken the Epic Plunge to a huge plug hole that you whizz down whilst sitting perched inside an inflatable ring! Our children were not disappoint

Guernsey

09 September 2009

This year we decided to head for the Channel Islands –hoping for some more guaranteed sunshine! We were not disappointed…. It certainly is a very much underrated destination. Quietly nestled only 3 hours on the fast ferry from Poole, it’s an easy-to-reach holiday option. There are also flights from the majority of regional airports. We decided to take the fast catamaran car ferry which leaves

Independence of the Seas - Breathtaking Cruise !

02 June 2009

This half term (May 2009) we were again drawn to cruising …in actual fact we had booked this cruise quite a few months in advance – as half-terms and school holiday dates are always the first cruise dates to fill up! So we had plenty of time to look forward to travelling, and we certainly weren’t disappointed. We have cruised many times before, but this time we were in for a very special treat

Family Christmas in a Derbyshire Cottage

27 January 2009

Having never been away at Christmas as a complete family, I have to admit that we did feel a little bit anxious about this venture! Our criteria of wanting the whole family to be together for Christmas 2008, (7 adults and 5 young children in total) meant that hiring a holiday cottage seemed the perfect solution. However, even the catering for persons with different dietary requirements went smoo

Magical Skiing at Les Menuires

19 January 2009

Anyone who has not experienced the joy of a ski resort should try it (and the skiing!) as it really is something different to anything you will have experienced. The scenery is breathtaking, the clear sunny skies unexpected, and the atmosphere wonderful. We have fallen in love with Les Menuires – a resort in the French Alps close to Trois Valleys. We have good friends of ours who own an apa

Irresistable Ireland

04 December 2008

For some reason, I have always fancied Ireland, but never got round to going! It certainly is a hidden gem, with from what I can understand, the only thing holding people back from choosing this beautiful Country for a holiday or short break is its weather! So I am saying to you, please don’t let the weather hold you back from visiting this wonderful country, and its beautiful coastlines. It

Wonderful Norwegian Cruise Lines !

25 November 2008

Having cruised many times before, we decided that we’d like to try Norwegian Cruise Lines and see how they compare to the likes of P&O and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines – who we usually favour. I spotted that NCL were offering one of their infamous taster cruises in August – and I decided to book it for the family – my husband and I, and our two little boys. I have to say that we were extreme
