Received these beautiful flowers today from a customer, to say thank you for all the help I’d given them getting them organised with PCR tests and paperwork, still a bit of a minefield out there but travel is getting easier

We’ve got great news! Travel Counsellors has been rated ‘Green’ for Covid flexibility on the new Which? Holiday Checker!

After taking part in several surveys with the leading UK consumer champion Which? this year, today the company launched a consumer-focussed online tool that rates companies green, amber or red based on their refund and amendment policies in relation to Covid-19 travel disruption. It is designed to makes it easy for people to check which travel companies have provided the best service to their customers, offering flexible booking options and refunds, and which ones could leave them out of pocket if circumstances change.

This accolade further highlights how we have looked after our customers throughout the pandemic, building on our consistent 5-star Trustpilot rating and three-times been voted ‘number one’ in MoneySavingExpert’s consumer poll, which ranks how well travel companies are looking after their customers during COVID-19.

A sprawling, golden, sandy beach, a pine green hillside dappled in sunshine, a rural stone cottage down a winding lane or your new favourite ice cream from the local dairy farm. A staycation may mean different things to everyone but this year it’s an opportunity for us all to spend quality time with our loved ones away from the same four walls. It’s where we explore and discover new experiences - ones we possibly didn’t know were available to us without the help of a plane ride.

With my guidance, this year’s getaway will be everything you need from travel, just a little closer to home than you may have thought.

We all know that a holiday will do us the world of good after months of living in a more limited way.

Although adversity has helped us to appreciate what we already have, we’re looking forward to spending quality time together away from our usual four walls and refocusing on our wellbeing after such a changeable spell. We must remember, too, that travel is one of the strongest forces for good we have. Alongside the gratification we personally experience on holiday, there is nothing like visiting a new destination to draw out our ability to see the best in people, to experience a different culture and to understand a different point of view. Many communities around the world have a literal dependence on tourism, and increasingly, our hotel partners are making concerted efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on their locales. If we explore in a mindful way, it really can be of benefit to all. Here is our collection of holiday ideas and inspiration that will do you the world of good in 2021.

Vast mountain plains, deep dark lochs, soft white sand beaches and the occasional Highland cow –Scotland’s remote northernmost reaches are a land straight from folklore.
