It's Nice To Meet You

I believe that life should be full of exciting travel experiences, tailored to meet our unique interests and needs.

So you have decided to take a trip. Having made that decision, now imagine the benefit of having your own personal Travel Counsellor - someone who takes pride in getting to know you personally, providing you with a confidential, professional service and offering friendly impartial advice. I know your time is precious, so why stress over endless websites and brochures, let me take care of everything for you!

I would describe myself as a “Travel Designer” who makes your dreams come true. I specialise in Honeymoons, Luxury Holidays, Family Holidays & Cruises and use my wealth of knowledge and skill to create fabulous itineraries. We all have different travel interests, some live for museums and galleries others crave excitement and adventure. I take the time to get to know you so I can tailor-make your trip to be as individual as you are and having access to a wide range of travel providers ensures the best possible value for you.

I work with a select number of clients at a time to ensure I can provide a truly personalised service and offer a complimentary 20 minute initial consultation to allow us to get acquainted - following this initial call, you can decide whether you'd like to move forward and work together. For your convenience I am available outside normal office hours to discuss your travel plans.

Travel is my passion- my travels are varied and have taken me from the exotic shores of the world’s gems such as the Maldives and Seychelles to the vibrant cities of Hong Kong and Capetown, from the picturesque ski slopes of the Rockies and the Alps to the fun filled family holidays spent in camper vans, cruising the high seas and thrilling adventures in safari and theme parks. Antarctica is next on the bucket list!

The challenge to create the perfect holiday that matches your style, needs and spend is what keeps me enthusiastic. I see travel as an adventure, an escape from daily routines and a chance to look through the window of another culture. So as you embark on the next great journey in your life consider taking the first step in my direction. I look forward to hearing from you.

My customer stories

Sent by S Duffy

We had never booked through a travel agent before, but decided to book our honeymoon and can now honestly say, we will 100% be booking every holiday with Jeanette Coughlan Travel Counsellors from now on. Jeanette was fantastic and endlessly patient with us as we priced different options, before eventually settling on the final details of the trip. We went to Mauritius and South Africa. Jeanette advised us to go to Mauritius first for the relaxing, poolside-cocktails part of the honeymoon immediately after the wedding as a rest would be well needed after the chaos of the wedding. We really appreciated that advice as it was 100% true, and the resort Jeanette suggested was absolutely amazing. If we had known what Jeanette had in store for us, we needn't have worried. We had a safari booked in South Africa. We flew to Capetown, rented a car and drove 4 hours to the safari along the tourist-popular Garden Route. We were excited about the safari, but what Jeanette had proposed was better than we could have expected. The reserve was amazing and the accommodation was nearly too luxurious (to the point where we were nearly feeling guilty leaving the villa to go out on the game drives). And the game drives themselves were amazing. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we were able to get right up close to the animals on the safari. It was amazing to spend time with rhinos, lions, zebras, etc. and it wasn't just driving by them. It was an other-worldly experience, and we really felt like Jeanette had brought us to a hidden gem. After that, we went back to Capetown for a few nights where Jeanette had booked us into a lovely hotel in a lovely area of Capetown. Jeanette recommended a lovely restaurant in the area for a final honeymoon meal, before flying back to Dublin. All in, we would highly recommend Jeanette Coughlan at Travel Counsellors to book your trip. It really made our honeymoon incredible.

I was trying to book with Icelandair to return to Canada from Dublin. Three people tried to help me to book with this airline and towards the end of the booking an 'error' occurred. We could not get past it and yet there were plenty of seats available on that flight....very frustrating. Then a friend told me about Jeanette Coughlan so I called her to see if she could help. At this stage I had been trying to get this booked for two hours!! Thankfully, she managed to get through the hoops and got the booking sorted out for me. Thank you Jeanette! From now on I will definitely use travel Counsellors and Jeanette when possible. Sincerely, Teresa Kirwan...Canada.

I contacted Jeanette to arrange a trip for my husband and myself to Canada. She was so very helpful and I had no travel knowledge and needed guidance. In the matter of a very short while I was advised of my options, and guided through any queries that sprung to my mind.

Jeanette will be my first choice for any holiday arrangements I might be planning, and I will wholeheartedly recommend her to my family and friends. Thank you Jeanette.

I found Jeanette's service to be invaluable. She took a great deal of time to understand what my family was looking for in a U.S. holiday and challenged some of our initial thoughts on destinations and suitability for our adult daughters. She then arranged everything; accommodation, flights and car hire and took a lot of the hassle out of it. I found the mix of telephone and online interaction to be a very efficient way of conducting business and certainly found Jeanette's knowledge to be something which no web offering alone could offer.

Sent by John Buckley

We booked our honeymoon through Jeanette and as I'm sure everyone can appreciate its a pretty special and important occasion. It was a big decision for us to trust in someone else to make our dreams a reality and with all importance within budget. We gave Jeanette a rough idea of where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see and within the space a few short days and some great informative emails we were booked. lock stock and barrel! I didn't really know what to expect with some of the hotels but what a great surprise they were all top notch, all had fantastic location, services and the nicest of staff, central to everything when needed and secluded when we wanted to get away from it all. We really couldn't of asked for more, we were truly delighted with the whole service from start to finish and we couldn't recommend Jeanette more highly. She took the stress out of researching and booking hotels and flights; you name it she thought of it and furthermore had it all sorted. Alll we had to do was turn up and enjoy ourselves, couldn't be simpler. For those who have any hesitations in booking through Jeanette let me assure you there's no need, she's exceptionally nice and helpful not to mention patient! Above all her professionalism and attention will blow your mind. It takes a different kind of person to make a trip personal and special and Jeanette treats everyone like there one of her own. Thank you very much for everything we truly appreciate it and are very grateful.

If you are looking at this as you don't know whether to book with Jeanette… just do it. From the day I contacted Jeanette with my enquiry, she could not have been more helpful. I was looking for a holiday for myself and my boyfriend as a surprise for his 30th from his family. Due to different things I had to chop and change the itinerary a number of times without any hassle. Jeanette was very considerate about the situation and emailed me before ringing to ensure it remained a secret. Her advice regarding flight times and the choice of hotel was a massive advantage as I had been looking at a different hotel which she advised against and was so right after viewing the hotel. I am already looking forward to using this service again and can't see myself booking a holiday with anyone else.

We had spent months searching for a campsite that would meet the requirements of me and my wife and our two teenage boys. We were just about to settle on a site that was more of a compromise when we approached Jeanette. She couldn't have been more helpful and her expert knowledge of the area helped us find a brilliant campsite that we hadn't even considered in our previous research and one that is exciting to both kids and parents. Her advice on flights and car hire was very useful and her willingness to help and answer our questions was exemplary. All we need now is the weather!

Being a busy mum and running my own business, Jeanette took out all the stress and time involved for booking a holiday for myself and 9 of my friends.! She was so friendly, efficient, explained everything so clearly and gave great advice. Jeanette gave us many options to choose from, allowing us to pick a package that suited our needs best. In the past I have spent many weeks surfing the web, reading up on reviews of hotels etc. and ultimately taking a chance on where I have booked however now that I have booked with Jeanette I know we have received the best package and we are all so excited for our impending trip. Also knowing that we can contact Jeanette 24/7 while away is a great comfort. I will be highly recommending Jeanette to all my friends due to her exceptional level of personal service combined with her high knowledge of the travel market and I definitely look forward to contacting Jeanette again for future holidays.

We began with a basic idea of what we wanted to do and soon Jeanette had organised a comprehensive trip of a lifetime using her personal experience and knowledge.

From the first email until we arrive back home it is good to know Jeanette is just a phone call away should we encounter any problems. Thanks so much Jeanette.

For me, Jeanette “hit the nail on the head”. After a brief chat with Jeanette outlining my situation, needing to book a holiday with two teenage daughters, she came up with a holiday that made everyone happy. Thank you Jeanette for taking the stress of hours looking through brochures, wondering if the place is ok, how far is it from the airport etc., etc. She explained everything about the holiday to me in great detail and even the payment was easy. The follow up information was also very helpful. I would highly recommend Jeanette to anyone who needs help with planning a holiday or who knows what they want but have not got the time or patience for all the web browsing and brochure flicking.

Going on a family safari will be one of the most rewarding and exciting holidays you'll ever take. Yes, there are many factors to be considered and many restrictions so getting the right advice is essential. I’m regularly asked, ‘What is the right age to take our kids on safari?’ As a general rule I would recommend from the age of 10 upwards, bear in mind game-viewing is a patient exercise so t

Jet Setting Jungle Adventures

Langkawi, also known as the Jewel of Kedah, had been on my bucket-list forever, so I was really excited when I received an invitation to visit this Malaysian island along with a stay in Kuala Lumpur. I travelled with Malaysia Airlines in Business Class from London to Kuala Lumpur – flying time was 13 hours so having a spacious cabin and comfortable flatbed was a welcome treat. Great inflight ente

Sensational Singapore

13 March 2016

I travelled to Singapore in February with Singapore Airlines, this fact alone I was excited about. The airline didn’t disappoint and although the journey from London was a long 12 hours, travelling with Singapore Airlines made it effortless! Good food, movies and real comfort, before we knew it we had landed in Singapore. We checked into the beautiful and well situated Pan Pacific Orchard Road an

African Adventures

I flew to Durban via Doha on Qatar Airways. I was really impressed with their professional service. Their planes are exceptionally comfortable, very new and modern. I was delighted with the opportunity to travel Business Class on the outbound journey! Overall, it was a super experience, food, comfort and service.

California Dreamin'

24 March 2015

Flying from Heathrow with Virgin Atlantic, we had the benefit of travelling in Upper Class for the long flight to Los Angeles. With fantastic food, great entertainment, excellent service and a bed to catch some sleep, we arrived in Los Angeles feeling set to go! On the west side of Los Angeles, just north of the offbeat scene of Venice Beach and just south of the please-no-photographs exclusivit

Dazzling Dubai

14 April 2014

Dubai is more than a place to visit, it is a place to experience, a one of a kind destination. We flew direct from Dublin to Dubai with Emirates, in Business Class which was outstanding – fantastic food, exceptional comfort, super entertainment and faultless service. On our first morning, after an impressive breakfast, we took to the skies in a seaplane for an aerial tour of Dubai. I would hi

Motorhome USA Road Trip

21 January 2014

A holiday in a motorhome may not be on everyone’s ‘to do list’, however, I would recommend it to all, from singles, to couples and especially families - with your fridge and bathroom at your back what more could you need! Exploring America in a motor home is an exciting adventure - you get to be in control and spend as much or as little time in each place as you choose. We flew Dublin to Los

Camping holiday in France

15 January 2014

We have taken many ‘mobile home’ holidays in Europe - it offers great flexibility, kids have plenty of immediate outdoor space to play, the self-catering is handy to have and for the most part we can tailor it so that we all get something out of the holiday! On this occasion we flew to Rodez, which was a 2 hour drive north of our coastal destination, Agde, France. We collected our hire car and s

Family Skiing in Kaprun, Austria

Choosing a ski resort can be challenging! After much research we finally settled on Kaprun in Austria - a short transfer time, family friendly and being beside Zell am See/glacier ski option, were the main attractions for us. We flew to Salzburg, collected our hire car and headed south for Kaprun. This was to be our fourth family ski holiday, however our first time to stay self-catering in a town

Viva Las Vegas

15 January 2014

Las Vegas, which ironically means ‘the meadows’ in Spanish, was everything we expected it to be and more. Nothing can prepare you for your first sight of Las Vegas with its movie-set skyline and spectacular lights. ‘The Strip’ in Las Vegas is a 4 mile long road, lined with some of the world’s biggest hotels, resorts and casinos, in fact six out of ten of the world's largest hotels are located
