It's Nice To Meet You

With over 40 years' experience in the Travel business, I delight in using my wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience of destinations to make holiday recommendations to my clients.

I specialise in tailor-made travel arrangements to suit my clients’ specific needs. I give advice, plan, and arrange idyllic honeymoons, African adventures and bucket list trips worldwide ensuring wonderful memories for the future. I can book extras such as theme park tickets, car hire, sightseeing, theatre tickets and travel insurance and I often deal with individuals, couples, families, groups, and clubs.

Why trust me with your travel arrangements? I offer more choices, individual itineraries, and the very important extras with a personal service which no retail travel agency or online web site can. Travel Counsellors are licensed and bonded in Ireland with the Commission for Aviation Regulation, so your money is secure with us. I have the back-up of a team of over 200 people in our Head Office including a 24-hour emergency service should the need arise.

No queuing, no parking, no restrictions to just one tour operator or brochure, and all at a time to suit YOU, including evenings and weekends. I have the most up to date technology at my fingertips and access to all aspects of reservations with instant confirmation available.

My aim is to give the highest possible customer service and to ensure that all travel arrangements I make for my clients exceed expectations. I am proud to be a part of the Travel Counsellor family for over 17 years which gives me the tools to be the best at what I do - looking after my clients with dedication and 100% personal service.

Great service from Sherry as usual, trip was trouble free because everything was organized so well.

Sherry has been fantastic. So easy to get in contact with and just an all round pleasure to work with planning our once in a lifetime trip.

Sherry listened to what we both wanted for our honeymoon and came back with a package that suits our needs.

Sent by Áinnle O'Neill

Sherry came highly recommended by friends of ours for whom she had organised a memorable trip to Australia. As this is our 40th Wedding Anniversary we wanted something special for June 2017. We had an idea that we would like to travel in Canada by train, starting in Toronto - but nothing more. Sherry drew up an itinerary for us and with a few minor tweaks, Marian and I were planning our holiday wardrobe! Sincere thanks, Sherry.

Once again you have come up trumps. We had a wonderful holiday thanks in no small measure to your recommendations and expertise.When the vouchers arrived in the post they were a bit intimidating but everything went like clockwok.You really understood how to get the most out of the fortnight so that everybody got the holiday they wanted.We saw so much. Once again, congratulations for another brilliant job Sherry.

I did not have to worry about any aspect of my holiday, Sherry did everything for us including private transfers to and from the hotel. Delighted with the service, highly recommended, thanks Sherry.

Sherry, as a family we can't thank you enough for all your work booking hotels, villa and car hire for our recent trip to Portugal for our son’s wedding. You took all the worries away from us and the hotel was absolutely lovely for our one night stay and the villa met and exceeded all our expectations. It was ideally situated in walking distance from the centre. Our extended family enjoyed the amenities within the villa which included a large kitchen and laundry room. The 5 bedrooms had private bathrooms and we were able to swim and have family barbecues without having to leave the villa. We enjoyed it very much. You really knew what we needed and it has left us with lovely memories and lots of photographs. On your recommendation we moved to Alvor following the busy schedule we had for the wedding and we relaxed and enjoyed the self-catering apartment right beside the beach which was lovely! Thank you so much - you know we will be back to you!

First class service, one phone call to Sherry and everything is taken care of. I would highly recommend her.

I have been using Sherry Meagle as my Travel Counsellor since 2009 where she organised my honeymoon. We hadn't an idea of where to start and Sherry kindly visited our home after working hours and sat through a number of different options for us. Since 2009 I have used Sherry for every holiday I have had since, and have had no hesitation in highly recommending her to friends and family. Sherry has always given me great peace of mind that everything is looked after from deciding on location to booking flights, transfers to hotels. I will continue to use Sherry for all future holidays and will continue recommending her to friends, family and colleagues.

Very efficient, prompt and friendly - I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other people.

I have recommened Sherry Meagle to many of my friends and family and all are very happy with the excellent service.

Sherry is very professional and was most helpful! We will be using her for any travel done in the future!

I have contacted Sherry in a panic on more than one occasion. Sherry has dealt with my requests in a calm, professional and very friendly manner. At no time was I told my request was not possible and Sherry went above and beyond to accommodate my travel needs to the point of going out of her way to meet me with travel documents and information and secure the best price. She's the best! Thank-you.

Sent by Gillian Hussey

As an older traveller it is wonderful to have someone like Sherry to relieve me of the stress of managing my bookings for flights to my destinations and anything else that is relevant to my enjoyment of my time away. I have no hesitation in recommending that others try it out. I imagine you will find the experience one that you will repeat again and again. Happy travelling!

As usual all Sherrys arrangements were excellent.

Sherry is always very helpful with all our enquiries and we are very happy to deal with her.

I just wanted to write a quick note to say how wonderful Sherry was in helping us to organise our honeymoon in Italy and Slovenia. Nothing was insurmountable to her and she was a pleasure to deal with over the phone. We moved around a lot on our trip and it was brilliant to have all our train tickets and accommodation organised in advance. Everything went very smoothly. Thanks Sherry

Sent by Jean Lyons

I have used Sherry's professional travel service 3 times now for myself and my family and not only does she organise the best deals and best places to stay, she uses her own experience to make sure that your holiday is tailormade for you. Sherry takes all the stress out of organising a holiday and leaves you to get on with the important stuff - enjoying the perfect break away..

Sent by Cyril Geran

I am delighted to say that we were very pleased with the arrangements you made and the service we got from you. All the various connections worked and your advice was invaluable. I suppose the best I can say is that I have passed on your name to a friend of mine who is quite a traveller. Of course I will continue to keep in touch.

When looking to book a family holiday in America a friend mentioned Travel Counsellors. Having contacted Sherry and explained what we wanted I just sat back and let her do all the hard work! Nothing was too much trouble and she listened to what we wanted to try and do and see in our 3 weeks and came up with a brilliant itinerary at a reasonable price. I've no hesitation in recommending her.

Escape to the sun

04 April 2019

I love last minute trips. The spontaneous decision on a Monday to grab a few days away and head off on Wednesday – absolute bliss That is exactly what I did recently after mid-term when flight prices are at their lowest. I stayed 5 nights in Puerto Mogan in Gran Canaria which has to be one of the most relaxing places in the Canaries. There is a great selection of hotels and apartments available

Christmas Cruise

28 February 2019

When a friend suggested getting away for Christmas, my answer was a very quick YES, YES, YES! For the first time ever, my children were happy to not be home for Christmas and had alternative plans, so I could happily avoid all the shopping (and over spending), the food preparation and cooking and the cleaning up afterwards! We decided on a Caribbean Cruise so we could enjoy some sunshine, a

Nerja, Costa del Sol

27 February 2019

The Costa del Sol in the south of Spain is a second home to many Irish travellers. Everybody knows the resorts of Marbella, Benalmadena and Torremolinos. But there is another side to the Costa del Sol, not as well known but which has a certain magical charm to it and retains a very distinctive Andalucian atmosphere. Nerja is approx. 60kms on the other side (east) of Malaga to the more w

Playa Amadores, Gran Canaria

27 February 2019

How lucky am I to work in this fabulous business and get the opportunity to travel! I was even luckier than normal when I won 7 nights accommodation at the 4 star Gloria Palace Royal in Playa Amadores, Gran Canaria. With my trusty travel companion, Martin (my husband) we availed of this wonderful prize in October and had a wonderful week. The weather was gorgeous, the hotel was fabulous and the

Short but very sweet

A two night stay in the beautiful, romantic city of Verona including an evening at the opera - what a wonderful mini break! The Verona Opera season is world renowned and for very good reason. The venue is unique - an open air Roman arena built in the 1st century and with a coloured and chequered history! Even without an opera visit, Verona is a gorgeous destination for a city break. It is v

Amazing Japan

26 February 2019

From talking to friends and clients, I know that Japan is on a lot of people's bucket lists. It was certainly on mine for as long as I can remember and my wish to go there came true last October. It was without doubt one of my best holidays ever and I would have absolutely no hesitation in going back again if I got the opportunity. I split my 10 night trip into 3 separate locations - Tok

Magical Alaskan Cruise

21 September 2017

After this, my second full cruise, I am totally convinced - cruising is my favourite type of holiday! So much to see and do, places to visit, people to meet and you only have to unpack once - magic! To cruise on a 5-star ship on an itinerary that takes in Canada and Alaska is the stuff bucket lists are made of and this is exactly what myself and my daughter had the privilege of doing. 3

Mediterranean Cruise

06 September 2010

There is something very special about arriving at a cruise terminal and seeing your ship! No matter how many 5 star hotels you may have been lucky enough to stay in; there is something about the sheer size and brightness of a cruise ship which gets the excitement building! So when our transfer car dropped us at the cruise terminal in Barcelona on the 24th May 2010 and we saw Adventure of the S

Lanzarote an island for all seasons

17 November 2009

The Canary Islands and Lanzarote in particular, have always been a very popular destination for sun holidays from Ireland. The year round sunshine, duty free shopping and excellent accommodation all add up to the perfect destination with a reasonably short flying time. Most people are happy to lie by the pool or on the beach during the day and enjoy the wonderful cuisine and entertainment at

Barbados

23 October 2008

I was lucky enough to be invited to join a group of travel agents on a visit to Barbados in September. It was my first visit to the Caribbean but will definitely not be my last! I absolutely loved it and one of the things which impressed me the most was the hospitality of the Bajan people. I have never met such open, welcoming and pleasant people in all of my travels.
