Mels is breath of fresh air and so friendly

I have always booked my holidays with Kassandra for 25 years. Her service is always professional, courteous and goes above and beyond when sorting my many holidays ! Where ever she moves to I will move my business to! Mels travel has been the best!

A local company.

A local company using local staff and working with local people. Nothing is too much bother for Mel and the team. You are always served with a smile and a case full of enthusiasm. Ask a question and they will give you an answer. We have used them for the last few years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Thailand Holiday

We’ve just got back from a 18 night holiday to Thailand. From initially enquiring with the places we wanted to visit, to booking and completing the holiday, everything was perfect. The itinery was perfect, and also had 2 internal flights included. Even when we had an enquiry whilst away regarding a transfer time, the team at Mel’s travel responded to our email within the hour. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

Coxhoe shop is 10 out of 10

All the girls in the shop are very friendly, helpful, and very professional and I always get a good deal.

A big thank you to Shannon for sorting my holidays out, everything was spot on and went smoothly.

I would certainly recommend Mel's Travel for booking holidays.

Excellent company

Excellent company, they go above and beyond when helping. Rachel in particular has been a superstar today helping sort out mobility issues my husband has for our holiday in Cyprus.
Great team wouldn’t book anywhere else.

Highly recommend Mel's Travel

It's the first time I have used Mels Travel. A friend recommended Mels Travel to me, and they did not disappoint. The level of service is excellent.

I am quite naive when it comes to the world of travel. They have taken care of everything, booking flights, accommodations, and seats. I will definitely be using them again for our next trip abroad. I highly recommend them.

Mel was perfect and really helpful.
Answered and got back to me late at night which was really fantastic and got booked within minutes. We got the best price available which was excellent deal.

Mel and her team handled everything such as checking in and getting our seats sorted.

We fly out tomorrow and can't wait !!

Thank you Mel 😊

Ferryhill Mels travel - caitlin

Specifically the Ferryhill Mels travel. We booked with Caitlin and it was a 10/10 experience. Trying to book our honeymoon, we were very indecisive and back and forth. Caitlin was so patient, sent us so many different holidays to try help us and provided a lot of info about each holiday, after a million questions from our part and indeciveness we finally booked and couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!

First class service from the Team

I have used Mel's Travel for the past couple of years when booking my holiday and I would not go anywhere else as they are amazing.

I really can't thank her enough, she has the patience of a saint and nothing is ever too much trouble for her. Thank you x
