Taking the stress out of booking
We were made to feel at ease throughout the whole process . Bethany was enthusiastic , Informative and listened to our needs but came up with suggestions and recommendations. Once a decision was made on destination nothing was too much trouble and great suggestions made to make our trip as memorable as possible. We wanted someone to take away the stress so that we could concentrate on the finer detail and this was certainly achieved

Always use Hays as they are always so helpful
We have been using Hays Travel for the past 6 years both in Dawlish and Teignmouth, because the staff are always very helpful and go out of their way to get us the best deal
Isis in Dawlish booked our latest holiday and she, like all the other staff at Hays, spent a lot of time getting the booking right.

Nothing was too much trouble
Nothing was too much trouble for Isis in helping my daughter & I find the cruise we wanted. She made suggestions which led to us booking a different cruise in 2027 rather than one in 2026 as it was better value. She then found us a cheaper cruise for this year by letting us know when the cheaper cruises were released. So instead of the one cruise we planned we ended up booking two. We are very pleased with the friendliness of all the staff we saw at the Dawlish office.

We felt like valued customers.
Staff we encountered were all friendly and well-informed but if they didn't know an answer they took steps to find out, sometimes using the greater knowledge and experience of other staff.
We felt valued and well looked after.
