I fell ill really suddenly last year…
I fell ill really suddenly last year and phoned Thorne travel up to say 4 days before my holiday that I would need to cancel.
They went above and beyond to help me get some sort of compensation.
To my delight within 2 hours I had a voucher for the full amount that I could use within a year.
I'm just back from 10 days in Ibiza with my family and would definitely book with Thorne travel again.

Excellent Travel Agent
My wife and I have booked many holidays through Thorne Travel, we have always found Shona and every member of staff helpful, courteous, and very efficient.
They make the whole process so easy from booking to checking in and emailing boarding passes to us while we are away.
We would never contemplate booking our holidays anywhere else and have recommended Thorne Travel to all our friends.

Just Perfect !
Having turned the clock back we popped into Thorne Travel in Largs to book a getaway, the traditional way !
I can gladly say that following being treated to the most VIP customer care experience, we will be enjoying a trip to Italy for the first time this May.
Everything that we could have hoped for was provided by the fabulous staff and we can’t quantify how much we appreciated our time at the branch.
Thank You all and look forward to booking more trips in the future !

The Thorne Travel Experience
We have used Thorne Travel for a number of years now and enjoyed many holidays, day trips etc. My main reason at the start was to book a troublefree holiday without the stress of me doing it myself and worrying if it was organised correctly, this has always been the case.
Over the years we have built up a relationship with all the Staff who make sure your booking is made to your satisfaction and contacting our accomodation to ensure we get what we want. This is all part of the service we have came to enjoy. All my family and friends go to Shona and her team to book their Holidays too which further backs my recommendation to anyone wanting to book a Holiday or Trip through Thorne Travel. In fact we have a member of staff right now organising a special holiday for 2022, give them a try and join the Thorne Travel Bonus Group for to minute deals 😎👍
