A brilliant booking experience from start to finish

Julie has been fantastic at helping us book our family holiday this summer. She could not have been more helpful and has sorted everything we need from the airport and beyond. We couldn't recommend booking with her highly enough as she has totally taken the stress away.

Staff member was excellent!

Staff member was extremely helpful and made it so easy to get my holiday with everything I wanted.Have used Barrhead Travel many times and always feel safe and can go back if any problems arise or need help with anything .

Very helpful staff

Your agents spent a lot of time trying to book our cruise which we had pre-registered the week before since P&O's booking site didn't ope on the due date and was two day late in opening for booking. They also kept us up o date with the reason for the delay.

Spoke with Katie at Barrhead travel and she was absolutely amazing. Never booked a holiday so easy, this was the first time using Barrhead and will defiantly be my go to now. Thank you so much Katie

Unexceptional

I don’t expect to have to chase things up when we don’t hear from the 3rd party whom my holiday was booked with. I expect the advisor to know what happens next and advise me accordingly. If you choose to book through a third party then you should know what is needed.

Highly recommend Barrhead

We gave booked three holidays with Barrhead this year. The staff at the Newcastle under Lyme office are all extremely helpful, especially Emma. They go the extra mile to give you the holidays you want and are always very friendly and helpful.

Lee Holroyd was very helpful and addressed our queries quickly and efficiently. One passengers name was misspelt on the paperwork and once I emailed Lee this was corrected immediately and I received the amended paperwork the same day. Very efficient.

Excellent customer experience

The staff at Barrhead travel Hamilton are very experienced and professional. I booked my cruise last year with Lucy and due to the service I received returned to book again this year. Lucy took the time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted at the best price.

2 New York City beaches make Travel + Leisure's "25 Best in the USA." See the complete list.

By Dave Carlin

Updated on: April 29, 2024 / 6:47 PM EDT / CBS New York

NEW YORK -- Travel + Leisure magazine's annual list of the 25 best beaches in the U.S. includes a pair of popular ones right here in New York City.

The two beaches are sharing the prestigious space with other sun, sand and surf spots in places like Hawaii, California and Florida.

George Schlereth of Forest Hills said his love for Rockaway Beach predates the hit 1978 song by the Ramones with lyrics that went, "Rock, rock, Rockaway Beach."

"It's a great place to spend the afternoon. It's the best place you could go," Schlereth said.

So what else makes Rockaway Beach such a fan favorite?  

Travel + Leisure praised Rockaway Beach's "Five-mile boardwalk, and surf-worthy waves."

"It's definitely very diverse. People come from all over come here," said Kristen Supple of Far Rockaway.

"Rockaway Beach, because I love like the waves and boogie boarding and they have great ice cream and food," said 10-year-old Jordan Cannetti.

"I used to come here as a kid with my parents and family and it's just night and day. The boardwalk, it's just amazing. Now, the restaurant," his father said. "The parks along the boardwalk are just amazing. Ninja Park is great The pickle ball, the basketball."

"They spent so much money fixing up the Rockaways. They brought in more people, more families down there. The place is packed now," Schlereth added.

And let's not forget the amazing Coney Island   

Coney Island bubbled up to the Top 25 as well, with the editors of Travel + Leisure writing, "Coney Island is a perfect seaside wonderland of nostalgia and kitschy fun."

Kenya Dethan, who is 7, called it her favorite beach.

"I like the nice water. I like going on the roller coasters," Dethan said.

The thing about Coney Island is there is so much to do -- sand and surf, the boardwalk with the amusements, and the food and drinks -- all of it rain or shine.

"Number one in the world, Coney Island," resident David Dingle said. "Best of both worlds. You're at the beach and the stores all together, all in one place. Once you're here, you don't want to go back home."

Also making the best beaches list is the New Jersey favorite for fun, Asbury Park. It's the hometown of music legend Bruce Springsteen and features clubs like The Stone Pony , which keep the town highly rated and rockin'.

• Asbury Park
• Coney Island
• Rockaway Beach
