West Highland Way
All of the arrangements made by Mickledore for our hike along the West Highland Way were excellent. The selected lodgings and accommodations were perfect and the luggage transfer service worked flawlessly. Also, all of the lodges and inns correctly recorded our request for a packed trail lunch each day. The entire trip was hassle-free and well-organized.
Mickledore was prompt, responsive and helpful every step of the way in arranging our trip. I truly felt as if they had our best interest at heart through each portion of the planning and booking process.

Excellent Cotswold Way Walk (self- tour)
We just returned from a Cotswold Way Walk organized by Mickledore Travel as a self tour. We had an excellent time hiking the entire 103 miles of trail from Chipping Campden to Bath. We chose the 9 day tour which averaged 10-15 miles a day. Mickeldore booked us into B&B's and Inns along the trail. The accommodations were first-rate and we had no problems at all with any of the accommodation, or the transfer of our luggage. Most accommodations were right off the trail, or only a short distance away. Every day was a fantastic journey, ending with luggage in the room, a hot shower, and a comfy bed.
This self guided walk, organized by Mickeldore Travel was excellent. The information we received such as maps, trail guides, services, and accommodations were well organized and extremely useful. They left nothing to chance. No complaints at all regarding any of the B&B's or inns. We enjoyed each one and its uniqueness to the community. I would definitely book another tour with Mickeldore. Thank you, Mickeldore for organizing a great walk (thanks for the great weather you provided also!). We could not have planned a more complete walking vacation without your wonderful service.

A brilliant time!
What a great experience. This is my first experience of a self-guided walking holiday with luggage transfer. What a revelation. No struggling over hills with a heavy backpack. Clean dry clothes every night.Bliss!
I liked that Mickledore offered a variety of itineraries for the West Highland Way, from long days down to the more leisurely 9 days walking variant. The accommodation arranged was all comfortable and welcoming.
The West Highland Way is a beautiful trail, with some challenging parts, but is achievable by most people with moderate fitness if you pick the correct itinerery.
Brilliant support. Simple booking process even though I booked quite late. Really comprehensive information pack including
- a map
- a guidebook
- a list of restaurants and services near the trail
- detailed information about how to find your accommodation each night.

Great cycling holiday!
I had a last minute opportunity for a 1week cycling holiday in my agenda but no time left to organise it all.
Mickledore took all this on and did an excellent job!
I choose to combine the C2C and Hadrian Cycleway routes to make it into a C2C2C. Mickledore had all accomdation booked in no time and my documentation pack was waiting for me at the first B&B.
At each of the following B&B's I found a warm welcome, a comfortable bed and good food.
They even had addresses for cycle repair ! (which I also "tested" during my trip)
Great service!

Fantastic trip--easy planning!
I walked the West Highland Way using Mickledore to arrange accommodation and baggage transfer. Everything was very smooth, and all information accurate. They were always quick to respond to questions. The holiday could not have been better!
Quick to respond with questions, easy to work with, everything went well as planned. Price seemed very fair! I have recommended them to friends and will use them again.

Well organised hiking holiday
Together with two friends I booked a hiking holiday to walk the West Highland Way in Scotland with Mickledore Travel. They provided us with all the information required to complete the walk safely. All our accommodation was pre booked, our luggage forwarded, and transfers organised where required. All we had to do was enjoy the hiking. Bed and Breakfast accommodation was of a high standard at 90% of locations, bearing in mind the remoteness of some locations where only one hotel was available, it was obvious where more choice was available, we got the best. This was the second holiday we had booked with Mickledore travel, and would not hesitate in using them again in the future.
Very friendly, efficient, helpful.

Honestly, the organisation is perfect!
We walked along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path for 5 days. What a beautiful area Gorgeous scenery, path well indicated, we were immersed in nature, between countryside and cliffs for the whiole time. The best way to relax! What a pleasure to find kind hosts and clean rooms and bathrooms at our arrival!
Mickledore is efficient, the planning is excellent. The information is perfect, they answer questions immediately. It is the third time we travel with them and we are planning to do so next summer. I absolutely recommend them.

Fabulous holiday walking the Hadrian's Wall Way
Just back from 9 days of walking, with 2 relaxing rest days, along the Hadrian's Wall Way. Splendid views, great accommodation, delicious food, fascinating history and, as an added bonus, we managed to avoid the rain!
Mickledore did an excellent job of organising top class accommodation which provided welcoming hosts, very good rooms and tasty breakfasts. The maps and information provided were great and the luggage transfers worked seamlessly. They provided a great itinerary based on our wish for time to take in the scenery and the historical sights and also sorted parking and transport back to the start. Would highly recommend them.
