Cotswold Way by bookwormexplorer, 26 Jun 2025
Holiday Rating:

A wonderful walk through the Cotswolds

A really great 8 days walking the Cotswold way. starting at Chipping Campden in the north and ending at Bath. Although some of the stages were quite long, the walk passed through some beautiful villages with lots of great scenery along the way. There were plenty of interesting sites along the way - old churches, neolithic long barrows, iron age hill forts and hill top towers. All really interesting and really satisfying to look back at the ...

A really great 8 days walking the Cotswold way. starting at Chipping Campden in the north and ending at Bath. Although some of the stages were quite long, the walk passed through some beautiful villages with lots of great scenery along the way. There were plenty of interesting sites along the way - old churches, neolithic long barrows, iron age hill forts and hill top towers. All really interesting and really satisfying to look back at the end of each day's walk and think - did I really come all this way?

Rating for tour operator:

Great experience with Mickledore, everything was very well arranged and the information pack they sent out beforehand was really comprehensive and invaluable in planning each stage. Couldn't fault anything.

South West Coast Path by Addickted, 25 Jun 2025
Holiday Rating:

A long, tiring but fantasically enjoyable walk

Self-guided walking for 8 days on the South West Coast path from Minehead to Westward Ho, about 90 miles. The weather was glorious, sunny but not too hot (which helped) and the coastal scenery was spectacular, undulating for the first few days, then flattening out.

Essentially Mickeldore are an agent that organise accommodation and luggage plus an occaional taxi tranafer if you are staying away from the trail. They also supply the necessary route documentation. They are are very efficient in all these aspects and communicate well. Clearly one could organise this all oneself, but in practice this would be a nightmare where accommodation is in short supply and possibly not much cheaper (if at all).

The South West Coast Path is even more beautiful with the sun shining.

Cleveland Way by PaulineR, 22 Jun 2025

Another well organised itinerary from Mickledore

We walked the Cleveland Way in May. 110 miles over 11days. Accomodation was varied including village pubs, B&Bs and even a beautiful 4* country house hotel. The route was generally well sign posted and we enjoyed a great contrast in scenery, walking through farmland, woodland and moorland, and then along the beautiful coastal path. Taxi transfers were included where accomodation was too far off route, luggage transfers worked effectively and ...

Rating for tour operator:

We love the fact that Mickledore has a great range of long distance walks and plenty of options for slower walkers, such as ourselves, with lower mileage each day. Mickledore are consistently good in their communication with clients and we were impressed that they responded personally to us regarding our feedback on the accomodation in a couple of remote locations where standards were less than ideal - they indicated that they would look at better options in future, even if it involved taxi transfers. Overall, we had a great holiday and feel that Mickledore genuinely have clients' best interests at heart.

Jersey Coastal Path by Cindy and Martijn, 21 Jun 2025
Holiday Rating:

Yet again another excellent trip organized by Mickledore

Mickledore arranged for us two walking holidays (Jersey and Devon). This means they arranged all B&Bs and luggage transport. Also they provided an excellent information package covering all kinds of useful information, and they arranged transport to accomodations whenever they were not nearby to Path. Finally, they have a highly responsive and very helpful customer service.

West Highland Way by Helena C, 15 Jun 2025

West Highland Way adventure plus Ben Nevis

Great walking trail from north Glasgow to Fort William. Lucky to have had good weather and great accommodation arranged for me with baggage transferred. I added an extra night in Fort William to give me the opportunity to climb Ben Nevis.

Mickledore are a great company to use when booking your UK based walking holidays. They have lots of knowledge and experience and are easy to talk to. I managed to get all my accommodation on the route and was very happy with all the places I stayed at. This is the first time I have used them as I have only just developed an interest in long distance trails and will definitely be using them again. They provide you with an excellent pack with detailed information to help with your trip.

We booked our John Muir Way Hiking Holiday at Mickledore and from the beginning everything was very well organized. Communication was easy and the documents arrived on time but where available earlier in the Mickledore App before they arrived by Postal Mail. Mickledore booked good B&Bs , Inns and Hotel so we had nice stay. Also luggage Transport went quite well (luggage was there when we arrive and in some cases we meet the Driver for the luggage Transport). Also the Taxi Transfer was well organized and went quite will. Taxi Driver was so kind and provided us a sightseeing tour in the town and showed to us the best restaurants (these weere also in the list from Mickledore). The John Muir Way was as described. First two hiking days and the last two days are the bests days. The three days on the Canal was not so good and includes lot of Tarmac with is not so good for hikers.

Rating for tour operator:

This was our Holiday Number four with Mickledore and every Holiday way organized well and also the tips regarding local facilities like restaurants was very well. Maps and guide books are really good. For Hiking trips in the UK i only recommend Mickledore to anybody who asked about hiking in UK
