West Highland Way by Jann C, 16 Sep 2023
Holiday Rating:

Walking in bonnie Scotland.

My friends and I have walked with Mickledore on a previous occasion, on the Coast to Coast in England. Having enjoyed that so much, we then booked the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way in Scotland for our next walking adventure. It was everything we could have wished for, supported by the wonderful organisation and expertise that Mickledore offered.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore offer a wide range of walks in the UK to suit all abilities and tastes. The pre-departure support is fantastic, with excellent, prompt communication and the provision of a very comprehensive holiday package providing all the information you could possibly need, along with great guide books, maps and walking notes. The accomodation they select and book is always of a high standard with lovely hosts, and luggage transfer is seamless.

Settle to Carlisle Way by The Travelhogs, 12 Sep 2023
Holiday Rating:

Another great walking hoiday!

This was a longer walk than our intro to long distance walking along the Dalesway the year before. From the high moors to the northern river valley along the Settle to Carlisle way. We thoroughly enjoyed this walk of two halves. Good accommodation, food and weather certainly helped! We're now looking to book our third trip, trouble is, there's tooooo much choice!!! :)

This is our second walking holiday with mickledore and once again we received great service from start to finish. Contact varied from phone call, e-mail and face to face with mickledore, prompt replies each time. All went without a hitch.

Hadrian's Wall by Boston USA, 30 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Great adventure, but uncooperative weather

We walked along Hadrian’s Wall this past summer. We chose to start in Carlisle and end in Corbridge rather than walk in the eastern marsh area and in Newcastle. The only thing they couldn’t arrange was the weather, which did not cooperate during this very rainy summer. We learned much about the Romans and enjoyed the beautiful countryside. The B & B’s were great. We had never done a “Walking Holiday” before.

Rating for tour operator:

We used Mickledore to plan the walking holiday. Mickledore did a GREAT job arranging B & B’s, giving us detailed maps and books, giving us lots of information about where we could find restaurants, food, cash, toilets, taxis, buses, emergency aid, etc. It made us feel very comfortable taking this adventure. We also appreciated the many choices for how far to walk and how many days we wanted.

Northumberland Coast Path by Gibby, 28 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Better than anticipated

Great walking holiday following the Northumberland Coast Path from Cresswell to Berwick Upon Tweed. It is a part of the country I am not familiar with but loved the wide open vistas, extensive beaches, castles and warm friendly people. We also had excellent local food.

Isle of Wight by Blond hiker, 25 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Fantastic coast walk

Walked the coastal path around the Isle of Wight. Stayed in B&B's and hotels along the way, which had been organised by Mickledore. All of the places we stayed were brilliant and some even took our bags up to our rooms.

A perfect hike along the Hadrian's wall

Mickledore organized a perfect holiday, from the communication with the staff, the itinerary they cleverly suggested to the accomodation they selected. I had a ball, and I am recommending this path with Mickledore to everyone around me, while I am already preparing my next hike with Michledore.

Very friendly and helpful from very first phone call. Everything was taken care of accommodation, luggage transfer, packed lunches and taxi transfers. Excellent standard of accommodation. Guide book was invaluable too. Will definitely be booking again.
