Ridgeway by Karen, 6 May 2025
Holiday Rating:

Another great Mickledore trip.

Just back from doing the Ridgeway walk in four days (five nights) from Avebury to Streatley with my dog. This was a superb walk with spectacular countryside and great places to stay.

Mickledore planned a fantastic bespoke holiday, considering every detail. Taxi transfers and accommodation were first class.

Hadrian's Wall by Brian, 31 Mar 2025
Holiday Rating:

Very well organized

I have done several walks with Mickledore and they are always well organized and thoughtfully planned out. Everything usually goes according to plan and the rare time it doesn’t, the company quickly makes things right.

Mickledore, exellent again!

Our sixt holiday with Mickledore, this year we walked the Cleveland Way. As always: everything was well in order, from the holiday pack to the B&B's. Even other walkers asked us who booked our lovely places. Would recomment Mickkledore to everyone who likes to walk in Great Britain and wants to have a carefree holiday!

North Lakes Traverse by Fox, 24 Oct 2024
Holiday Rating:

Crazy

It was a beautiful holiday, too hilly for me so I made my own path, my grown up children walked very fast while I like to look around a bit more, but we enjoyed it!

West Highland Way by Phil, 22 Oct 2024

All is not lost.

We booked to walk the 8-day Weast Highland Way through Mickledore. As a couple of mid 70-year-olds we have a lot of walking experience but last-minute injuries took prominence on day 2 and we had to stop walking and continue the holiday by various modes of transport. But the fact that all the organisation and support worked so well meant that we still enjoyed the experience. We always knew that our luggage would be there at the next stop, ...

We booked to walk the 8-day Weast Highland Way through Mickledore. As a couple of mid 70-year-olds we have a lot of walking experience but last-minute injuries took prominence on day 2 and we had to stop walking and continue the holiday by various modes of transport. But the fact that all the organisation and support worked so well meant that we still enjoyed the experience. We always knew that our luggage would be there at the next stop, the accommodation would be of a good comfortable standard, and there would be support at the end of a telephone if we needed it. It was not the holiday we had originally planned for but a great experience none the less.

Rating for tour operator:

Any walking holiday is dependent on the weather, fitness and lack of injuries, any of which can conspire to reduce the enjoyment. The knowledge that the organisational input has been demonstrated in the information pack and personal contact over the telephone gave us the certainty that things would work out if needed. I was particularly impressed by the personal touch shown by the staff over the telephone prior to going and in being kept up to date with any changes to the schedule and accommodation. Having Micklemore to dealing with the logistics of moving luggage and making bookings for accommodation was exceptional. Plus the fact that we know that can arrange with Mickledore for a bespoke holiday to continue part of the walk at a later date.

Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the holiday despite your injuries changing the plan. We look forward to booking something bespoke for you so you can finish the walking part you missed. Hayley

Ridgeway by Ricky, 21 Oct 2024

FABULOUS MICKLEDORE

We have just completed the second half of the Ridgeway walk. We did the first half in May. Beautiful and interesting walk. Varied scenery throughout. We chose the six night holiday giving us ample time to enjoy everything. Overnight stops in Streatley, Wendover and Aldbury with Mickledore providing the taxis when necessary.

Rating for tour operator:

We have had many walking holidays with Mickledore. All have been terrific. Their choice of walks, choice of miles per day and overnight stays have always been excellent. Dealing with the team is always a pleasure - without except they are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We would never book walking holidays with anyone else.

Hadrian's Wall by Stuart, 16 Oct 2024
Holiday Rating:

An exceptional walking holiday that 'ran' like clockwork!

I booked the Hadrian's Wall walk within 10 days of departing and the Mickledore team couldn't have been ore helpful or accommodating in resolving final queries and expediting the pack and itinerary to me.This was my first solo traveler experience, and the hosts of all of the B&B's couldn't made me feel more welcome. A first class service covering one of the nicest walking routes in the UK.

Cotswold Round by Cotswoldwanderer, 15 Oct 2024
Holiday Rating:

Rolling hills and quaint villages

Mickledore's Cotswold Round is a lovely walk, linking visits to pretty villages to strolls across farmland, whilst crossing small rivers and enjoying wide views across the hills. Crossing this part of the country can even be made more enjoyable by taking time for some of the many gardens (nearly) along the route or historical buildings like Sudely castle.

Rating for tour operator:

Dealing with Mickledore is dealing with pleasant people, fast returns to emails and clear answers to urgent questions. Thinking along with the customer, me, and also considering various possibilities, clearly laid out with financial and practical consequences helps deciding on the right design for the holiday. A well filled batch of written information turns out to be very helpfull and enjoyable during the trip.
