Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

Two 60-something Australian keen walkers spent 10 days on the WHW walk. Mickledore Travel was a pleasure to deal with in the planning phase and provided excellent service thereafter. Accommodation choices were spot-on, the planned walking days were easily achieved and route finding maps and information were comprehensive. We are looking forward to utilising this company's experience in further explorations of Scotland's highlands and islands,and other options on their menu.

Mickledore Travel organised our 3-day walk holiday and supplied all necessary maps & instructions to make our walk perfect. The accommodation they booked was all excellent and the proprietors were very helpful & friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was organised so well. The Linnet Hill Guest House in Keswick was the best B&B we have seen. Congratulations to Mickledore Travel who were faultless in their service. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Mickledore Travel have to be one of the best tour operators we have experienced. The quick responses to our emails & queries, and the information they provided, made for a stress-free and enjoyable holiday.

We walked St Cuthbert's Way from Melrose to Lindisfarne over 8 days in June using Mickledore to plan it and organise accommodation and the forwarding of luggage etc. We are a couple in our late sixties and found the walk easy to manage with no great ascents and descents involved, lots of woodland,moors, flora and fauna to enjoy, as well as the wonderful historical places passed through. Having started our trip in Dublin where we saw the luminous medieval book of Kells, it was pleasing to end our time in the UK at Holy Island and see the wonderful priory where the monks resided.

We have used this company before and find it by far the most professional of several we have used. In particular we valued their request for honest feed back afterwards. The accommodation reflected the limited availability in one or two villages but this was compensated for by superb accommodation in others. The company were quick and efficient in responding to any questions and sorted out several travel issues for us beforehand as we live overseas. The comprehensive maps, folders, and accompanying book and information were great and arrived in plenty of time before we left our home in Tasmania, Australia. We would always use this company where possible for this sort of holiday and can't recommend them highly enough.

Mickledore have planned several walking holidays for us. Everytime the organisation and local knowledge exceeded our expectations. The choice of accomodation, the luggage transfer, the information and maps provided, everything came together like clockwork.

Most recently we walked the West Highland Way from Milngavie to Fort William = Mickledore organised the whole thing beautifully.

We walked the Dales Way in the second half of June and enjoyed every minute of it, despite some rainy days now and then and pretty low temperatures. Our accommodation ranged from good to excellent, the same goes for the food.Luggage transport went without a hitch.

It was the third time we went on a hiking tour in England organized by Mickledore and we haven't had a single complaint sofar. On the contrary,like the Cumbria Way and the South Downs Way before everything on this year's Dales Way hike went like clockwork. And there's still lots to see in this beautiful country...

we walked a part of Hadrian's wall and our luggage was forwarded every day to the next accommodation. our journey was 5 nights in total. every detail was taken care of. marvellous food, great support in transfers from the walking trail to the accommodation as a free service! we enjoyed every minute of it. and the walk was great! beautiful sights, useful information.

very loving attention and care to all the details of the travel. the selection of accommodations was done with care. it felt safe and comfortable.

At the daytime walking in the beautifull hills of the Cotswolds and at night the luxurieus B & B's was good for a most fantastic hollyday!

We booked extremly last minute, but they made it work properly.

My wife and I walked the coast-to-coast trail over a period of three weeks in the month of May 2015. We did this in 17 walking days plus two rest days - one day each in Grasmere and Richmond. Despite some inclement weather in the early part of the trip, the overall experience was terrific. As we think about the walk and relate our experiences to family and friends, we are getting a better perspective on it…a greater appreciation of all the aspects of the walk that have made it a personally satisfying experience – the people we met, the landscapes we saw, the helpful and welcoming hosts at our accommodations, and ultimately the satisfaction of navigating the trail and completing the walk.

Mickledore Travel was excellent from start to finish. They made our accommodations quickly and efficiently. As we read the package of materials, Mickledore staff were available and helpful in answering our questions, which assisted us significantly in our preparations for our self-guided trip. And Mickledore staff were accessible and accommodating when we required assistance partway through the walk when my wife severely strained a ligament in her ankle. Overall, we felt Mickledore was there to support us throughout the trip.

Hadrian Wall walking holiday was amazing. Lovely scenery. We had a great time. We stayed in very nices places with very friendly hosts.

Very professional service. Full documentation (map, book). There is nothing negative to say about the organization. Next year will definitely make another walking holiday !

We had a wonderful adventure thanks to the work of Mickeldore. The arrangements made for us were great-the lodging, meals and transfer of luggage exceeded expectations. The beauty of the walk along Hadrians's wall was out of this world.
