Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

Eight days rambling across the North York Moors National Park and down the coast to Whitby, staying at pubs and hotels along the route with baggage transfer

Mickledore Walking Holidays took care of all the logistics and accommodation, planning and organising the route and the pace to suit our personal needs and abilities - brilliant service, from our first enquiry to the last baggage pick-up.

This past May I experienced both walks. The Dales Way won my heart because of the stunning beauty of the Yorkshire Dales. My friend and I had unseasonably warm and dry weather. The walking was not too strenuous. All the accommodations made by Mickledore were spot on—-clean, comfortable, welcoming. The Fife Coastal Path was fun but the walking wasn’t my favorite. At the first of the walk there was a lot of asphalt walking. Also, having to cross golf courses was stressful. Non of that was the responsibility of Mickledore. Their part of the walk, accommodations , again, were spot on. The lodgings were excellent and the proprietors of the lodgings were so gracious and helpful.

Mickledore is extremely thorough in the information they provide for the walks

I walked this trail over two years and used Mickledore both times. The organisation was first class., with good accommodation and timings.

Mickledore’s itineries were first class and very accommodating

Three friends and myself completed The Cotswold Way in May 2025. We had perfect weather, not one drop of English rain. The trial was in wonderful shape, signage perfect and most of all the local citizens along the way welcomed us at each step. A lifetime of memories created in 8 perfect days in England

Three friends and myself completed The Cotswold Way in May 2025. We used the company Mickledore based in the UK. They were fabulous We loved the accommodations that they booked for us and had the perfect experience with baggage transfer that was successfully waiting for us at each stop. The two Sarah's who work at Mickledore were wonderful, friendly and professional. A 10 out of 10 experience.

Walked Hadrian's Wall, taking in all the forts, turrets and milecastles that we could. The most amazing site was Vindolanda, which is not actually on the wall, but a mile or so south. Glad that we gave a day to visit it. We were constantly impressed by the work that the Romans must have done to buld this wall around AD122. Spent nights in a mix of pubs and B&Bs, all geared to provide comfortable accommodartion for the walker.

Mickledore gave first class service, booking transport and accommodation, providing maps and useful information on places to eat shop and so forth. Also helped with a late change when we had to modify our plans.

Mickledore Travel took care of all details of our walk of the Great Glen Way. The accommodations and walking resources were first rate. All of our needs met or exceeded our expectations.

Mickledore Travel is the best tour operator we have used. The communications and customer service were outstanding. The staff responded to all inquiries promptly. This is a customer-focused company that excels at providing personal and professional service.

Using Mickledore Travel we booked a walking holiday from Settle to Carlisle. This involved Mickledore booking the accommodation, taxi connections and a company to transport our cases from accommodation to accommodation. Al worked very efficiently and we were able to enjoy the walk. The weather was good and the Holiday Pack provided by Mickledore very good

We have used Mickledore for more than six walking holidays. The service they provide is excellent and as proved on this holiday above and beyond expectations. When we had been given the the wrong keysafe code for one of the accommodations on a Sunday evening at about 5 pm. A call to Mickledore and it was sorted it in 15 minutes. The Holiday Pack Mickledore provides was spot on as usual, very detailed information that made finding each night's accommodation straightforward and lots of useful local information – eating, taxi, shopping etc. As part of this walking holiday Mickledore could not find accommodation on route and arrranged – and paid for – an excellent taxi service, Peacock Taxis. The service was friendly and we were whisked us to and from the Guest House safely and efficiently. The Mickledore App is very useful when on the move, works very well. Great to be able to access accommodation details easily online. Mickledore just does the job so well and we have already recommended you to friends who have also enjoyed walks organised by them. We would highly recommend Mickledore.

We had a great journey’ not only due to the great weather. We had a complicated journey in mind, but Mickledore had organized it into perfect detail (again!)

We have Mickledore organise our hiking holidays for many years now. They are very communicative, lots of attention for detail. Very accomodating before, during and after the journey. They use a great app for the trip. They select the best B&B’s.

A good mix of walking in the Lake District. Some paths very quiet/little used. The busiest section from from Patterdale to Grasmere is shared with Coast to Coast route, but most going in the opposite direction. Baggage transfer worked well.

Professional and comprehensive info provided.

We walked for days on the Ridgeway from Avebury to Streatley / Goring. Also stopped overnight in Ogbourne St. George and Woolstone along the way.

mickledore was excellent, they are most knowledgeable and made booking a trip like this extremely easy. They were always very quick to respond to all queries via email. The lodgings they booked for us was most appropriate and our luggage was transported from place to place without any issues.
