Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

Walked Hadrian’s Wall as 5 friends celebrating our 50th birthdays on a 6 days walking and 7 nights accommodation package.

Booked Mickledore’s 6 days and 7 nights package and could not have asked for better service. The accommodation they chose was excellent, the bag haulier moved our cases between the properties and the packed lunches made life so much easier. The company provided a pack containing all the maps we needed, an itinerary, a list of useful stops along the way and discount vouchers. When one of our group realised that recent surgery might inhibit their ability to walk the full distance each day, Mickledore provided advice about using sticks, local bus routes and taxi numbers. It was simply a fantastic week.

This was a self-guided walking tour along the Great Glen Way in Scotland, as a group of 3 couples. We were impressed with the standard of guest house accommodation, with well-appointed rooms, welcoming hosts and great breakfasts. The taxi transfers, arranged by Mickledore on a couple of days, were prompt and worked well. The information packs were comprehensive and helpful in providing information on restaurants for evening meals. The luggage transfer service worked seamlessly, and was very useful.

The tour operator provided excellent accommodation, comprehensive information packs, and reliable transfers.

Just finished a fabulous 4-day walk along the Fife Coast in Scotland arranged by Mickledore. The daily walks were so beautiful, balancing gorgeous coastline with Scottish villages. Our lodgings each night were excellent--smartly equipped, clean, and the innkeepers were so warm and welcoming.

I had originally planned this trip in 2019, but it's been postponed twice due to Covid. Throughout the last three years, as I tried to reschedule my trip, Mickledore has been patient and thorough in their communications. Their pre-trip packet was wonderfully detailed, the lodgings during our trip were excellent (and the innkeepers were a joy to meet!), and the walk itself was full of beautiful scenery. An experience I would highly recommend.

A twelve day holiday walking the Cleveland Way.

Clearly a very experienced well organised operation with a good eye for the detail.

We walked from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere, a distance of 81 miles, in 6 days. Mickledore Travel organised the whole trip, including the accommodation and luggage transfers each day.

Mickledore are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable on the telephone when booking. Their pre-departure holiday pack is incredibly informative and includes a map, book and suggested places to eat. During the holiday, we had a couple of issues (not Mickledore's fault) and Mickledore resolved them promptly and with professionalism. The accommodation they book is of a very high standard and the luggage transfer went smoothly.

Walked the SDW from Winchester to Eastbourne in seven days. Very fine walking weather, superb lodgings and great assistance and support by the hosts. Very well sign-posted, mildly challenging terrain and stunning vistas and views.

Mickeldore was very supportive and helpful - at one point, a pre-arranged lodging needed had to cancel, and Mickeldore emailed me with the substitute lodging and things were smooth as silk. They are my preferred tour operator for walking holidays in the UK, and I have recommended them to friends contemplating a walking holiday.

Just back from a walking holiday organised by Mickledore along the last section of the Thames Path. As ever, Mickledore organised a great holiday. The walking notes were excellent and included places to eat and useful service lists that you might need along the way. The B&Bs were excellent and included this time a hotel just 60 seconds from the Royal Opera House. We loved it. We have one more section of the Thames left to do and then we will have completed the 180 miles.

We love Mickledore. We have had many walking holidays with them and all have been so well managed and have taken us to some new and exciting places as well as exploring places that are more familiar. Their website and booking process are so easy and whenever we have needed to chat to them they have always been there - cheerful, helpful and responsive. This year we are doing three walking holidays with them - that is a measure of our total belief in them and their holiday offerings. I would not risk an alternative walking company.

Walking the Fife Coastal path. Golden, sandy beaches. Fantastic seafood restaurants. Interesting historical sights. Challenging Chain Walk.

Well informed, detailed itinerary. Great information regarding accommodation, route and restaurants.

Myself, two brothers and a brother-in-law (all around the 60 mark) were walking Hadrian's Wall in memory of our late father who had always wanted to do it but never did. We had a great time with every type of weather imaginable (sun, rain, mist, snow, sleet and hail....but no thunder or lightning!) thrown at us every day. Fabulous experience with great scenery and lots of historical sites to visit (which we did). Would recommend Roman Army Museum and Vindolanda if you only wanted to do two of the many sites (we also did Housesteads, Chesters and Birdoswald). We stayed in 6 different B&Bs over 7 nights along the way (we had a rest day on what would have been our Dad's 86th birthday to explore Vindolanda) and averaged about 10-12 miles a day which was easily managed. B&Bs were all good and we ate out at some other places too for the evening meal.

Mickledore were great. Everything was very well organised and taxi and luggage transfers were seamless. Our accommodation ranged from 6/10 to 9/10 (most being 7 or 8 out of 10) but the food (breakfast, packed lunches and evening meals were all great as was the hospitality of our hosts). We had to change our holiday date (due to the pandemic) by almost a year and also the number of participants changed - Mickledore handled everything expertly and basically did everything for us. Would have been much harder attempting it ourselves. Finally, the amount of detailed information (itinerary, maps, guide books, where to eat/stay, what to do, how to travel etc) was first class and could not be faulted. Thanks Mickledore for making it such a successful holiday.
