The South Downs Way

A comprehensive list of Banks and Cash-points together with a list of Shops, Post Offices, Tourist Information Centres, Cafes and possible lunch stops. Should you need a Hospitals, GP surgery or Pharmacy, they are listed too alongside the location of Public Toilets and all local Taxi Companies in the areas you will be walking. All ...

Should you need a Hospitals, GP surgery or Pharmacy, they are listed too alongside the location of Public Toilets and all local Taxi Companies in the areas you will be walking. All this information is available via an app so you don't have to carry volumes of paper around with you. They really have taken all the worry out of the planning and as for the views on the SDW - Stunning!

We used Mickledore for the entire 100 mile walk, but wanted to tailor it to our own needs. They were brilliant in meeting our requirements and went to great lengths organising the holiday and making changes as and when required. COVID stopped us finishing the walk in 2019 but we were offered a refund or allowed them to hold our deposit till we could complete the walk. Successfully completed this September 2021. We are now considering another holiday with them. You feel in safe hands with Mickledore.

Mickledore organised every aspect of our holiday so we had nothing to worry about. Everything ran like clockwork and the accommodation on each night was of a high standard; all different types of accommodation which added to our holiday experience.

Amazing experience

We walked the Hadrian's Wall Path trail organised by Mickledore and it was excellent. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We loved the bonhomie with our fellow walkers, the scenery, the honesty places and arriving at our accommodation for that warm welcome , cold drink and warm shower.

Rating for tour operator:

The organisation was superb, everything ran like clock work. We booked with relative short notice but this was no problem to Mickledore. The accommodation was good and well situated for the path. The couple of occasions that it wasn't, we used the taxi service recommended by the company. This again was reliable. All interaction was helpful and professional. We met fellow walkers who were also walking with Mickledore and all had the same experience.

Rating for tour operator:

Very efficient service. Initial inquiry received a quick response. All the accommodation was booked and information with full details of the walk and available services along the way was very helpful and thorough. Everything worked smoothly including taxi transfers to accommodation that was some distance from the walking route.

Hadrian's Wall in 6 days

Walked west to east in mid-August, as a single traveller. Having Mickledore do all the logistics meant I could focus on enjoying the walk. The quality of the accomodation was excellent. The luggage transport was easy and efficient. The joining details were fully comprehensive.

Correspondence was easy and they are very responsive. All the details were clear and accurate; I was able to simply enjoy the walk and didn't need to worry about anything else.

Cotswold Way by Hikingfit, 22 Aug 2021

Walking the Cotswold Way

Four of us (aged 60 - 70) walked the Cotswold Way in 6 days. It was quite challenging at times, with plenty of hills and long days, but the paths were good underfoot and the weather just about perfect for walking. The views were spectacular. Each night we stayed in a different B&B which were, with one exception, of a high standard. Those in the heart of the Cotswold villages were particularly interesting. A fantastic week for all.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore was superb. We were sent detailed, comprehensive information prior to our trip, including guide book and map. The B&Bs selected were varied and interesting, mostly of a high standard. Our bags were collected and sent on to our next venue most efficiently. A taxi was provided to take us to one location off the day's route. Overall, we were very impressed with Mickledore and we plan to use them again next year.

Great to find all the plans exceeded expectation

Walking from St Davids to St Dogmaels- Every B & B booked for us was exceptional and the plans/lengths of walks all really appropriate. All the transfers of luggage and ourselves all worked well- We could just enjoy the walking and the holiday- Would use again and thoroughly recommend

Mickledore were helpful and informative from first planning to booking and pre travel info. They listened to what we needed and given all the covid problems were prompt and responsive. We should have been away with KE their sister company but again as things have needed to be cancelled moved they too have been excellent

Hadrian’s wall walking holiday

Great organisation of hotels just off the wall and lovely friendly places and great recommendations for places to eat and park. Directions from the company to the hotels were very good and they organised movement of bags too! Overall a great holiday.
