It is the 7th time I travel with Mickledore. The service is excellent in every respect. You can ask for changes, they answer questions immediately, they provide all the information needed.

Coast to Coast by Pauline R., 16 Jul 2022

Great Coast to Coast experience

Just completed our sixth Mickledore holiday along the second half of the Coast to Coast trail. Some challenging days walking but there were often easier options available if required. Accomodation was varied given the nature of the route and the remoteness of some stops, but all provided good, clean rooms, hot showers/baths and a cheery welcome. Scenery ranged from farmland to rolling hills to high moorland and, eventually, the coast. Lots of ...

Mickledore organisation was first class from start to finish. Staff are professional, helpful and courteous, and it is obvious that they know their holidays and understand the needs of different walkers. All the holiday arrangements ran smoothly and we would be more than happy to use Mickledore again.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path by Sibs, 16 Jul 2022
Holiday Rating:

Unforgettable Pembrokeshire coast path

We booked 10 days walking the Pembrokeshire coast path with Mickledore and had a fabulous time. It’s a varied walk, there is wildlife (seals, birds, horses), villages, churches/cathedrals and historic sights to admire and enough physical activity for every kind of walker. We managed 5 swims in the sea on stunning beaches (Cold but so refreshing after hours of walking)

Mickledore selected lovely, clean, very friendly B&Bs for us, most close to the beach or coast. All taxi services arrived promptly and it all went perfectly. Absolutely nothing amiss

Mickledore Travel by McHiker, 15 Jul 2022

History comes alive on this grand walk across the English countryside.

Walked Hadrian's Wall Path from Newcastle to Carlisle. Favorable weather for walking, with comfortable daily distances and lodging & meals just right to refresh at day's end. I realized while walking how much my heart and soul enjoy a good pace across long fields and pathways, always looking for the next way-marker. My heart's delight!

Mickledore stayed present and ever-accommodating through Covid cancellations and finally re-booking for 2022. All dealings were attentive, timely and with a quality experience in mind. Lodgings, luggage transfers and maps were more than adequate and worked beautifully. We had a group of 8 for four of nine nights and Mickledore coordinated lodging and provided meal recommendations which we followed with great success.

Walking Made Easy!

A walking holiday along the Pembrokeshire Coast over 8 days staying in multiple locations. Great accommodation with wonderful hosts at the B&Bs . Everything was organised so all we had to do was get our boots on and GO! Luggage transfer was great and lunches provided were wholesome and well presented.

St Cuthbert‘s Way

The route was broken up into easily walked sections. When ending at a village without accommodation the organised taxi service was excellent. All accommodation booked by Mickledore was good. We had a delightfully, memorable holiday.

Life transforming experience

My wife and I are pastors in Washington State in the USA and were awarded a sabbatical for the summer of 2022. We wanted an adventure that was also relaxing and would give us proper space to reflect and pray. We found Mickledore online and, on perusing their walks, decided to combine portions of the Cumbria Way and Hadrian's Wall walks on their advice. The experience was nothing short of amazing!

My wife and I are pastors in Washington State in the USA and were awarded a sabbatical for the summer of 2022. We wanted an adventure that was also relaxing and would give us proper space to reflect and pray. We found Mickledore online and, on perusing their walks, decided to combine portions of the Cumbria Way and Hadrian's Wall walks on their advice. The experience was nothing short of amazing! Mickledore's advice about how to organize the holiday was perfect and surprisingly affordable even for persons with a fairly modest income. The hospitality they arranged along our route blew us away and the sights we saw perfectly achieved our goals for the trip. Before the walk was even half begun we were talking about how we had to do this again and bring our kids once they're older! Will do this again.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore arranged everything perfectly and were so easy and helpful in all communication, both when setting up the holiday and when actually on it. Their advice was particularly spot-on -- they helped us set up a custom walk combining portions of two others for an amazing experience.
