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.

Outstanding - Exceptional Customer Service

We walked St Cuftberts Way from Melrose to Lindisfarne. It was both brilliant and beautiful. Mickeldore were exceptional in all respects - the whole experience far out weighed our expectations.

Brilliant Cleveland Way walk

My dog and I walked the 110 mile Cleveland Way National Trail over 9 days. The organisation of accommodation at each stop, baggage transfers and information by Mickledore Travel was perfect and made for an excellent trip.

Arran Coastal walk - stunning scenery- great accommodation

This is our second walking holiday with Mickledore and it won’t be our last. We walked the Arran Coastal Path over 7 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Scenery was stunning and the information book and map sent to us supported our route. Accommodation was high quality and our luggage was transferred daily from location to location.

Wonderful Cumbria Way

6 nights walking the Cumbria Way, from Ulverston to Caldbeck. All accommodation was comfortable and the walking was superb. We had lovely meals out and all the arrangements ran smoothly.

Rating for tour operator:

This is the second holiday I've taken with Mickledore Travel, and both have been excellent. All arrangements went smoothly and the information provided was comprehensive, easy to follow and well thought through. All my questions were swiftly answered and their staff were always polite and helpful. I'll definitely use them again.

Top rate operator

I have just completed a four day walking holiday in Yorkshire with two friends. The organisation and accommodation provided were excellent. Each bed and breakfast was spotlessly clean and comfortable, our luggage was collected and delivered on time, and the route description was detailed and helpful. The whole experience was first class.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path by Rutlander, 27 Jul 2021

A superb coastal walk, supported by a wonderful holiday compnay

Two of us walked the southern half of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Mickledore booked the B&B's (all excellent!), the luggage transfer (faultless service from Walkalongway), taxi transfers and provided maps, guidebook, tide tables, Covid advice, and details of eating places, shops, ATMs and other essentials en route. Our holiday was glorious - helped by good weather and lots of wildlife and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing went wrong, but we ...

Two of us walked the southern half of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Mickledore booked the B&B's (all excellent!), the luggage transfer (faultless service from Walkalongway), taxi transfers and provided maps, guidebook, tide tables, Covid advice, and details of eating places, shops, ATMs and other essentials en route. Our holiday was glorious - helped by good weather and lots of wildlife and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing went wrong, but we had confidence that should something happen, we knew that we could ring Mickledore for help. Walking a long distance path, with others transporting our luggage is the sort of holiday we enjoy; the only caveat is that it does not come cheap!

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore listened to our holiday request, booked promptly, kept us informed, and sent the information (both as paper copy and as phone App) in plenty of time. They were always a pleasure to talk to. Payment was easy and transparent. This is the second holiday we have booked through them and both times have been great - despite dealing with Covid regulations this time, and very short notice last time.

The Dales Way. A well planed walking holiday in a fantastic area of Britain.

Our second fantastic walking holiday with Mickledore, our first being the Coast to Coast in 2019. Everything including accommodation, baggage transfer and packed lunches ran like clockwork. Accommodation was to a high standard, you could not find fault with any. Mickledore took the pain out of planning a walking holiday ourselves. They are always polite, efficient and professional when communicating, either by e/mail or a direct phone call. ...

Accommodation was to a high standard, you could not find fault with any. Mickledore took the pain out of planning a walking holiday ourselves. They are always polite, efficient and professional when communicating, either by e/mail or a direct phone call. A professional operator well on top of their game. If you are wavering regards booking a holiday with Mickledore then don’t book straight away, you won’t be disappointed.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore are polite, friendly and professional when communicating. I particular like the way they are so helpful on the phone. Quick to help and answer any questions, and will go out of their way to ensure you have a fantastic walking holiday. Our holiday pack of guide book and map etc., complimented by a very good app were more than sufficient. We will be sure to use them again..
