Isle of Wight Coastal Path

Eight days, seven walking and one rest day in Shanklin. Good weather, beautiful island and friendly people. Julia Margaret Cameron house was a pleasant surprise

Dingle Way by Human, 13 Jun 2024

Great walking

We would recommend walking the Dingle Way. Good way marking, great views and a warm welcome. Easy to get to the start from Kerry airport.

I have used Mickledore many times and will continue to do so. They are always reliable, thorough, well planned and easy to communicate with..

I have done many walks with Mickledore (West Highland Way, Great Glen Way, SW Coastal Path, Coast to Coast, Cotswolds Round, Thames Path) and I plan to do many more (Northumberland Coast next on the list). All have been seamlessly organised with a high standard of accommodation, reliable luggage transfer and useful trail information. The staff are responsive and knowledgeable. I recommend them without hesitation. They are my walking company ...

Mickledore gave our complex booking (which involved an older party and quite a lot of vacillation!) a lot of patient attention and gave excellent advice. The route was good, with great views and lots of help from the maps supplied. A highlight however was the accommodation which was much appreciated at the end of a long day. All the hotels and guest houses had comfortable, high quality and sometimes very stylishly designed accommodation with friendly staff who literally couldn't have done more to help, and the food available on site and for packed lunches was absolutely excellent. The taxi transfers where we had them were done by cheerful, charming and timely locals who really added to the experience! We had to book in one extra independent traveller at the last minute and they were also helpful with advice for this which made it possible for her to add herself to the party and travel alongside us.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore are based in Keswick and seem to have excellent relationships with all their suppliers. The suppliers are evidently keen to impress them and feel they need to keep up high standards. The whole booking system is very efficient with great online payment facilities and excellent access to the guides and booking details online.

Great Glen Way by PR20, 6 Jun 2024
Holiday Rating:

Great Glen Way, Scotland- a peaceful and enjoyable walk.

Walked the Great Glen Way in May 24. It's a lovely peaceful route along canal tow paths, beside lochs and through lots of pine forest, with a few beautiful moorland stretches too. Everything went to plan, signposting is very good (even on diversions) and we were really lucky that we had no rain whilst walking and no midges! A few steep uphill pulls but overall fairly gentle gradients. A really enjoyable walk.

Our 6th holiday with Mickledore. We were due to travel last year but had to cancel due to illness. However Mickledore were really helpful in rearranging our trip. Staff are easy to contact via phone or email. Organisation and information for trip was first class, and accomodation (a mix of small hotels and b&bs) was all attractive, clean, and mindful of walkers requirements. Couldn't fault anything.
