Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

A group of 10 of us from the US booked the South Downs Way walk. We are seasoned travelers from around the country with age range of 55-72. From planning to the final day of the walk everything went perfectly. The responses and communications from Michledore were always prompt and thorough. Once we arrived everything went as planned: B&Bs were very nice, maps and directions kept us from ever going off coarse. We have all had extensive travel experience from guided tours to self directed trips and this trip was a top 10 for all if us!!

We were self guided once we arrived but Michledore did all the planning and communicating to set up the trip They were available to us for any issues during the trip but we never needed anything.

5 days self guided walking in the beautiful Lake District, using pre-marked OS maps and good instructions provided by Mickledore Travel. All 5 hotels & Bed & Breakfasts had been pre-booked (and chosen) by Mickledore, and our accommodation was all en-suite and extremely comfortable, with packed lunches provided each day. We left our car at our first hotel, & Mickledore provided a pre-booked taxi to take us to collect it on the final day. The routes were well marked, and we found the gradients and length of walks to be what we expect for a ‘moderate’ 3 Boot walk. What we didn’t anticipate was to be walking through such spectacular scenery, it really was a wonderful holiday.

Very friendly and efficient, updated our route when a bridge was closed unexpectedly, and made sure a hard copy was delivered to us at our hotel. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, and have already sent the company link to several friends.

We are keen photographers but with weak knees, and so we needed an itinerary that allowed us to see the best views but without being too much of a challenge. Mickledore gave us good advice and came up with a plan that fully met our requirements. We had a very enjoyable week, met some nice people, and enjoyed some great pub meals. The weather was perfect and we have taken some fantastic pictures.

Good advice, thoughtful planning, efficient documents and mobile app. Everything went well and the holiday fully met our expectations.

Enjoyable hiking on the Cleveland Way

Friendly and helpful

Very pleasant walk with sufficient variation in trail and landscape, although you are in fact continuously folllowing the same river. Nice side trips can be made as suggested and ther is an abundant presence of whisky distilleries.

Accommodation and luggage transport well arranged; high level quality standard for both functionality and experience atmosphere. Clear and timely communication and helpful and complete information package.

Walking St Oswald's Way in Northumberland was a delightful experience. The route encompases a mixture of historic Holy Island, the unspoilt Northumberland coast with its beautiful beaches and harbours and later the quiet rolling hills finishing along Hadrians Wall. Very good accomodation B & Bs, guest houses and pubs and fortunately good weather enhanced the whole experience.

Have used Mickledore for 5 walking holidays and they are my prime choice due to their excellent service, comprehensiveness of the walking pack supplied and quality of accomodation.

I walked the Yorkshire Wolds Way over 8 days thoroughly enjoying every minute of the holiday. Mickledore made all the arrangements, their organisation of the accommodation was excellent and each place I stayed was of a very high standard. The hosts generally went above and beyond to ensure I had an excellent stay in their establishment and any transport required was provided as planned. The luggage transfers Mickledore arranged went very smoothly and the taxi transfers they arranged were efficient and flexible when I wanted to change my pick up times. The Yorkshire Wolds Way is a quiet National Trail but other walkers I met along the way were friendly and we sometimes walked together sharing the magic of the trail.

I can not fault the service provided by Mickledore before I set off on my holiday, they are helpful and informative making you feel a valued customer. The trail guide, maps, my individual programme and the local information they provided were all excellent, I used everything provided during my time away. Their follow-up service is really good and they respond to any feedback you provide. Their mobile App is really helpful as well. I recommend Mickledore to everyone I know who loves walking and also to other people I meet while walking a trail. I will definitely be using their services again for future walking holidays.

Walked from Milngavie to Fort William along the West Highland Way, scenery was amazing, and whilst it is a long way, the support and advice we received from Mickledore meant we didn't need to worry about a thing. All accommodation was great, with a welcome cup of tea and cake provided at some hotels. We are now looking at where our next walk may take use.

Excellent advice received by phone and the information pack was really useful, containing everything we needed.

6 family members celebrated retirement by walking a portion of Hadrians Wall in England.

Mickledore handled all of our travel arrangements without any issues. First class follow up and execution.

After all the planning I cannot believe our incredible week walking Hadrian’s Wall is now over. We 16 Canadians, I being the only one that had any idea what we were going to face, thankfully we trained hard and handled everything each day threw at us, I was so proud of them all. What truly made this walking vacation such a success was Mickledore from our initial booking, the amazing accommodations and their prompt response to any query we knew with confidence they had our backs. Thank you Mickledore, we will be walking with you again. Gillian. Ontario. Canada 🇨🇦
