Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

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.

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.

Easy to deal with. Quick response time and always professional lovely to chat with either on the phone or over email. They showed flexibility with our arrangements and created a holiday suitable for our requirements.

This was a Mickledore Walking Holyday - Handrian's Wall Tour. The tour was 10 days walking and 11 nights accomondations. The luggage was transported from B&B to B&B.

Always had friendly contacts, everything was well organized, never had any problems. Information pack with book and maps were very informative.

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.

Lovely lady chatted to us on the phone during our initial contact. She spend ages working out our start date re tides and accommodation on Lindisfarne. Very swift email exchanges and excellent package of information.

It was wonderful!!! One of the best walks ever- not too busy, diverse scenery, good trails, nice B and B’s. Excellent set up by Mickledore

Always responsive to us , and provided great resources. Also, they were highly spoken of by drivers and B and B owners/managers. This is the second time we’ve used them- hope to use them every time.

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.

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.

This was our second self-guided walking holiday with Mickledore and once again it was superbly organised. We spent 7 days (cut short by 1 day because of the rail strike) walking the Yorkshire Wolds Way through a wonderfully unspoilt landscape. We stayed in a wide variety of well-chosen accommodation. As the Way is surprisingly remote, taxi transfers were efficiently organised to most of the accommodation. Mickledore even arranged another rain free holiday.

Mickledore specialises in self-guided walking holidays and cycling trips in the UK for the independent traveller.

I've always wanted to walk Wainright's coast to coast route but could only afford the time after finishing work so it was great to undertake this walk at long last. It's everything it's cracked up to be and unsurprising that it attracts visitors from across the world. It is quite a challenge and you do have to prepare for it in advance but what might seem quite daunting before you begin quickly starts to feel pretty manageable. I have to say that the weather helped me - not many "C2C" walkers can claim to have covered the whole route and encountered less than an hour's rain and that on the final approach to Robin Hood's Bay! It's provided me with some great memories and an incentive to take on other great walks.

I've undertaken several walking holidays organised by Mickledore before but always no longer than a week but the coast to coast walk was going to be two weeks. Mickledore advised me on the best time to book, organised all my accommodation and the daily transfer of my luggage. The holiday was everything I expected, and all the arrangements worked pretty much exactly as planned thanks to Mickledore's friendly and efficient service. The only reason I had to contact them was to make a contingency plan at quite short notice for getting home in the event of a rail strike and they even managed to do this for me. I will definitely look to use them whem planning my next walking holiday.

Our third walk organised by Mickledore was postponed by two years due to the pandemic, but finally in May we were able to go! All communication and preparation prior to travelling was yet again excellent from Mickledore. As we were travelling in from Norway, we were adviced to seek help to book train tickets in advance and we were sent a link to a dedicated e-mail address with Gates Travel who were a tremendous help with the train jouneys! Everything worked smoothly :) When travelling with Mickledore, we are never concerned about the standard of where we are to stay. They always pick B&Bs, inns and small hotels with immaculate standard. We throughly enjoyed our walk from St Ives to Penzance - the weather was mainly kind to us, except for one VERY wet afternoon. The trail was the hardest route we have walked with Mickledore, but the coastal scenery in Cornwall was outstanding!

There is no other word to describe Mickledore than EXCELLENT in all manners and forms, before, during and after our holiday :)

Isle of Wight coast path is an easy walking holiday. Its the most relaxed long distance walk I've done with time for sightseeing. All the accommodation was excellent and great weather too.

Mickledore are excellent. Everything is well organised. The luggage transfer worked really well. All the accommodation was of a high standard. They provide all the information you need, including route maps, instructions, places to eat, shops etc. They are very knowledgeable about all their walking holidays
