Lady Annes Way by Lil John M, 7 Jul 2021
Holiday Rating:

Great walk, excellent accommodation, well detailed walk documentation and supporting information.

A 100-mile walk over 9 days following Lady Anne’s Way from Skipton to Penrith through amazing countryside including river valleys and moorland fells.

Rating for tour operator:

The attention to detail provided by Mickledore was excellent and included full OS mapping at 1:25000 scale. Couldn’t fault it. They also dealt extremely well with the complications resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to move my holiday from 2020 to 2021.

Walking the Cotswold Way

100 miles of Cotswold scenery over 6 days. No worries about accommodation or luggage transfer as Mickledore arranged everything. Makes a walking holiday so much easier and more pleasurable

Dales Way by Witters, 7 Jul 2021
Holiday Rating:

Fantastic walking in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales

We were recommended Mickledore by a family friend and I am so glad we trusted them as it was brilliantly organised from start to finish. They were so helpful and professional, especially during these difficult days of Covid when things can change from one day to the next.

I'm truly impressed with Mickledore. They are so friendly and efficient throughout and the attention to detail is a joy. They really listen to what you want/need. Everything worked like a dream, which is exactly what is needed on a holiday like this. I already have 2 more holidays will Mickledore booked for 2022 with many more to come I hope.

The organisation from Mickledore was absolutely spot on and allowed us to enjoy our walking holiday, the accommodation was excellent and also the transportation of luggage. Communication was clear and information received was excellent

Lady Annes Way by Roger, 28 Jun 2021
Holiday Rating:

Another enjoyable and memorable walking holiday

Finally managed to walk Lady Anne's Way after 3 previous cancellations (due to prior injury and COVID restrictions). Was well worth it in the end. Interesting, varied route through beautiful countyside, much of which is little visited. All arrangements and accomodation to the usual very high standard. Weather was on the damp side but at least the waterfalls were at their best!

This was my 6th walking holiday through Mickledore and have never been dissappointed. Communications and information supplied in the advance pack are always to the highest standard. Accomodation is varied and always in the range good to excellent. My preferred walking tour operator if they offer the route I want.

A challenge, an adventure and such a worthwhile experience........

We walked the full length of Hadrian’s wall in 8 days. Mickledore planned and booked interesting and high quality accommodation (mostly B&Bs and pubs) along the route so we had a destination to aim for each day. We particularly enjoyed visiting historic sights along the way and the views from the wall were incredible at its highest points. We met many other friendly walkers along the way and enjoyed welcome pints and delicious meals in some ...

We particularly enjoyed visiting historic sights along the way and the views from the wall were incredible at its highest points. We met many other friendly walkers along the way and enjoyed welcome pints and delicious meals in some of the quaint old breweries at the end of a days walk. An exhilarating experience. We would highly recommend this holiday.

Efficient, organised and kept us in the picture despite COVID regulations. Mickledore arranged for our bags to be transferred each day to the next accommodation and this was seamless.

Wonderful walking Islr of Wight

Walked the coastal path. Two Misty days meant we didn’t see the Needles which was very disappointing. Otherwise a wonderful experience. Most of the Guest houses were lovely but one of them did not provide juice, cereals, yogurts or fruit for breakfast, only the cooked meal. Disappointing. Paula is Cowes was the best….she went out of her way and left lots of little treats like fruit and biscuits…plus olives and crisps when we had gin and tonics ...

Rating for tour operator:

It’s very annoying that we went with a friend and rather than communicate with both of us all correspondence was through our friend and we were told we would have to pay extra for our own pack etc. As we were saving Mickledore a lot of time and trouble booking three of us at the same time this was irritating.

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 29 Jun 2021:

Thanks for your feedback. We do need to co-ordinate bookings through a lead party member. The FAQ page on our website provides information about holiday packs and while additional maps and guidebooks can be purchased the detailed itinerary and other key information are provided electronically for all party members to enjoy.
