St Cuthberts Way by NAH62, 19 May 2022

St Cuthbert’s Way made easy

This was our first organised walking holiday. Mickledore booked the rooms, arranged packed lunches where possible and arranged for our baggage to be at the next stop. It all worked smoothly. The choice of places to stay overnight was good. I will certainly use Mickledore again.

A well organised adventure

14 days walking the 192 miles from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay ( Coast to Coast), although quite challenging, the logistics of it were made so much easier by booking with Mickledore.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore were really understanding as this holiday was booked before covid, we were always given options of amending or cancelling throughout that time. Once the holiday went ahead, the information sent out, and the organisation of accommodation and luggage transfers were second to none, we would not hesitate to use them again.

Wonderful Scottish Highland walk

We had a beautiful 100 mile walk through the Scottish Highlands. As usual, Mickledore handled all the details perfectly. The accommodations were lovely, and the luggage was transferred without any problems. This was our fourth walking holiday with Mickledore, and we have more planned.

Challenging walking with everything taken care of by holiday company

4 day walking holiday on the SW Coastal Path from St Ives to Penzance. Accommodation, luggage transport arranged by Mickledore, the Walking Holiday specialists. Had a rest day when I got to Penzance and visited St Michael's Mount

Rating for tour operator:

Everything was arranged by the tour operator, from accommodation to a comprehensive array of information concerning where to eat, draw money, get provisions, chemists etc etc. Also a detailed itinerary and map included in the cost of the holiday. Special commendation as Mickledore carried forward my booking originally made for spring 2020, first to 2021 and then 2022 when Covid conditions finally made it possible.

Fantastic Hadrian’s Wall adventure

Walked Hadrian’s Wall as 5 friends celebrating our 50th birthdays on a 6 days walking and 7 nights accommodation package.

Rating for tour operator:

Booked Mickledore’s 6 days and 7 nights package and could not have asked for better service. The accommodation they chose was excellent, the bag haulier moved our cases between the properties and the packed lunches made life so much easier. The company provided a pack containing all the maps we needed, an itinerary, a list of useful stops along the way and discount vouchers. When one of our group realised that recent surgery might inhibit their ability to walk the full distance each day, Mickledore provided advice about using sticks, local bus routes and taxi numbers. It was simply a fantastic week.

Walking the Great Glen Way with Mickledore

Beautiful hike along the Fife Coast in Scotland

Just finished a fabulous 4-day walk along the Fife Coast in Scotland arranged by Mickledore. The daily walks were so beautiful, balancing gorgeous coastline with Scottish villages. Our lodgings each night were excellent--smartly equipped, clean, and the innkeepers were so warm and welcoming.

Rating for tour operator:

I had originally planned this trip in 2019, but it's been postponed twice due to Covid. Throughout the last three years, as I tried to reschedule my trip, Mickledore has been patient and thorough in their communications. Their pre-trip packet was wonderfully detailed, the lodgings during our trip were excellent (and the innkeepers were a joy to meet!), and the walk itself was full of beautiful scenery. An experience I would highly recommend.

Dales Way Walking Holiday

We walked from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere, a distance of 81 miles, in 6 days. Mickledore Travel organised the whole trip, including the accommodation and luggage transfers each day.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable on the telephone when booking. Their pre-departure holiday pack is incredibly informative and includes a map, book and suggested places to eat. During the holiday, we had a couple of issues (not Mickledore's fault) and Mickledore resolved them promptly and with professionalism. The accommodation they book is of a very high standard and the luggage transfer went smoothly.
