Rob Roy Way by LS, 7 Sep 2019

Wonderful walking holiday in Scotland

Self guided walking trip through lovely countryside with a variety of landscapes and historical areas for 7 days. The maps provided had a phone download which was very handy.

Mickledore provided luggage transport, booking and maps and guides. We also had some taxi sections to allow for accommodations on the route, and these were already set up by Mickledore and we had no problems or delays, luggage arrived promptly as well. The accommodations were all lovely, would highly recommend their booking. Excellent communication with Mickledore during whole process. Also really appreciated the app for organizing paperwork.

Fabulous!

We loved every minute of the walk we chose (Rob Roy Way). The whole experience was great (scenery, B&B hosts, even the weather was good). I can't wait for our next one.

Dales Way Aug/Sep 19

My friend Tom and myself walked the Dales Way and it was a most enjoyable experience , helped by the excellent accommodation and efficient baggage transfer provided by the Company.. At all the places we stayed, the breakfasts and packed lunches provided were both of good quality and a fair choice.

Mickledore Door Travel , an organisation that we have used twice and on both occasions provided an excellent service.

Well organised

The attention to detail is amazing from Mickledore from the first contact right through to the care as you do the walk. The accommodation is of a high standard and the information of the walk, with such things as nearest cafes, cash points and toilets. We have done a couple of walks and will definitely use them again

Hadrians Walk

Perfectly arranged accommodations by Mickledore. Absolutely no hiccups with transporting luggage, finding accommodations, lunch packs, travel info, route description etc. In short: everything where Mickledore was responsible this was arranged very well. The hotels and B&B's varied in quality, most of them were very good or even memorable (in a positive sense). We did the walk (a National Trail) from East to West in 6 days. The first day and ...

Perfectly arranged accommodations by Mickledore. Absolutely no hiccups with transporting luggage, finding accommodations, lunch packs, travel info, route description etc. In short: everything where Mickledore was responsible this was arranged very well. The hotels and B&B's varied in quality, most of them were very good or even memorable (in a positive sense). We did the walk (a National Trail) from East to West in 6 days. The first day and second day were 'so so'; on day on there was lots of litter in the trail (the locals seem not very proud of their unique trail); day 2 required a lot of (near) road walking. We didn't see too much from the wall. Day 3 and 4 were fantastic; just like the brochures tell you. Day 5 and (more so) day 6 were really nice walks in a nice area but less Hadrians wall. We know Mickledore offers just the middle section; it was our own choice do do the whole thing; we really enjoyed it. We would do it in the same direction again; that way the last part is nicer that the other way around.

Rating for tour operator:

This is our second Mickledore holiday and we couldn't be more pleased at how the holiday was arranged. We will definitely be back for more in 2020.

Mickledore did an amazing job planning our trip! It was easy to communicate with them despite being in the United States and having an eight hour time difference. Mickledore eliminated the stress of planning and provided us with an affordable and wonderful walking tour. Can't wait to book with them again!

I felt that Mickledore was a valued customer of all the places we stayed

We walked the Hadrian' s wall path after many years of walking the SW Coast Path under our own steam but wanted to try an organised tour holiday with our baggage transferred and B&B's booked for us. Organising the trip was easy, we just provided the dates we wanted and the rest day, and they organised the rest. It was perfect. Our cases were always there when we arrived and the B&B's were great and couldn't have been more helpful. The rooms ...

We walked the Hadrian' s wall path after many years of walking the SW Coast Path under our own steam but wanted to try an organised tour holiday with our baggage transferred and B&B's booked for us. Organising the trip was easy, we just provided the dates we wanted and the rest day, and they organised the rest. It was perfect. Our cases were always there when we arrived and the B&B's were great and couldn't have been more helpful. The rooms were at least good and often great with separate sitting rooms and friendly helpful owners. The overwhelming feeling was that Mickledore was a good company that they all enjoyed working with and we got the benefit.of it.

Rating for tour operator:

I picked Mickledore purely from their website as they specialised in the holiday we were looking for and made the booking process really easy.

Terrific

We did the short hike, as we had a toddler with us—could not be more pleased; had a blast! Accommodations and hosts were warm and welcoming, food was incredible and everything worked like clockwork!

We were provided with all materials well in advance, and all questions answered quickly and with a generous depth of information to make informed decisions. We felt very well-prepared for our adventure.
