Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

We completed a four night walking trip completing 3 stages of the Kerry Way in the south west of Ireland. The accommodation booked was of a very good standard and reflected local knowledge of the options available in sometimes quite remote settings in Kerry. The information pack provided was very comprehensive, not only in terms of provision of a specific and up to date guidebook but also the ordinance survey maps required to safely complete the walk, but also up to date local information on travel to and from the walk start and finish, local attractions, places to eat, local health requirements and general suggestions to help enhance the holiday.

The website is very informative with comprehensive holiday descriptions. This is an activity focused tour operator and they are very good at what they do. Written and email communication is clear and comprehensive. Telephone communication is excellent too. We have recommended this provider to our friends and family.

My holiday walking the Northumberland Coastal Path was perfectly organised and all went very well. From accommodation to documentation, all was really high quality. The walk and holiday itself - blessed by very fine weather - was beautiful, with scenic views and fine routes.

Very nice, friendly and efficient. Quick to reply to questions and also many helpful additional resources.

This being the fifth Mickledore holiday I have had, I knew the experience would be good. The accommodation in Painswick, an historic village, was a delight, as was dinner in the old coaching Inn. The Way is well marked, and though the weather was not brilliant every day, it was compensated for by the superb views and delightful people we met en route. One very wet afternoon, we capitulated and took a taxi to our destination, as we decided we were out for fun, not an army recruitment operation. I organised dinner at all our stops before we left, which was a good idea, as some places we chose were very busy. I highly recommend this walk, and if you can, have an extra day in Bath before returning home. There is so much to see, and sitting on a stone seat in the Baths, used by Romans 2000 years ago, was a sobering experience. We are merely travellers on this earth!

I have recommended Mickledore after all my walking holidays with them. They are courteous, efficient, understanding (even when I missed a payment after their email went into my Junk box.) It is good to know they are there to help in an emergency, and their information on taxis, eating places, shops etc. are excellent. As is the guide book with the Way well drawn and explained. I have seen the information from other firms doing the same walk, and they are not as efficient.

Walked the Cotswolds way, staying in B and B’s and having luggage transported. 102 miles in 8 walking days.

Mickledore is very responsive - both before and during the trip. This is the third trip we have done with them, and we have been completely pleased each time!

Great 7-day walking holiday following the Westmorland Way including the beautiful scenery of the Lake District. Well-organised by tour operator with a mix of nice B&Bs, pubs and hotels.

This was the fourth time I've travelled with Mickeldore Travel. They always arrange nice accommodation in good locations. They are easy to deal with and friendly. Mickledore Travel staff seem to put your enjoyment of your holiday at the top of their priorities. I highly recommend them.

My husband and I walked along the SWCP from Minehead to Appledore and truly enjoyed the experience. We spent 8 nights and walked 7 days along the Atlantic coast and the Bristol Channel coast. We saw beautiful beaches, bays, wooded areas, vast expanses of green fields, and of course sheeps along the way. We stayed at nice lodgings, some that were above our expectations, we were able to enjoy very nice meals in the small towns we walked through. A great vacation overall, even if our knees might disagree with this assessment.

Everything that Mickledore did was excellent: the booking of lodging, the luggage & taxi transfers (always on time), the detailed itinerary, the provided packet (maps, book, list of restaurants, etc). Everyone at Mickledore always responded quickly to our enquiries before our trip and during the trip. I have looked at many websites of agencies providing self-guided walking tours, and I have yet been able to find one agency that provides the quality and quantity of details that Mickledore provides. This was our 2nd trip with Mickledore and we are looking at the 3rd one..Mickledore is an excellent operator with top-notch services from everyone I contacted. We both highly recommend Mickledore when planning a self-guided walking tour.

My friends and I have walked with Mickledore on a previous occasion, on the Coast to Coast in England. Having enjoyed that so much, we then booked the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way in Scotland for our next walking adventure. It was everything we could have wished for, supported by the wonderful organisation and expertise that Mickledore offered.

Mickledore offer a wide range of walks in the UK to suit all abilities and tastes. The pre-departure support is fantastic, with excellent, prompt communication and the provision of a very comprehensive holiday package providing all the information you could possibly need, along with great guide books, maps and walking notes. The accomodation they select and book is always of a high standard with lovely hosts, and luggage transfer is seamless.

This was a longer walk than our intro to long distance walking along the Dalesway the year before. From the high moors to the northern river valley along the Settle to Carlisle way. We thoroughly enjoyed this walk of two halves. Good accommodation, food and weather certainly helped! We're now looking to book our third trip, trouble is, there's tooooo much choice!!! :)

This is our second walking holiday with mickledore and once again we received great service from start to finish. Contact varied from phone call, e-mail and face to face with mickledore, prompt replies each time. All went without a hitch.

My friend and I walked the coastal path on the Isle of Wight. Mickledore organised all our B&Bs and the transportation of our large luggage

Mickledore are very professional and knowledgeable about all their routes. They vet all the accommodation they use and are always a call away to answer any queries. The information provided is very extensive

Perfect organisation, a wonderful team, very very nice hotels/Bed & Breakfast with friendly hosts. Every day we got a lovingly pepared Lunchpackage at our option. Bacfk since 5 days and we are looking for our next holidays with Mickledore

So friendly - and everything was well prepared
