Lovely walk along Hadrian's Wall

Excellent walk from Corbridge to Bowness on Solway along the course of Hadrian's Wall with pre-booked accommodation and luggage transport each day. Ideal weather for walking plus a tailwind making the experience even better with some great views as the icing on the cake

The booking process was very straightforward and staff very helpful. An extremely well planned and organized tour was supplemented by comprehensive documentation and very useful local information

Great Glen Way by GB-Cumb, 30 Sep 2020

Everything Organised

Very pleased with Mickledore's Great Glen Way holiday. All the B&Bs were very good and some were exceptional, taxi pick ups all on time too.

Rating for tour operator:

We were kept informed as to what was happening in the run up to the holiday and even received a phone call while we were away to update us on the changing situation in Scotland re Covid19 restrictions. Very impressed with Mickledore's professionalism and will doubtless use them again.

As expected

Good accomodation throughout. The route and guide book needs a bit of tweaking. Sent around the houses to lengthen the route at times. Covid spoilt the evening meal experience at times but that was expected. Poor weather at times but it is the English pennines!

Cleveland Way by Long distance strider, 25 Sep 2020

Great time on Mickledore's Cleveland Way trail

I booked with a company for the first time, usually fix everything myself. Mickledore arranged all my accommodation and provided detailed written info and tips about everything relevant on the trail. In mostly-beautiful weather, I could concentrate on the walking, knowing that overnight bookings were taken care of. I also like that you don't pay a fixed amount which includes having your luggage transported; it's an optional extra. That suited ...

I booked with a company for the first time, usually fix everything myself. Mickledore arranged all my accommodation and provided detailed written info and tips about everything relevant on the trail. In mostly-beautiful weather, I could concentrate on the walking, knowing that overnight bookings were taken care of. I also like that you don't pay a fixed amount which includes having your luggage transported; it's an optional extra. That suited me well -- I prefer to tote my own stuff.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore worked promptly to create the schedule with limited notice. Their choices were very good. When a minor issue arose about who would provide a taxi to take me back to the trail, I emailed Mickledore out of office hours and the company sorted the matter double-quick.

Exactly what I was hoping our holiday would be!

We walked the Great Glen way in Scotland with support from Mickledore Travel.

We walked the Great Glen way in Scotland with support from Mickledore Travel. This long distance trail is 79 miles, which we walked in 7 days and it was the first time that I had attempted anything as taxing as this! The Great Glen trail is a very well marked and maintained track which crosses a variety of terrain, including low lying canal paths, Caledonian temperate rain forest and gorgeous views of Ben Nevis and Loch Ness from some of the higher elevations along the walk. On most days we walked for 11-13 miles with ascents of up to 450 metres in parts. The views were absolutely stunning!

Rating for tour operator:

We were delighted with the service we received from Mickledore Travel. They arranged all our accommodation; taxis to and from the trail where necessary and organised to transport our bags from one hotel/B&B to another. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation that Mickledore arranged for us. We tend to find staying in the UK to be a very hit and miss experience in terms of good service and decent accommodation, but all of the properties on our tour were of a good standard, some were positively delightful! The hosts were universally warm, helpful and gave us scrumptious breakfasts and huge lunches! Bag transport worked perfectly and the whole trip went like clockwork! We were particularly impressed with the material that Mickledore provided to support us during our holiday - a map, detailed trail guide, discount for Cotswold Outdoors and list of cafes and restaurants to book for our evening meals - it was far more than we were expecting!

Dales Way by Tony C, 10 Sep 2020
Holiday Rating:

Great walking holiday

We walked the Dales Way from Ilkley to Bowness on Windemere over seven days. This was all arranged through Mickledore who booked all our overnight accommodation, provided luggage transit between accommodation sites and ensured we had packed lunches provided each day. Nothing let us down so we could concentrate on the walking and taking in the sites.

We have now used Mickledore on two occasions for our walking holidays. On both occasions every thing was meticulously and went to plan. Even the accommodation sites we stayed at were very positive about Mickledore.

Wholesome

It was great for our family to have some special time together. It wasn't too difficult and we all felt at ease with how organised everything was.
