Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

Eight days covering 103 miles of countryside walking from Saltaire to Appleby. The accommodation, luggage transfer and route guide was provided by Mickledore Travel

We have used Mickledore Travel several times now and all aspects of the service work well. All contact with MIckledore comes over as personal and caring.

This past June, we walked approximately 65 miles in Northumberland from Cresswell to Berwick-on-Tweed along the newly named English Coastal Path. We enjoyed the variety of our coastal accommodations along the North Sea, as well as learned more about the history of England through the many castles on this walk. We recommend taking the time to tour Bamburgh Castle, a living history spanning 1500 years!

This is our fifth walking holiday in England since 2017…. all with Mickeldore! Traveling from the United States, Mickeldore gave us the confidence to plan these holidays, knowing that they would “have our backs” if we needed assistance. Happily, all our trips went smoothly!

Self guided 6 night walking trip along the river Thames from Marlow to Richmond-upon-Thames. The Mickledore booking process was very easy. We enjoyed staying in all of the hotels on the route, our luggage was successfully transferred every day and Mickledore pre-booked taxis along the route worked efficiently. All of the rooms were well appointed (received a free upgrade in one hotel) and all provided hearty breakfasts to start our days walking. Most of the hotels were centrally located with lots of restaurants nearby. The country house hotel was a little further out but still with easy access to town if you wanted it. As with our previous Mickledore holidays along the earlier sections of the Thames Path the route was very well sign-posted and followed the river with only a few detours. This section of the Thames Path was less rural but with a number of interesting villages and sights along the way eg. Runnymede and WIndsor/Eton. We would also recommend this trip through Mickledore as we have for the earlier two stages we have completed.

There was extensive information on the Mickledore website about the trip. The booking process was very easy. Once confirmed the holiday pack arrived quickly by post. It contained detailed information about all of the places we would be staying, local information about places to eat/emergency contact info etc as well as a detailed guide book and map. The guide book was excellent and included detailed maps for each section of the route. All of the hotels were ready for us when we arrived and our luggage was transferred for us seamlessly between them. We’re already thinking about our next trip with Mickledore.

Coast to Coast walk from St Bees to Shap was everything we could have asked for - beautiful scenery, challenging terrain and really well organised with excellent accommodation along the route.

We could not fault Mickledore for their booking experience, choice of accommodation, provision of route guidance and the sensitive way in which they handled our holiday when we had to return suddenly following a family bereavement. Excellent and would definitely recommend and use them again ourselves.

A week walking with all accommodation and luggage transfers arranged by Mickledore. Excellent daily directions and mapping. A first rate experience from start to finish.

Our third booking with Mickledore. As always, very flexible to meet our needs. All contact was excellent and very efficient. The accommodation was all very good. All parts of the holiday including luggage transfers worked like clockwork. Will definately be booking again.

I walked the Dales High Way organised by Mickledore. The accommodation booked was high quality and the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable.

Mickledore provided a well organised holiday, with clear communications from booking to finishing the trip. I’ve used them three times now and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

We just returned from doing the Cleveland Way and are so appreciative of all that Mickledore did to make this a fabulous walking trip! From the prompt emails to the excellent accommodations to the helpful advice - this is a wonderful company, and one we'll book with again!

Very professional and helpful, as well as knowledgeable about the trail we were doing. As a result, our trip went smoothly because of their good advice and set-up.

We booked the 7 day Speyside Way (including both spurs) through Mickledore and it was a great time. Much of the walk follows the old railbed of the Speyside Way so it is fairly easy. As always the accommodations were exceptional.

Mickeldore does an amazing job of picking high-quality accommodations. The planning tools they provide are very helpful. Most importantly they are very quick to respond to any inquiries.

I was on pilgrimage to St Andrew’s.

I have done 5 holidays with them and all were great.

I have been thinking about the C2C walk for many years and Mickledore made it a reality. This is a walk across Northern England following Wainwright' famous route. The options provided were very useful and allowed me to break the journey half-way.

The organisation, information provided and choice of stays was excellent. I did not encounter any issues or problems with the arrangements. I will certainly book again with Mickledore and would recommend them to anyone interested in this type of holiday.
