Hadrian's Wall by RSC, 30 May 2025
Holiday Rating:

Who knew that the Romans were so clever?

Walked Hadrian's Wall, taking in all the forts, turrets and milecastles that we could. The most amazing site was Vindolanda, which is not actually on the wall, but a mile or so south. Glad that we gave a day to visit it. We were constantly impressed by the work that the Romans must have done to buld this wall around AD122. Spent nights in a mix of pubs and B&Bs, all geared to provide comfortable accommodartion for the walker.

Mickledore gave first class service, booking transport and accommodation, providing maps and useful information on places to eat shop and so forth. Also helped with a late change when we had to modify our plans.

Settle to Carlisle Way by TopMice, 28 May 2025
Holiday Rating:

Well organised walking holiday

Using Mickledore Travel we booked a walking holiday from Settle to Carlisle. This involved Mickledore booking the accommodation, taxi connections and a company to transport our cases from accommodation to accommodation. Al worked very efficiently and we were able to enjoy the walk. The weather was good and the Holiday Pack provided by Mickledore very good

Rating for tour operator:

We have used Mickledore for more than six walking holidays. The service they provide is excellent and as proved on this holiday above and beyond expectations. When we had been given the the wrong keysafe code for one of the accommodations on a Sunday evening at about 5 pm. A call to Mickledore and it was sorted it in 15 minutes. The Holiday Pack Mickledore provides was spot on as usual, very detailed information that made finding each night's accommodation straightforward and lots of useful local information – eating, taxi, shopping etc. As part of this walking holiday Mickledore could not find accommodation on route and arrranged – and paid for – an excellent taxi service, Peacock Taxis. The service was friendly and we were whisked us to and from the Guest House safely and efficiently. The Mickledore App is very useful when on the move, works very well. Great to be able to access accommodation details easily online. Mickledore just does the job so well and we have already recommended you to friends who have also enjoyed walks organised by them. We would highly recommend Mickledore.

Coast to Coast by Wim, Netherlands, 28 May 2025
Holiday Rating:

Coast to Coast hike with a group of 12 peoplé whereof 8 people just walked half of the path

We had a great journey’ not only due to the great weather. We had a complicated journey in mind, but Mickledore had organized it into perfect detail (again!)

We have Mickledore organise our hiking holidays for many years now. They are very communicative, lots of attention for detail. Very accomodating before, during and after the journey. They use a great app for the trip. They select the best B&B’s.

Westmorland Way by Mart, 27 May 2025
Holiday Rating:

Varied and interesting Lake District trail

A good mix of walking in the Lake District. Some paths very quiet/little used. The busiest section from from Patterdale to Grasmere is shared with Coast to Coast route, but most going in the opposite direction. Baggage transfer worked well.

The Ridgeway National Trail

We walked for days on the Ridgeway from Avebury to Streatley / Goring. Also stopped overnight in Ogbourne St. George and Woolstone along the way.

mickledore was excellent, they are most knowledgeable and made booking a trip like this extremely easy. They were always very quick to respond to all queries via email. The lodgings they booked for us was most appropriate and our luggage was transported from place to place without any issues.

Hadrian's Wall by Sarah, 23 May 2025
Holiday Rating:

Fantastic walk along Hadrian's Wall

We had an absolutely wonderful time walking Hadrian's Wall last week, all prepared by Mickledore. They sent through the maps and guidebooks we needed; reserved the packed lunches and arranged the baggage transfer; and most important, selected and booked the most wonderful guesthouses to stay in. Every place we stayed as unique, welcoming and spotlessly clean. I would love to do it again immediately!

This is my third or fourth walk with Mickledore and I've always been pleased -- in fact, I have stayed again at (and recommended to friends) some of the guesthouses they've found for me on walks. I plan to keep walking with them for many years in the future!

Jersey Coastal Path by Mrs Sandy Feet, 22 May 2025
Holiday Rating:

Walking round the beautiful coast of Jersey

We started walking from the main town and every day walked a planned section onto our next hotel. We only needed to carry day bags as our main luggage was moved on and was waiting at our next hotel. It worked well and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

The whole trip such as hotels, and luggage transfers were arranged by Mickledore. We were given a guide book and map on the route. Also lots of information on shops and restaurants as well as phone numbers in case of problems or emergencies,. The staff were always polite and helpful.
