Hadrian's Wall by Boston USA, 30 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Great adventure, but uncooperative weather

We walked along Hadrian’s Wall this past summer. We chose to start in Carlisle and end in Corbridge rather than walk in the eastern marsh area and in Newcastle. The only thing they couldn’t arrange was the weather, which did not cooperate during this very rainy summer. We learned much about the Romans and enjoyed the beautiful countryside. The B & B’s were great. We had never done a “Walking Holiday” before.

We used Mickledore to plan the walking holiday. Mickledore did a GREAT job arranging B & B’s, giving us detailed maps and books, giving us lots of information about where we could find restaurants, food, cash, toilets, taxis, buses, emergency aid, etc. It made us feel very comfortable taking this adventure. We also appreciated the many choices for how far to walk and how many days we wanted.

Northumberland Coast Path by Gibby, 28 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Better than anticipated

Great walking holiday following the Northumberland Coast Path from Cresswell to Berwick Upon Tweed. It is a part of the country I am not familiar with but loved the wide open vistas, extensive beaches, castles and warm friendly people. We also had excellent local food.

Isle of Wight by Blond hiker, 25 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Fantastic coast walk

Walked the coastal path around the Isle of Wight. Stayed in B&B's and hotels along the way, which had been organised by Mickledore. All of the places we stayed were brilliant and some even took our bags up to our rooms.

Hadrian's Wall by Eldi, 23 Aug 2023

A perfect hike along the Hadrian's wall

Mickledore organized a perfect holiday, from the communication with the staff, the itinerary they cleverly suggested to the accomodation they selected. I had a ball, and I am recommending this path with Mickledore to everyone around me, while I am already preparing my next hike with Michledore.

Very friendly and helpful from very first phone call. Everything was taken care of accommodation, luggage transfer, packed lunches and taxi transfers. Excellent standard of accommodation. Guide book was invaluable too. Will definitely be booking again.

Herriot Way by SVK, 22 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Mickelldore's Heriott Way Vacation was a Dream!

This was my first walking tour and I was going solo. Mickeldore was so easy to work with and made me feel totally comfortable with my preparations. Once I arrived, everything was just as explained and as exected, giving me even more confidence for my journey. And then the walk - it was simply glorious. Each day was challenging but not over-taxing. The views were splendid. The accommodations neat, clean, friendly and perfect in every way...

Rating for tour operator:

Dealing with Mickeldore was like working with a friend. As this experience was a totally new venture for me, it was important that my tour operator's communication was clear so I could feel confident that when I arrived, the trip was going to go as planned. They never made me feel silly for asking a gazillion questions and the materials were all helpful throughout. I will used them again, no doubt.

South West Coast Path by JVDS, 21 Aug 2023

Walking along the coast in Cornwall

A very nice part of the coast, with some challenging walking. Fine pubs and B&Bs

St Cuthberts Way by Quaesitor, 16 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Wonderful walking holiday, well planned and organised. Couldn't ask for more

We had a wonderful walking holiday. Everything was very well planned and organised. The distances to cover each day were thought out - with demanding days followed by less demanding days. They had anticipated every need, including a couple of taxi runs when we stayed off the route. All info and backup materials excellent. Couldn't ask for more

Hadrian's Wall Path: a dream come true

I've always dreamt to walk the Hadrian's Wall Path, but it was very difficult to organise it since I live in Italy. Finally, this summer I did it with my wife thanks to Mickledore. The organization was perfect, the hosting places wonderful, the walk itself astonishing. We are completely satisfied.

Unforgettable Hadrian's wall experience

Mickledore was excellent in planning our holiday, accommodation and provided outstanding support before, during and after the holiday. A great care has gone into choosing the BnBs. The guidebook and all the necessary instructions were clear and we never felt lost. We called the support on our first day to confirm some details and it was a great peace of mind knowing that they were just a ring away. I will definitely book again with them. In ...
