Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

A family group of cousins decided to hike the Great Glen Way from fort William to Inverness. We are in our 60’s and 70’s so a premium was placed on comfortable lodging and “slack packing” with our luggage taken from place to place. We choose Mickledore to arrange the holiday. The trail is so well marked and so spectacular, particularly between FortAugustus and Inverness, and our trip information was comprehensive bath before and during the trip. Since we were a large group of 9, I was impressed with the ability of Mickledore to accommodate us along the way in the same lodging or in nearby B&Bs. All transfers were well planned and the taxi companies accommodating. The prehike information allowed me to easily prebook dinners as well, which was useful. We were all thoroughly delighted with the hike, even with some snow, rain and sun. For those doing the Great Glen, the surface is hard for a lot of the trail - plan accordingly with footwear. Coming down from the high section walks along the Loch Ness are very steep - poles are a must if you have any knee issues, and are a good idea for everyone else. Breaking up the last day of 20 miles is also a great idea ( 2 10 mile segments). We were extremely please with Mickledore! Thanks to them for the expert planning which added so much to this wonderful family holiday!

Mickledore was terrific. Very organised and met the needs of our larger than normal family group of older hikers. Great accommodations and excellent support with luggage transfers etc. I will use them again.

In difficult weather conditions, our party of four began our walking holiday with wonderful support from Mickledore travel. There Was constant contact with the company guiding us and checking all was safe for our daily journeys. We did have to adapt our original holiday plans and were supported throughout by Mickledore.

Fully supportive of all our needs as clients

This was my second time booking with Mickledore and the maps and guidebooks were great for learning where to go and about the places along the way. I truly trust Mickledore when booking my walking holidays with details and devotion to assisting along the way. I plan to walk the Speyside Way next and will definately be contacting your organization.

Mickledore took care of all the details to allow me to enjoy my holiday. I trust this company to ensure that I can enjoy my hiking experiences in Scotland.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Hadrian's Wall walking experience. The views were amazing, so much space and fresh air. An amazing opportunity to stop off at Vindolanda and explore and experience history. Each evening we came off the track to a different B&B and our bgas were there so we didn't have to carry more than a day pack. We had great maps and directions so the path was easy to follow if not always easy walking!

We were supplied with great maps and directions and the pick up and delivery of our bags from each stoppoff point worked perfectly. The B&Bs we stayed in were all very good and quite different.

My husband & I had a lovely 15 day walk across England on the Coast to Coast route. Lodging, bag transport, and lunches were expertly arranged by Mickledore Travel. After a "full English" breakfast provided by our lovely B&B hosts, we set out across England. We traversing three stunning National Parks (Lake District, Yorkshire Dale and the North York Moors). The diversity of the scenery and villages was wonderful. We have done many long walks and the Coast to Coast is one of our favorites.

Mickledore Travel expertly arranged our lodging, bag transport, and lunches on the Coast to Coast walk in England. Their pre-trip package contained everything we need to know before and during our adventure. The quality of the B&B and inns booked were outstanding! Each one unique, friendly, clean, convenient and thoroughly enjoyable at the end of a long day of walking. On our flight to England one bag was misplaced by the airlines. Mickledore handled the logistics with the airlines and made sure our bag was delivered en route to us.

Mickledore organised our Hadrian's Wall walk for us in early October. This included details such as a list of all cash points on the route to booking lovely B & B's and transporting our luggage. We had nothing to do except enjoy ourselves; which we did! One of us has a severe gluten allergy but all the B & B's were informed in advance, which really helped us enjoy our holiday. We will definitely book with Mickledore again.

Mickledore Walking Holidays were friendly, helpful and efficient

My wife and I spent 9 days walking from Milngavie to Ft. William, Scotland. It was challenging but very rewarding. The scenery and little villages along the way were delightful and we met people from all around the world doing the same walk. We are already planning our next walking adventure.

This was our second walking tour with Mickledore and once again they set everything up perfectly. My wife and I are in our late 60's and love having our luggage transported from B & B to B & B so we can walk with just a day pack. We know we can count on Mickledore to set up all the accommodations and provide excellent maps and guide books.

Our Coast to Coast hiking holiday, completed Sept. 28, 2017, was an adventure of a lifetime! We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our vacation. The scenery was spectacular, the accommodations fabulous, the weather was nearly perfect, the beer and meals delicious, and every detail was perfectly prearranged through Mickledore. We would highly recommend this hike to anyone and certainly strongly encourage those thinking of tackling this hike to work with Mickledore to take care of all of the details so you can simply concentrate on enjoying the trail each day.

We recently completed our second Coast to Coast adventure utilizing Mickledore to make all the arrangements for luggage transport, lodging and pack lunches for our entire holiday. Every detail of our 17 days trekking across England was meticulously arranged for through Mickledore. We found the B&B’s to be convenient, first-class establishments, hosted by friendly, caring owners who catered to our every need. We will certainly be returning to complete other hikes in England and will most assuredly be working with Mickledore to make sure our holiday is as successful as this one was.

Self guided walk of Great Glen Way.6 Days in September.

Mickledoor Travel - Excellent service.

Myself and a friend walked Hadrian's Wall in September 2017 over a period of 7 days walking. The experience was amazing; the weather was kind to us and the views, the history, the people we met and the hospitality of the B&B's throughout our trip was all fantastic. It was literally the trip of a lifetime.

Myself and a friend booked a walking trip of Hadrian's Wall through Mickledore and from start to finish the experience of using this company was superb. Their communications were efficient and timely, the guidebooks, maps and additional information supplied for the trip was exceptional and the price was extremely reasonable. We heard from both other walkers and from B&B owners that Mickledore are a great company to deal with and that the level of service they provide is one of the best, if not the best. We would certainly agree with that and would have no hesitation in recommending them and using them again ourselves.
