West Highland Way by DJW, 18 Sep 2018
Holiday Rating:

Amazing slick with great customer service.

We walked the Highland Way. A great walk with scenery that takes your breath away. We had no worries about tired feet at the end of the day as we knew that Mickledore had great accommodation with luggage delivered to the room awaiting!

Lady Annes Way by Jood, 18 Sep 2018

Walking Lady Anne's Way

My fifth walk with Mickledore. This was an 8 day, 100 mile walk from Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales across country to Penrith, Cumbria. All arrangements were taken care of by Mickledore, from accommodation to guide book, maps and comprehensive details of all kinds of facilities along the route. Everything went smoothly. If it hadn't, I feel confident that Mickledore would have come to my rescue!

Mickledore offer a wide range of walks across England, Scotland and Wales with a choice of how many days you want to take. I've found them to be efficient, thorough and quick to respond.

Hadrian's Wall by Joyful, 18 Sep 2018
Holiday Rating:

Wonderful and eye opening

Because Mickledore took such excellent care of me my only concern was to enjoy myself. I couldnt get lost as the maps, supportive text and information were so well laid out. Each day i saw nature in all its glory and mans addition to it. Hadrians wall is something everyone should do especially with a company such as Mickledore as they make you feel so secure and looked after.

South Downs Way by Beersy, 16 Sep 2018

Walking the South Downs Way

To celebrate my retirement I booked a walking holiday. I live in Eastbourne and it had always been my intention to walk the whole of the South Downs Way starting in Winchester and finishing in Eastbourne. I wanted to walk at a fairly leisurely rate to enable me to take in the scenery and wildlife as well as visiting a few historic churches. Therefore I opted for the 9 days walking option.

Rating for tour operator:

From my initial e mail communication to the end of the walk everything worked like clockwork. They organised the accommodation, baggage transfer, packed lunches and transfer to the accommodation if it was a significant way off the trail. The accommodation was excellent and it was interesting how many of my hosts spoke very highly of Mickledore. In all cases they had sent someone from the company to view the property. A change of accommodation was required for one night and this was communicated to me straight away and a new itinerary was printed out. The maps and information booklets were first rate. I particularly liked their app which I downloaded to my phone. It meant I had all the details of my holiday including my itinerary at my fingertips.

Wonderful coastal walk, much to see on the way, lovely coastal villages and country pubs- and easily self-navigable.

Respond promptly to emails when booking, move luggage safely and reliably, find great accomodation along the route and provide more than enough instruction, maps and book to find your way .

This was our second walk with Mickledore and they did a great job again. Luggage transport was efficient, maps, etc. were clear. B&Bs were varied and ranged from decent to excellent.
