Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

Walking the WHW was a great experience. With beautiful scenery, friendly people from around the world, excellent accommodation and food along the route, who needs to go abroad for a memorable holiday?

Mickledore are first class. The only thing they can't fix is the weather and even that was better than it might have been.

Hiking the West Highland Way was the experience of a lifetime. It is challenging, but absolutely worth it. The scenery is spectacular and the towns along the way were truly enjoyable. We're looking forward to new and exciting trails throughout Scotland.

Mickledore did a great job organizing our hike. The instructions were clear and everything was as-advertised. When we had questions, the team at Mickledore responded very promptly. We appreciated the great service.

The Cleveland Way offers the walker the best of 2 worlds.....peaceful days in the countryside and atop the moors to bustling seaside coastal paths. Travelling from Canada we are truely amazed by the ease of travel outside the bigger cities. To get to our starting point we flew to Manchester......a train right at the airport to York.....and a bus 1 block away to Helmsley .....and a one block walk to our guesthouse. Very smooth and the locals were very helpful. We stopped for just a moment in York to check our map and a busy businessman stopped to offer assstnace. All of our accommodations were wonderful. Hundreds use this trail every year and the hosts we stayed with understood that we may be wet and muddy......and wet boots were always returned dry and ready for the next day. The path travels thru peaceful and quiet landscapes ......the moors are amazing. Then you get to the coast and the scenery changes to busy villages and many day hikers.....all interesting to talk to. Great variety on this hike......nice blend of England.

Mickeldore has never let us down. Their website is wonderful......great information about the walk and helpful in deciding what is the right option for you. Booking online also easy to do. We phoned the company to pay the deposit and then the final payment ....you can avoid the credit card charges by doing this....thanks for that option. The other option we appreciate is the booking of prepaid packed lunches......and they were all wonderful. The staff has always been quick in replying to our e-mails and when on the phone have been very helpful and friendly. We had one question while on the walk and an e-mail back and forth answered our concerns.....and within hours. Thanks. Our packages arrived very quickly after final payment.....the maps and book were the best. Our accommodations were super.....a real mix of hotel, guesthouse and B&B. Sometimes we thought they were closer ones .....always wondering why we kept walking.....but after the stay in these marvellous places we were glad for the extra steps. Never disappointed. Highly recommend using our favourite operator.

If you're into long distance walking, then this is for you. Varied terrain from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay. From the Lake District, through the Yorkshire Dales over to the North York Moors, this is a great experience and very satisfying, especially when you finish!

Mickledore Holidays can't be recommended enough. They bent over backwards to make sure that I could stay in the same accommodation as my walking pals, even though I booked after them. They kept me informed of any changes and provided a good information pack.

This is our third walking holiday with Mickledore. previously we walked Hadrian's Wall (2015) and The South Downs path (2016) This year We walked the Northumberland Coastal Path staying, as before, at accommodation organised by Mickledore. It was a great holiday. Fantastic and varied scenery, good walking and supported well by the travel company especially when we managed to lock ourselves out of one of the B and B's! I'd highly recommend the walk to anyone new to a walking holiday and the Mickledore to all walkers

As mentioned above, Mickledore is a friendly and professional company offering personal advice and support throughout the holiday from booking to evaluation post-return. The walks are tested out by a member of the company and the accommodation is generally of good quality. Where expectations are not met Mickledore follows up on comments from clients. The couriers transporting luggage are courteous and efficient

The first two weeks of september 2017 we walked the Pembrokeshire Coast Path with Mickledore Walking Holidays. The path is wonderful with astonishing views of the Wales coast line and always changing colours of the sky and sea. It was nice to meet other walkers from all over the world who were having the same experience. The path was sometimes demanding with some steep ascents and descents but never too long difficult. The weather was mostly good apart form one rainday. We enjoyed staying in some nice vilages and towns along the way.

Mickledore arranged our B&B's and luggagge transport. B&B's were all very good and the hosts very friendly and helpful. Luggage transport went smoothly. Mickledore gave excellent information and were always prompt to answers your emails.

We walked from Skipton to Penrith over 9 days in the footsteps of Lady Anne Clifford. It was arranged through Mickledore and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Each of our overnight stays organised by Mickledore was good providing a very good breakfast which set us up for that day's walk. We had some great weather at the beginning, providing the opportunity of some excellent views of Wharfedale and Wensleydale, during the middle of the walk there was more mist and lower clouds - on Wild Boar Fell - but things improved as we approached the Lakedistrict

We picked Mickledore's Lady Anne's Way because we had done 2 previous walks with them. There organisation and management of was excellent. The B&B's chosen by Mickledore were very good; the directions provided to them were exceptional. The paperwork provided at the beginning of the walk covered every, and I mean every, eventuality and need for the walk from coffee shops along the way to a range of eating places for the evening. Prior to the walk Mickledore's team were always friendly and helpful no matter how trivial the question may be.

All of the arrangements made by Mickledore for our hike along the West Highland Way were excellent. The selected lodgings and accommodations were perfect and the luggage transfer service worked flawlessly. Also, all of the lodges and inns correctly recorded our request for a packed trail lunch each day. The entire trip was hassle-free and well-organized.

Mickledore was prompt, responsive and helpful every step of the way in arranging our trip. I truly felt as if they had our best interest at heart through each portion of the planning and booking process.

We just returned from a Cotswold Way Walk organized by Mickledore Travel as a self tour. We had an excellent time hiking the entire 103 miles of trail from Chipping Campden to Bath. We chose the 9 day tour which averaged 10-15 miles a day. Mickeldore booked us into B&B's and Inns along the trail. The accommodations were first-rate and we had no problems at all with any of the accommodation, or the transfer of our luggage. Most accommodations were right off the trail, or only a short distance away. Every day was a fantastic journey, ending with luggage in the room, a hot shower, and a comfy bed.

This self guided walk, organized by Mickeldore Travel was excellent. The information we received such as maps, trail guides, services, and accommodations were well organized and extremely useful. They left nothing to chance. No complaints at all regarding any of the B&B's or inns. We enjoyed each one and its uniqueness to the community. I would definitely book another tour with Mickeldore. Thank you, Mickeldore for organizing a great walk (thanks for the great weather you provided also!). We could not have planned a more complete walking vacation without your wonderful service.

What a great experience. This is my first experience of a self-guided walking holiday with luggage transfer. What a revelation. No struggling over hills with a heavy backpack. Clean dry clothes every night.Bliss! I liked that Mickledore offered a variety of itineraries for the West Highland Way, from long days down to the more leisurely 9 days walking variant. The accommodation arranged was all comfortable and welcoming. The West Highland Way is a beautiful trail, with some challenging parts, but is achievable by most people with moderate fitness if you pick the correct itinerery.

Brilliant support. Simple booking process even though I booked quite late. Really comprehensive information pack including - a map - a guidebook - a list of restaurants and services near the trail - detailed information about how to find your accommodation each night.
