Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

a long held dream finally realised walking Hadrians wall that was challenging and fun meeting lots of interesting people

Very helpful, professional and well planned

2nd leg of the Pembrokeshire coast path. Walked Amroth to Milford Haven April 2017 with Mickledore and have just come back from walking Milford Haven to St David's in 4 days in glorious weather (apart from Day 1 when yes it rained for a couple of hours!)

Always goes the 'extra mile' to endure that not only is the accommodation booked, the packed lunches arranged, and the luggage transfers sorted but also that you have a complete booklet of where you are staying each night, contact details for each B & B and also how to reach it from the coast path (if too far away they include taxi transfer to and from). You are also provided with, in our case, a Pembrokeshire Coast Path published walking book eg Cicerone, and plastic covered maps, tide tables, and a complete booklet of where to eat lunchtime (if not having packed lunches) and evening, taxi contact numbers, who to ring if things go wrong, PO, ATM details, public loos en route, chemists, etc and each B & B owner knows who to expect and if they have not arrived by 6.00pm they will contact Mickledore if walkers have not rung in to say they will be late. Very reassuring. They are also flexible. I also waked the Coast to Coast with friends over 2 years (2106/17) - we added one friend only days before setting off to walk the first half of the Coast to Coast for instance. In 2017 another friend joined us just for the last 5 days (she had walked the rest with another company in 2016 but had to stop due to a sudden family bereavement). She preferred our walking company and they were happy to add her to our itinerary. I am also dairy free, so all B & B owners were warned of this for breakfasts/packed lunches.

Everything went to plan : the weather (amazing), the landscape (varied, full of English charm) and the organization of the holiday by Mickledore.

Great accommodations perfectly located, all of them right on the walk or less than 10 minutes away, with welcoming hosts, perfect timing of the only taxi transfer I had on this walk with a nice and accommodating taxi driver. The walk was cleverly divided in stages long enough to enjoy the walk and short enough to enjoy everything else too. Every question I had has been answered to very quickly and with consideration. It was my 5th walk with Mickledore and definitely not my last. There is great comfort for a solo walker to walk with them.

We walked the St Cuthbert's Way from Melrose to Lindisfarne (Holy Island). Our B&Bs chosen by Mickledore were great, and our luggages awaited us upon each arrival. We could relax without any stress and just enjoy the magnificent sceneries we were walking in.

I had heard about Mickledore through my sister who walked The Hadrien wall in England and appreciated the comfort of Mickledore's organisation. They are very helpful, we exchanged some e-mails before the holidays, we received very good support (map, book, B&Bs information as well as useful information on each place we stayed, i.e. restaurants).

In May 2018 I walked the coastal stretch of the Cleveland Way from Saltburn to Filey. Mickledore Walking Holidays booked the accommodation and arranged the transfer of my suitcase so that I was free to simply walk from one location to the other. What I loved the most was being able to set my own pace and stop and observe the little things along the path. I saw a young weasel, a deer, pheasants, slow worms, seabirds galore, wild garlic, bluebells, broom, unfurling bracken fronds and so much more. No decisions to make - except what I wanted for breakfast and where to eat on an evening - and no compromises. Five days away felt like I had had a fortnight's holiday. I would encourage other women out there who want to do something like this but are anxious about doing it alone to just go for it. The hosts are expecting you so there was always the reassurance that if I hadn't turned up and hadn't phoned, someone would be looking out for me.

Mickledore Walking Holidays

Coast 2 Coast walking holiday, from Saint Bees. 12 days walking (13 nights accommodation) to Robin Hoods Bay.

Mickledore Travel were recommended to me so I had few expectations. I also knew next to nothing about the coast2coast route or a walking holiday. The folk at MT have been excellent, helping me choose and get setup for a walking event that incorporates 13 different overnight stays and transport. Everything went off like clockwork. MT also provided excellent documents, a handy book with all the details for my travels, maps and a C2C book. They also.have a great app for the phone which I used everyday. Lastly, any question I asked via the phone or email were very promptly answered. Can't fault MT in any way, would definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.

From the point in time that we first considered booking a walking holiday to then of our journey, Mickledore were brilliant in turning our ideas into reality. They dealt with everything like pros and took all the legwork (pardon the pun) out of planning and preparing our holiday.

Mickledore- experts in providing information and booking a comprehensive tour and stay for us and our dog.

West highland way over 8 days. Met lovely people including a couple that live near us. Meals at hotels were very good.

Very professional,.

Very good, we loved the places we stayed and the walk was very nice. We will go back to England for an other walk.

Everything was goed arranged. If we go back it is with Mickeldore again, it was fine we could book the holiday in our language wat makes its easier to understand.

It was a great walking holiday the people at Mickledore went over and above with their selections of our accommodation Even when accommodation were booked away from the trail the found us transportation to and from the trail

Always friendly and always helpful
