Holiday Rating:

The best walking holiday yet

My wife and I have just enjoyed a week walking the Northumberland Coast Path where all the route planning and accommodation were excellent

The holiday was found and booked for us at short notice with the minimum of fuss. We received a quantity of verbal and written advice which meant the whole holiday went without a hitch

We are pleased that we were able to organise this short notice holiday for you and that you had such a good time. I hope you will be back in touch when you are ready for another walk.

Great Glen Way by Beanie, 12 Jul 2017
Holiday Rating:

A wow round every corner!

We had a superb time walking the Great Glen Waywith Mickledore. Everything was organised for us so all we had to do was walk! Each b&b was lovely and we were well looked after and fed at each one. The walk itself had something for everyone with the usual, the low and the high routes. The views were simply stunning and the area round Loch Ness is certainly atmospheric it's hard to choose the best point - there certainly wasn't any bad points! ...

Hadrian's Wall by Fudge, 10 Jul 2017
Holiday Rating:

A wonderful experience

We walked the 'Coast to Coast' Hadrian's Wall over 9 days and loved every minute. Mickledore had made very careful arrangements to find us the best accommodation for our holiday. Our luggage was always collected efficiently and was always there on our arrival at the next guest house. It was a seemless holiday from the arrangements for parking our car to collection at the end of the journey. Mickledore kept us informed of any minor changes ...

We walked the 'Coast to Coast' Hadrian's Wall over 9 days and loved every minute. Mickledore had made very careful arrangements to find us the best accommodation for our holiday. Our luggage was always collected efficiently and was always there on our arrival at the next guest house. It was a seemless holiday from the arrangements for parking our car to collection at the end of the journey. Mickledore kept us informed of any minor changes and provided clear information about any diversions they were aware of. In particular the maps, guidebooks and detailed information about our hosts, how to get there and where we could eat in the evening was clear and straight forward. The personalised booklet with all information for us was especially valuable and detailed.

Communications via email or telephone were prompt, efficient and friendly

Cumbria Way by Kito999, 6 Jul 2017
Holiday Rating:

Blissful blister free me time

A well organised a perfect 3 day trek based on the Cumbria Way. 5 out of 5 for the choice of B&B accommodation. The Sherpa service to transfer luggage was well organised, and the route notes for the daily walks well selected. I was walking solo, so reassuring to know someone new where I should be, and there if I needed some support.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore's organising and breadth of experience in organising walking holidays has always provided a first class holiday for us. Pre -planning, information, accommodation, luggage transportation is all expertly carried out. The only thing you have to think about is the walking. We always get back and start looking at where we'll go with them next time.

South Downs Way

My wife and I walked the South Downs Way from Amberley to Eastbourne, about 60 miles, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The views all along the Downs were magnificent, but the section over the Seven Sisters is exceptionally stunning. Highly recommended.

My wife and I used Mickledore Travel of Keswick to book our walking holiday, we have now used them three times, and as usual their arrangements were perfect. We would advise anyone planning a walking, or cycling, holiday to look no further than the Mickledore website.

Thank you so much for your generous review, we are happy to have been of help for your third holiday and we look forward to organising the next adventure soon
