St Cuthberts Way by Humbleton, 2 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

No worries

St Cuthbert s way with luggage transport was perfect! Great stays in Kirk Yetholm, Wooler and Lindisfarne itself. All organised for me complete with guidebook and maps.

Excellent trip to the Scottish Borders and Northumberland

It was a 7 day walking holiday from Melrose in Scotland to Holy Island in Northumberland. Beautiful landscopes and panorama’s. Very good accomodations and nice restaurants on the way. We were very pleased with our room with a view in our hotel on Holy Island.

Coast to Coast by Bucharoos, 18 Jul 2023

Cracking Coast to Coast Walking Holiday!

We had a cracking time on our UK Coast to Coast walking holiday thanks to Mickledore's Team! We did Wainright's 192miles/309km walk over 17 days, which included 2 rest days (Kirkby Stephen and Richmond). Starting at St Bees on the West coast walking across England to Robin Hood's Bay on the North coast. The terrain offered so much variation from the massive mountain climbs and absolutely stunning views in the Lake District, to the rolling hills ...

We had a cracking time on our UK Coast to Coast walking holiday thanks to Mickledore's Team! We did Wainright's 192miles/309km walk over 17 days, which included 2 rest days (Kirkby Stephen and Richmond). Starting at St Bees on the West coast walking across England to Robin Hood's Bay on the North coast. The terrain offered so much variation from the massive mountain climbs and absolutely stunning views in the Lake District, to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales and the vastness of the North York Moors. It was a tough walk in the first 6 days across the Lake District, and some days were very long throughout the walk, but it is absolutely worth the challenge!! We met some fabulous like minded people along the way and had a lot of laughs over a drink at the end of each day. The two things that made our walking holiday such a success were the weather, we walked in early June 2023 before the summer got too hot, and the excellent planning by our walk provider "Mickledore Walking Holidays".

Rating for tour operator:

The Mickledore team provided excellent communication before and during our walk. Everyone we had contact with while trying to arrange the best option and dates for our Coast to Coast walk was extremely helpful. The team also worked very hard to accommodate some itinerary changes we wanted to make to get the best out of our rest days. Overall, the accommodation along the walk was really good. The bag transfers were also well managed; we had only one query about a late bag delivery along the walk, which the Mickledore team addressed very quickly. This was our second UK walk with Mickledore and we were extremely happy with the service and the walk information pack provided, we especially like that they are a UK based service provider. We would definitely use Mickledore Walking Holidays again!

Hadrian's Wall by Lea & Glenn, 17 Jul 2023
Holiday Rating:

Absolutely amazing experience

We completed Hadrian’s Wall. We started our journey in Tynemouth and finished in Bowness on Solway. We walked along fabulous paths through paddocks. Climbed many styles. Everyone on the path was super friendly. The guest homes cafes and pubs to honesty boxes were fantastic.

Amazing. We enjoy our parkrun on Saturdays and Mickeldore worked our itinerary around this even organising extra stays when arriving a few days early so we could explore. We had a late change in one of our accommodations due to one of the guest houses unable to accommodate due to illness. The Mickledore team contacted us immediately and we were sorted. Correspondence was fantastic especially as we were coming from Australia.

St Cuthberts Way by LoneCB, 14 Jul 2023
Holiday Rating:

A hassle-free holiday experience leaving me free to relax

I took a week-long walking holiday along the St Cuthbert's Way, through the Scottish Border starting at Melrose and finishing at Holy Island off the Northumberland coast. The sense of peace and seclusion was welcome after a year of working 6-day weeks in hectic environments - with the bonus of decent B&B's or hotels at the end of each day's walk.

The holiday was arranged by Mickledore. The booking process is incredibly straightforward, the Mickledore website is clear and transparent and communications excellent. Everything you need is arranged and provided and you are confident that if you need any assistance they will do their best for you.

Cotswold Way by Nick, 13 Jul 2023
Holiday Rating:

Strenuous but rewarding Cotwold Way walk

We were blessed with fair weather for all but one day of the Cotswold Way., and the places we stayed were comfortable, welcoming, and well located. Breakfasts were all ample, and the need to find our own packed lunches some of the time, as well as most dinners, was not a problem. A special mention is deserved for the food at The Old Fleece in Stroud, and if you haven't tried Thatcher's Gold Cider on draugtht, do! The walk itself is often ...

A special mention is deserved for the food at The Old Fleece in Stroud, and if you haven't tried Thatcher's Gold Cider on draugtht, do! The walk itself is often quite vertical, both down and up, in all of its sections, most of them accordingly scenic, so be prepared with good hiking boots (we also had sticks), and a fair amount of patience.

Rating for tour operator:

All interactions with Mickledore have been pleasant, and we had no reason to fault their arrangements.

Mickledore took care of our accomodation and luggage transport. They provide an excellent and very helpful holiday pack. The booked B&B's were of very good quality. Mickledore is a very relieable partner, with great service. We booked several walkingholidays with them and we do hope to do so in the future.
