Pembrokeshire Coast Path by TrevorF99, 4 Jul 2017
Holiday Rating:

Pembrokeshire coast path - what a revelation!

We chose the Pembrokeshire coast path as this year's long distance walk. I visited the area a long time ago but had forgotten how lovely it is, particularly either side of Fishguard in the 2nd half of the walk.

Rating for tour operator:

The accommodation and luggage transfer organised by Mickledore were of their usual excellent standard.

St Oswalds Way by GillyC, 30 Jun 2017
Holiday Rating:

Attractive walking with wild flowers and birdsong

Walking the northern part of the St Oswald's way (Holy Island to Warkworth) was a wonderful way to escape the worries of everyday life. Carrying just a day sack, we were able to linger and look at wildflowers and wonder at the skylarks. The accommodation was welcoming and all arrangements were taken care of by Mickledore faultlessly.

From the easy to use website to the excellent communication at all times - and the level of service there was nothing we could fault Mickledore on.

A truly professional service with attention to detail which made our holiday wonderful.

A group of 4 walked the Great Glen Way with totally comprehensive arrangements made by Mickeldore. Anything we wanted to know was in the information they provided.

Speyside Way by Charlie, 28 Jun 2017
Holiday Rating:

Excellent holiday; well organised as always.

Although we have a holiday home in the area we decided to use Mickledore having used them in the past. The Speyside Way is a very pleasant walk through interesting countryside. All the overnight stops were excellent with outstanding food in all cases. Mickledore were very flexible in changing the standard holiday to meet out requirements.

Dales Way by John Duncan, 26 Jun 2017
Holiday Rating:

A wonderful walk

We walked the Dales Way, from Ilkley to Bowness on Windermere, over a period of 7 days. The route and the scenery were wonderful, and we stayed in some terrific B&Bs - which had been selected by our tour operator. Our luggage was transported for us each day, leaving us free to enjoy our holiday with only a day-sack to carry.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore made all the arrangements including B&Bs, luggage transfers and a taxi transfer where necessary. It all worked seamlessly. They provided excellent route instructions and detailed maps. All contact we had with them was professional and effective. We would use them again without hesitation.

Trouble Free

We have travelled with Mickledore several times and have learnt to expect a well organised and trouble free trip. Arran has limited accommodation and we stayed at excellent B&Bs, Guest Houses & Hotels. Inspected regularly and highly recommended. A very enjoyable trip with a personalised itinery.

Pembrokeshire Coastal Trail Hike

I purposely took on this hike solo as my wife passed away in 2016 and wanted some time to reflect. While it was a very emotional journey for me and at times difficult, I have come out stronger. The actual hike itself was beautiful; the flowers were in full bloom, I had decent weather, the scenery was spectacular and I met some fine people hiking and or dining. The B and B's were all good and hosts were knowledgeable and helpful. I have recommended ...

Pembrokeshire Coast Path by jood, 22 Jun 2017
Holiday Rating:

Another great walking experience with Mickledore

Five spectacular days walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, not even rain for 50% of the time could dampen my spirits. As expected (this was my third Mickledore walking holiday) the accommodation was first rate and the information pack covered absolutely everything, from tide tables to ATMs. All I had to do was enjoy the walk, knowing that all the arrangements had been taken care of.

I have always received efficient service from Mickledore, and have also heard good reports from B and B owners and taxi drivers. They think of everything to make the holiday go smoothly.
