Fabulous coast to coast walking holiday, six days of delightful walks and really excellent luggage transfer and B&B

We did the first half (nearly) of the coast to coast walk, three of us set out knowing that the first few days were very demanding yet by day 2 the desire to get to the end of the days walk was enhanced by the interest in seeing what tonight's B and B was like. They were varied, interesting and of a good standard. It was great to see the luggage get there effortlessly when we had got there with considerable effort! Map and guidebooks did the ...

We did the first half (nearly) of the coast to coast walk, three of us set out knowing that the first few days were very demanding yet by day 2 the desire to get to the end of the days walk was enhanced by the interest in seeing what tonight's B and B was like. They were varied, interesting and of a good standard. It was great to see the luggage get there effortlessly when we had got there with considerable effort! Map and guidebooks did the job, and left just enough for us to do to give a sense of achievement in our map reading skills. We were able to enjoy this outstanding walking country knowing all the details were being managed for us.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore. This company is clearly well respected by the B and B owners, and since they deal with these people regularly that indicates that the customer service we received was not a one off but shows consistent professionalism and enthusiasm for their business.

Thank you for your very kind comments. Its great to hear that you had such a good time and enjoyed your B&Bs, the route and the scenery. We put a lot of effort into managing all the aspects of your holiday leaving you to enjoy the walk. We look forward to arranging the second half for you !

Cotswold Way

We hiked the Votswold Way from Chipping Campden to Bath over 9 days. This is our third such long distance walk with !ickledore (Coast to Coast and West Highland Way are the other two). Mickledore does an outstanding job.

Cumbria Way by lilbet, 30 Sep 2016
Holiday Rating:

Exhilarating walking in the beautiful lake district

Our walk took us across a variety of countryside from rolling hills and across farmland, alongside the beautiful lakes and through the dramatic peaks. We stayed in some lovely bed and breakfasts on route and enjoyed a welcome at each place we visited.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickeldore provided an excellent service. Our initial booking was well managed and we were provided with helpful advice and support. The resources to help us through our walk were comprehensive, particularly the route book which gave us various options. The accommodation which had been chosen for us was welcoming and the way in which our luggage was transported was very efficient. Mickeldore is certainly a company we would use again.

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 04 Oct 2016:

Thank you for your feedback, the Cumbria Way is a beautiful route and its great to hear you enjoyed it. I'm pleased that you were happy with all of your accommodations as we do put a lot of effort into making sure these are good quality and welcoming. I hope that we can organise another holiday for you soon.

Hadrian's Wall by New lease oflife, 26 Sep 2016
Holiday Rating:

Hadrian's Wall charity walk

I spent ten days walking the Path with a friend, staying in b and b's each evening. The inflation,provided was outstanding and enabled us to find the Path even when there was no one else around and the path wasn't clear to see on the ground. Each B and B was unique but, almost without exception, they were outstanding in terms of welcome, standard of rooms and the quality/quantity of breakfast and packed lunch.

Mickledore were everything I hoped for and more. The planning, Communication., attention to detail were second to. One and meant that we did not have to worry about a thing. When I fell ill they were superb, contacting B and B owners and rearranging transport with Hadrian's Haul. Even when I phoned on a Sunday morning. The response was courteous, prompt and efficient.

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 26 Sep 2016:

I'm pleased to hear that you had a great time despite becoming ill and I'm happy that I could help you on a Sunday. We are contactable at all times during your walk so you always have help if it is needed. I hope you are feeling better now and we hope to be able to organise another walk for you when you are ready to choose your next trip.

Wonderful service and terrific arrangements

The Hadrian's Wall Path is a memorable adventure with great vistas and excellent museums along the way.

Rating for tour operator:

Before and after my trip, Mickledore was exceptional with responsive, helpful staff. The accommodations were excellent; the detailed itinerary provided every detail a traveller could need. I can't recommend Mickledore too highly.

Coast to Coast by Traveling Solo, 26 Sep 2016
Holiday Rating:

First time, but definately not the last

It was my first time traveling with Mickledore Walking Holidays, and I must admit I was a little anxious when booking. Not because of anything relating to the organization, but rather about traveling alone. I love walking and am comfortable in my own company, but was I going to be lonely? lost? perhaps lost in translation?. The truth is, traveling alone has been an eye-opener for me and I found that you're never really alone when you travel alone...

It was my first time traveling with Mickledore Walking Holidays, and I must admit I was a little anxious when booking. Not because of anything relating to the organization, but rather about traveling alone. I love walking and am comfortable in my own company, but was I going to be lonely? lost? perhaps lost in translation?. The truth is, traveling alone has been an eye-opener for me and I found that you're never really alone when you travel alone. All the friendly people I've met on the way, from the local people to fellow travelers, have truly made the experience for me. That, combined with the excellent organization of the trip by Mickledore ensured I never felt lost. Logistics were taken care of beyond expectation, so I was free to enjoy the experience. I will definately be back for more!

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore Walking Holidays goes above and beyond to make sure your trip runs smoothly. All the logistics are taken care of for one, but more importantly their travel tips make you feel like traveling with a local. Excellent!

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 26 Sep 2016:

Its great to hear that you had such a successful trip walking the Coast to Coast solo and I agree that you are never truly alone on a long distance route such as this. The other walkers and the local people will make sure of that and we are just at the end of the phone if you need us.
I hope that this has given you an appetite for more solo walks in the UK and we look forward to organising more walks for you !
