Wonderful from start to finish.
My wife and myself spent 6 days walking the Northumberland Coastal Path. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. Organisation was superb and the overnight stays were top class. Even the weather favoured us, not a spot of rain. We have used Mickledore before and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Rating for tour operator:A first class company who have never let us down.
Thank you for you rating Mickledore as excellent and it is great to hear you rated your accommodation as "top class". The weather has been generally good this year for walking, so I am glad you got to enjoy it on your Northumberland Coast Path holiday. Thank you for recommending Mickledore, Lucy.
It opened us up to new possibilities and experiences.
WE walked some 26 miles or so of Hadrian's Wall over three days, staying at excellent local local bed and breakfasts. The trio was organised by Mickledore and gave us the confidence to undertake something that we would not otherwise have had. Mickeldore's organisation was excellent and very personal and personable. Everything went like clockwork. We were always given a warm welcome, a comfortable lodging and excellent food at the B&Bs they booked ...

Everything went like clockwork. We were always given a warm welcome, a comfortable lodging and excellent food at the B&Bs they booked for us. OUr luggage moved effortlessly it seemed from stop to stop. The scenery was spectacular and my husband developed an interest int he Roman's to match that of our youngest ten year old son. A very memorable experience we will talk about for years to come.

Rating for tour operator:Mickledore provided excellent service from start to finish. It was a pleasure dealing with you. The accommodation was varied and well selected, the information and maps, etc were detailed and very useful. The quality of service does justify the cost. Thank you Mickledore for a great holiday.

Mickledore is amazing!
We did a six day walking holiday on the Northumberland Coastal Path arranged by Mickledore. They provided amazing detail with the pretrip packet with maps to each location along with larger maps and guidebooks. The B and Bs were fantastic with wonderful and kind hosts. The luggage transfers happened flawlessly. My daughter and I had an easy time finding our route and enjoyed the variety of paths through forest, across pasture, on the beaches ...

My daughter and I had an easy time finding our route and enjoyed the variety of paths through forest, across pasture, on the beaches and in the dunes and even crossing several golf courses. This was an unforgettable trip for us! Thanks to Mickledore!

Lovely walk along Lady Anne's Way
A friend and I used Sheila Gordon's wonderful book to follow part of the route used by Lady Anne Clifford to travel between her castles in Yorkshire and Cumbria during the 17th century. The combination of magnificent countryside and fascinating history made this holiday very special. We took six days to walk from Hawes to Penrith and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Rating for tour operator:This is the fifth consecutive year that we have made a trip arranged by Mickledore. The information that we receive from them is very complete and helpful, the B&Bs they reserve for us are comfortable and welcoming, and the baggage transfer between B&Bs has always been flawless.
Thank you very much for your lovely feedback, I'm happy to hear you had yet another great holiday with us. Lady Anne's Way is indeed beautiful and fascinating. I hope that you will consider a 6th holiday with us next year!

Brilliant organising and planning from Mickledore
I walked the Northumberland Coastal Trail solo using Mickledore. It was booked the day before I started and they made sure that maps and guide were delivered. The coastal trail is a lovely walk that includes some stunning scenery. If I did this again, I would include a visit to Holy Island, and stay an extra day near the Causeway.

Rating for tour operator:Their service and choice of accommodation is excellent, and I will be booking with them again.
Thank you for your kind comments, I'm pleased that we had this last minute availability and were able to arrange the trip for you. We would be happy to arrange another holiday for you in the future.

Great planning and organisation
This was a walking holiday on the coast to coast route from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay. This involved staying in a different hotel or B&B every night and transporting my suitcase from place to place as well. The walk was a fantastic experience and I loved every minute. In retrospect, I would make some minor changes, but I am already considering doing it again.

Rating for tour operator:I used Mickledore Travel to book a 17 day walking holiday. They booked my overnight stops, organised my suitcase to magically appear at the right place every night and arranged for packed lunches to be provided. Everything worked perfectly, there were no hitches at all. The value of using Mickledore was illustrated when one hotel unexpectedly closed down, after accepting my booking. Mickledore acted quickly to find an alternative, making this a non-issue for me.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm pleased to hear you had such a great experience and everything went according to plan.
You are right that sometimes situations do occur that cannot be avoided, but on the rare occasions that they do, we act quickly to resolve them and ensure that you can just enjoy your holiday. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much you are thinking of doing it again, and I hope that you will come back to Mickledore for this! Tara

The quality of the accomodations was very good, very friendly and helpful hosts. All in all we have had an unforgettable holiday and we will still remember this holiday for along time. If somebody should ask me for a specialist in self guided walks in Great Britain i will recommend Mickledore.
Rating for tour operator:Mickledore has an understandable homepage thereby simple holiday-booking via email. Staff on the phone very friendly, helpful and competent. Excellent, detailed documents for the walk. In my opinion a real specialist for self guided tours in Great Britain.
Thank you for such complimentary feedback about Mickledore. We agree that the variety of good quality accommodation that we select for our walks really does make an unforgettable holiday. We are glad that you found your hosts friendly and helpful and hope that you have fond memories of your walking holiday for many years to come. Gill.
Excellent carefree walking by the sea
Walking the Northumberland coastal path was brilliant and very well organised by Mickledore. We had fantastic weather and the changing coastline was great to see.

Well organized walking holiday
We did the 3-days walking holiday "Best of Hadrian's Wall". The walking isn't that easy, but thanks to our holiday package, we were well informed and prepared. The bed and breakfasts always gave us a niece and relaxing welcome after the effort, we were well taken care of, as well as guarding our independance.

Rating for tour operator:The Mickeldore website was very clear and contact by mail always fast and friendly. We were surprised to get such a detailled holiday package, with guidebook, map and despriptive of every day and every place. We even helped other people on the trail who were not so well informed! The bed and breakfast places were very nice.
