Wonderful, Beautiful, Splendid Cotswold way Trek in 2016

The Cotswold Way Trek is an amazing experience. Mickledore makes it all possible and so easy by taking care of B&B reservations and moving luggage and recommending local restaurants for evening dinners. Central England has to be one of the most beautiful parts of the world, and Mickledore makes it so easy to enjoy and experience.

Mickledore is fantastic! They are very professional, responsive, and quick to reply to email inquiries. Best of all, when you call them on the phone, you get a live person that answers the phone. That is a rare phenomenon in this world of automated answering machines. Mickledore provides excellent service all around. Their reservation process is simple and flexible. They give you plenty of time to pay in advance. I love how they take all of the guess work out of the travelling process. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the beautiful countryside. I was very pleased with Mickledore service and will book with them again next year.

fantastic well planned holiday

My daughter and I walked the West Highland Way from 21st to 27th May 2016. We had the most wonderful trip with sunshine all the way except for the first two days which were showery.The scenery on this walk is spectacular and for us, it was great to see the trip from Glasgow to Fort William from another perspective - we spend 2weeks every year in Fort William walking the hills. To anyone thinking of the Way for a trip I would recommend it highly ...

My daughter and I wanted a trouble free holiday and Mickledore certainly filled the bill on that score. They arranged all our accommodation, lunches, bar the first day, and also arranged for our luggage to be transferred ahead each day.They also booked accommodation in Milngavie for the night before we started on the Way. From the time of booking to the end of our trip everything went like clockwork. If we had any queries ,our e-mails were replied to promptly. We were given a map and book of the route , clear directions to our accommodation, places to eat every evening and much more. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mickledore to anyone - in fact I have booked another trip with them for next year.

Trecking Holiday on the West Highland Way .As you walk you take in the Stunning Scenery.

Walking keeps you fit. We met lovely people from different country's. Enjoying the mountains ,lakes, and wild flowers, most B & B 's are so welcoming, and great you with a great smile, often homemade cake and biscuits.

Mickledore transport our heavy bags safely from one B & B to another, save's us carrying a lot of heavy Toilotiries, and change of clothing. They provide Maps, of local area, details on how to find your Accomodation. Places to eat. Labels for your luggage. And 15 % of casual clothing in Cotswold stores.

Family holiday walking Hadrains wall

We spent 7 days walking Hadrains wall. It was a real challenge but it was great fun as we met lots of people doing the same.

Mickledore is an excellent tour operator, the listened to our specific requirements and fulfilled all of them. The organisation of the whole trip provided us with peace of mind and left us just able to enjoy ourselves. All accommodation was of a good standard, some excellent and totally unexpected.

Advance Planning and Materials took all the worry out of our holiday

Mickledore was spot on with everything-one exception was a sub-par B&B. They even got us 3 days of sun out of six for our walk in mid May. A miracle.

Pembrokeshire Coast Path - walking 70 miles in 7 days.

Starting in Solva, we walked along the Pembrokeshire Coat Path, ending in St. Dogmael's. The week-long walk (70 miles and 9,000 feet elevation gain) was both challenging and inspiring. The views along the Coast Path include breathtaking panoramas of the rugged Welsh coast line accented with fields of bluebells and other wildflowers. The excellent arrangements provided by Mickeldore, including nightly accommodations at first class B&B's; pre-trip ...

Organised to perfection!

We were so happy that every day at the end of our walk our bags were at the next destination...even if we were a little early. The B&B's selected were really good, with a couple of exceptions that Mickledore have taken the feedback on board. I cannot speak highly enough of them from start to finish. Lynn

Perfect

We had a most relaxing holiday in England. It was our 8th walk with Mickledore and every time a most unforgetable experience. The B&Bs were most welcoming and the walks well-marked and easy to find with the provided documents. Every walk was special but all of them offered a lovely scenery and lovely views.
