Wonderful walk along the coast of Wales
The first two weeks of september 2017 we walked the Pembrokeshire Coast Path with Mickledore Walking Holidays. The path is wonderful with astonishing views of the Wales coast line and always changing colours of the sky and sea. It was nice to meet other walkers from all over the world who were having the same experience. The path was sometimes demanding with some steep ascents and descents but never too long difficult. The weather was mostly ...

It was nice to meet other walkers from all over the world who were having the same experience. The path was sometimes demanding with some steep ascents and descents but never too long difficult. The weather was mostly good apart form one rainday. We enjoyed staying in some nice vilages and towns along the way.

Mickledore arranged our B&B's and luggagge transport. B&B's were all very good and the hosts very friendly and helpful. Luggage transport went smoothly. Mickledore gave excellent information and were always prompt to answers your emails.
It's great to hear that you enjoyed you walk along this fabulous coastal path, it really is a beautiful route. We have plenty more to choose from so we do hope you will let us book another adventure very soon.

Great walking Lady Anne's Way
We walked from Skipton to Penrith over 9 days in the footsteps of Lady Anne Clifford. It was arranged through Mickledore and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Each of our overnight stays organised by Mickledore was good providing a very good breakfast which set us up for that day's walk. We had some great weather at the beginning, providing the opportunity of some excellent views of Wharfedale and Wensleydale, during the middle of the walk there was ...

We picked Mickledore's Lady Anne's Way because we had done 2 previous walks with them. There organisation and management of was excellent. The B&B's chosen by Mickledore were very good; the directions provided to them were exceptional. The paperwork provided at the beginning of the walk covered every, and I mean every, eventuality and need for the walk from coffee shops along the way to a range of eating places for the evening. Prior to the walk Mickledore's team were always friendly and helpful no matter how trivial the question may be.
Thank you for these kind words, we are very happy to answer all questions to help you with your holiday, so we are pleased you found us helpful. Its also great to receive feedback about the holiday pack information as we do put a lot of effort into keeping these up to date and useful. Lady Anne's Way is in a beautiful part of the country but we have many more routes that are similarly spectacular so please do take a look and book another very soon.

West Highland Way
All of the arrangements made by Mickledore for our hike along the West Highland Way were excellent. The selected lodgings and accommodations were perfect and the luggage transfer service worked flawlessly. Also, all of the lodges and inns correctly recorded our request for a packed trail lunch each day. The entire trip was hassle-free and well-organized.

Excellent Cotswold Way Walk (self- tour)
We just returned from a Cotswold Way Walk organized by Mickledore Travel as a self tour. We had an excellent time hiking the entire 103 miles of trail from Chipping Campden to Bath. We chose the 9 day tour which averaged 10-15 miles a day. Mickeldore booked us into B&B's and Inns along the trail. The accommodations were first-rate and we had no problems at all with any of the accommodation, or the transfer of our luggage. Most accommodations ...

The accommodations were first-rate and we had no problems at all with any of the accommodation, or the transfer of our luggage. Most accommodations were right off the trail, or only a short distance away. Every day was a fantastic journey, ending with luggage in the room, a hot shower, and a comfy bed.

This self guided walk, organized by Mickeldore Travel was excellent. The information we received such as maps, trail guides, services, and accommodations were well organized and extremely useful. They left nothing to chance. No complaints at all regarding any of the B&B's or inns. We enjoyed each one and its uniqueness to the community. I would definitely book another tour with Mickeldore. Thank you, Mickeldore for organizing a great walk (thanks for the great weather you provided also!). We could not have planned a more complete walking vacation without your wonderful service.
It's great to hear that you had a great holiday and found our accommodation choices to be good. We put a lot of effort into sourcing the best places to stay so we are pleased that you enjoyed them. We look forward to organising your next trip!

The West Highland Way is a beautiful trail, with some challenging parts, but is achievable by most people with moderate fitness if you pick the correct itinerery.

Brilliant support. Simple booking process even though I booked quite late. Really comprehensive information pack including - a map - a guidebook - a list of restaurants and services near the trail - detailed information about how to find your accommodation each night.
It sounds like you had a fantastic time on the West Highland Way, especially so thanks to your lighter backpack. It is also good to hear that you found the holiday pack information comprehensive. Thanks for your great feedback, we would be pleased to arrange your next walking holiday for you.

Great cycling holiday!
I had a last minute opportunity for a 1week cycling holiday in my agenda but no time left to organise it all. Mickledore took all this on and did an excellent job! I choose to combine the C2C and Hadrian Cycleway routes to make it into a C2C2C. Mickledore had all accomdation booked in no time and my documentation pack was waiting for me at the first B&B. At each of the following B&B's I found a warm welcome, a comfortable bed and good food...

Fantastic trip--easy planning!
I walked the West Highland Way using Mickledore to arrange accommodation and baggage transfer. Everything was very smooth, and all information accurate. They were always quick to respond to questions. The holiday could not have been better!

Well organised hiking holiday
Together with two friends I booked a hiking holiday to walk the West Highland Way in Scotland with Mickledore Travel. They provided us with all the information required to complete the walk safely. All our accommodation was pre booked, our luggage forwarded, and transfers organised where required. All we had to do was enjoy the hiking. Bed and Breakfast accommodation was of a high standard at 90% of locations, bearing in mind the remoteness ...

All our accommodation was pre booked, our luggage forwarded, and transfers organised where required. All we had to do was enjoy the hiking. Bed and Breakfast accommodation was of a high standard at 90% of locations, bearing in mind the remoteness of some locations where only one hotel was available, it was obvious where more choice was available, we got the best. This was the second holiday we had booked with Mickledore travel, and would not hesitate in using them again in the future.
