Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

We enjoyed a week of walking along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The Landscape was beautiful. There were lots of cliffs and great beaches. What we liked very much too, was the small amount of people that we met on the path.

Mickledore organized our holiday very good. They booked very nice accomodations for us which were located not far away from the coast path. The luggage transport worked perfektly. Mickledore sent us our holiday information in advance. It contained a guide book,a good detailed map of the area where we were walking and our personal information. Everything worked without any problems.

We did for 15 days the Pembrokeshire-Costal-Path including luggage-transport. Everything worked out very good and we had a wondeful holiday.

We were very happy with our tour operator.

An excellent choice of B&Bs, well-informed about the tracks (Penbrokeshire coast path, Wales), fabulous walks, lots of wildlife spotted, warm and friendly contact with the local communities Careless holidays. Just walk, the rest is taken care of.

With Mickledore you get a very careless holiday, because the quality of the accomodations is guaranteed, smooth luggage transport, a perfectly integrated organistion in the local communities all over the country! Just walk, the rest is taken care of.

My friends and I walked the Hadrian's wall path, the whole 84 miles for 8 days from East to West in July. The route was clearly signposted and with the help of the "Trailblazer" we found our way around. We all enjoyed the walk with lots to see on the way, when we reach the wall and were high up on the mountains we could not believe the views we encountered, it was absolutely amazing and so rewarding after climbing and scrambling over rocks. We met so many nice people in the day some of them would stay in the same B&B which was really nice so we could exchange experiences and information. All in all the whole experience was very pleasant and I would definitely recommend the walking holiday to anybody.

The holiday was very well organised from start to finish the majority of the B&B's we stayed in were located conveniently along the trail so after a long days walking and feeling rather tired we had a comfortable room to go to. The information pack that I received well in time for our start date included everything from local taxi firms phone numbers to ATM locations , and how to get to the B&B as one or two would be a short distance of the path'. For two B&B locations Mickledore had an arrangement with the proprietor to pick us up from an allocated location and drop us of again the following day to continue our walk. It was very well arranged and I would without any hesitation book a walking holiday with Mickledore again.

...I decided to try The Hadrian's Wall Path first as it is marked as one of the easier ones. I loved every minute of it, I think I have discovered a new passion.

Mickledore arranged everything for me friendly, professionally and on very short notice. I had all necessary information and materials, so even a rookie like me couldn't do wrong. They chose very reasonable and at times even brilliant accommodation. If I have one suggestion for improvement, it is the mobile app. A few hyperlinks and some interactive features would greatly improve it.

An amazing experience - crossing England along the Hadrian's Wall path. From the nature reserves of Bowness on Solway, feeling on top of the world on the Crags and then slowly passing through fields of gold towards the river Tyne.

We wanted to walk Hadrian’s Wall and chose Micledore to arrange the holiday having had them recommended to us. We’ve been on trips like this before so we can compare levels of service and expertise. Right from the start Micledore proved to be exceptional because of their attention to detail. They were attentive to our requests and quick to find solutions. They provided all the information we needed to get from place to place and find our accomodation. As we live abroad we really appreciated the quality and variety of accomodation and eating places they arranged for us which gave us a taste of life in rural Britain. We hope to participate in further holdiays with Mickledore and recommend them without hesitation.

My sister and I are just back from a 4day walking holiday ,walking the most scenic part of Hadrians Wall. We started in Corbridge and ended up in Brampton. We had lovely Guesthouses to rest our weary bones each night. We started with a wonderful breakfast,and lunch to eat on the walk.The landscape was so varied,from lakes to distant mountains,altogether a great experience.

mickledore Travel was very helpful,providing us with good maps and info. Our places to stay proved comfortable and meals were excellent.

We had a wonderful four day walking trip along Hadrian's Wall staying at five different B & B's along the way.

Very helpful, well organised, efficient. The information pack was excellent and the service provided was terrific.

Thanks to your organization, our walk went very well. We were even lucky enough to have very little rain & mud. The B&B's were good, with 2 stand-outs: Langleigh Guest House in Carlisle, and Hunter Crook Lodge, in Twice Brewed. They were both exceptional. Lucky for us we had 2-3 nights in each. Langleigh had fabulous rooms, wonderful hosts & outstanding breakfasts. Hunter Crook also had very nice rooms, made better by country views outside the window, along with all manner of animals. The rooster really wanted to check out our room! The hosts were delightful. Julie did some laundry for us, and unexpected bonus. The food was do die for. The other B&B's were very good, but these two stood out. The walk was as we expected, with a bit of challenge in the middle. We had a wonderful time. One of our group had the Henry Stedman guidebook: Hadrian's Wall Path, 4th edition, 2014. Although it goes the other way, we found it much more useful than the Cicerone guide. The maps were in sketch form, and had landmarks that were easy to recognize & follow. The daily written descriptions in both books were good. The booklet we got with the B&B names & instructions were fine. We all thought the maps showing the location of the B&B were useless. They were much too small to make sense of. I would like to have had daily walking distances added to the outline. I can not fathom why Mickledore will not allow one person to book a lunch. It makes absolutely no sense to me, or anyone else in our group. As it turned out, there was only one day where we couldn't access a pub for lunch. When we arrived in Tynemouth, the directions to the B&B seemed wrong. We couldn't find a cobble street, and we ended up in the wrong section of town. Some kind person, mowing his lawn, helped us out. Street names & compass directions may help. Overall, a very good trip.

Mickledore is a good company. The tour ran smoothly, with no hiccups.

Walking the South Downs Way national trail. What a beautiful walk and I had superb hot weather. Thousands of butterflies and hundreds of skylarks - truly wonderful. The walking is moderate although coming off the back of Devil's Dyke is a bit steep and the path peters out - but that is not part off the trail so it is understandable. A little care and caution was needed. The only negative was in some of the woodland at the Winchester side of the trail was horse flies biting but this stopped when using a good insect repellent. Some brilliant villages and places to stay and eat during the walk. Friendly people and such generous portions at all the places to eat. Very pleased with the whole trail.

Mickledore had everything organised to the last detail. Third year I have used them and they get better each time. Their itinaries and support information are very comprehensive. The accommodation they choose is superb and most places provide packed lunches as well. Luggage collections and taxi transfers are efficient and friendly and a great source of local knowledge. I would say that everything is well thought out and planned even down to options being available en route. On top of that I trust and rely on them which lets me get on with the walking and enjoying all I see and do on the trail.
