Walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path

It was fabulous! Mickledore provided the perfect accommodations and directions one could imagine. It didn't hurt that we had very little rain!

Perfection! This is the third time I've used Mickledore and wouldn't think of using anyone else when hiking in Great Britain. I only wish they did other countries!

A terrific holiday!

As we have come to expect from Mickledore, everything was metoculously organized, the accommodations were first class, and attention was given every detail. We booked along with Italian friends and were able to coordinate all arrangements. All information regarding dinner locations, other attractions etc was accurate and up to date. I cannot think of one negative thing to say (of course, the miracle of no rain for three days on the Highlands ...

Walking the West Highland Way Scotland

Two in our group, booked the walking holiday with Mickledore Travel, Keswick. We had a choice of the number of days plus to add rest days if required. Map, Guide book and lots of ancillary information given. B&B's booked, transport organised when we had to leave the trail for overnight. Breakfasts & Packed lunches provided excellent. Luggage transferred without a hitch They arranged an extra day in Fort William for myself to complete Ben Nevis...

A delightful walking holiday through wonderful countryside.

I spent 7 days walking the Dales Way in April. As northern long distance walking routes go, this is relatively undemanding and offers outstanding scenery for modest effort. A bonus is that much of the route follows lesser known tranquil dales. The route is, for the most part, easy underfoot, well maintained and well way marked making it a good choice for those new to long distance walking. I was blessed with excellent weather throughout and ...

Smooth running so we could enjoy our walk

We walked St Cuthbert's Way from Melrose to Lindisfarne through fabulous country with some great hotels and B&Bs along the way. Each day an unseen team of baggage fairies collected our cases and delivered them to the next destination as if by magic.

Mickeldore took care of everything, even suggesting we do not order one day picnic as there would be plenty of pubs/ tea rooms on the way that specific day. Very professional and friendly contacts.

A fabulous walk along the South Downs Way

We walked for eight days along the entire South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne with a day off in Lewes between days six and seven. This is a magnificent walk and we had the added bonus of beautiful weather. The pictures of the chalk cliffs cannot convey the impressive sight of them "in the flesh" and there were many charming villages to visit along the way. This was a wonderful holiday

This was our fourth walk organized by Mickledore and, as in the past, our itinerary was beautifully planned. We had all the materials we needed to guide us on our walk. Our luggage was waiting for us when we reached each destination. The accommodations were welcoming, comfortable, and often luxurious, and we were given beautiful breakfasts and generous packed lunches. Our only job was to walk from point A to point B each day.

Fabulous week walking the Cotswold Way,

This was our first time doing a long distance trail and we absolutely loved it. Each day was different. The scenery is varied with stunning views. We got to explore some beautiful Cotswold villages, walked through woodland filled with squirrels and there are colourful wild flowers everywhere. We even saw a badger one day and 2 red deer another. There were a lot more ups and downs than we had anticipated, it felt like we went up every single ...

This was our first time doing a long distance trail and we absolutely loved it. Each day was different. The scenery is varied with stunning views. We got to explore some beautiful Cotswold villages, walked through woodland filled with squirrels and there are colourful wild flowers everywhere. We even saw a badger one day and 2 red deer another. There were a lot more ups and downs than we had anticipated, it felt like we went up every single hill in the Cotswolds! We used Mickeldore to book the holiday and apart from 1 hotel where our room wasn't very pleasant, the standard of accommodation was very good with comfortable beds and excellent breakfasts and hosts that made you feel very welcome. I used trip advisor to pick where we would eat every night and we had some really good meals, especially the Mount in Stanton and the Falcon Arms in Painswick. We added an extra night in Bath so we could explode this wonderful city and it was the perfect end to a really enjoyable holiday. If you like walking this is a fabulous holiday.

It was our first holiday using Mickledore and I have been very impressed with this company. Before I booked the holiday I rang Mickledore with a few questions, and the lady I spoke to was very helpful and it was obvious that she knew a lot about the Cotswold Way holiday that I was interested in. I specifically asked that all our accommodation was en-suite and they assured me this would be arranged and it was.. I also asked if I could pick where we stayed in Bath as we were going to be there for a few nights and again this wasn't a problem and they emailed me details of several bed and breakfasts that they used for me to choose one. The amount of information, including maps , lunch stops, bus timetables and places to eat on an evening was extremely detailed and very useful. I really couldn't fault the service provided by Mickledore.

So wonderful and peaceful walk along the Cotswold way ! Perfect organisation by Mickledore.

After The Hadrian wall last year, that's the second I travel with Mickledore. This Cotswold way Holiday has been wonderful ! Everything went beautifully : • the B&Bs Mickledore booked : great bedrooms, hosts, location and food • the weather, THE WEATHER ! 11 days of sunny or slightly overcast weather • the walk itself, amazing, peaceful, varied and sooo green • the people : welcoming and kind everywhere • the great villages, churches ...

It also allowed me to make all the stops and detours by foot recommended by the guidebook, and each time it's been worth it.

Rating for tour operator:

Professionnal, very quick and nice at answering any question. They have a great reputation among the B&Bs hosts, I could check ; they consider them very professionnal and it's a plus for me to know people in the field feel this way. It made me feel safe. The English language not being my mother tongue, what attracted me first was their very clear website. Still now, having check others, I consider it as the best one, the clearest and most practical one.
