Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

Brilliant walking. Stunning views. Accommodation spot on. Route maps and book excellent. Mickledore did us proud again. Already thinking about next year!!

Very pleasant and informative staff. Nothing too much trouble

Walking Hadrians Wall in Northumberland. Organised b and b stops every night and luggage moved daily to next destination. Enjoyed the escape and stayed in some lovely accomodation

Very organised pre information, prompt contact on booking and a willingness to help.

We have travelled with Mickledore several times and have learnt to expect a well organised and trouble free trip. Arran has limited accommodation and we stayed at excellent B&Bs, Guest Houses & Hotels. Inspected regularly and highly recommended. A very enjoyable trip with a personalised itinery.

Based in Keswick we like to support a local business. Well respected and highly recommended. They inspect regularly and receive excellent feedback from the accommodation used.

I purposely took on this hike solo as my wife passed away in 2016 and wanted some time to reflect. While it was a very emotional journey for me and at times difficult, I have come out stronger. The actual hike itself was beautiful; the flowers were in full bloom, I had decent weather, the scenery was spectacular and I met some fine people hiking and or dining. The B and B's were all good and hosts were knowledgeable and helpful. I have recommended Mickledore to several friends already

Prompt and thorough service. Information I received was precise and complete.

Five spectacular days walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, not even rain for 50% of the time could dampen my spirits. As expected (this was my third Mickledore walking holiday) the accommodation was first rate and the information pack covered absolutely everything, from tide tables to ATMs. All I had to do was enjoy the walk, knowing that all the arrangements had been taken care of.

I have always received efficient service from Mickledore, and have also heard good reports from B and B owners and taxi drivers. They think of everything to make the holiday go smoothly.

Five of us, all in our 60's and 70's, chose to "do" the Rob Roy Way over six days walking. The walking is relatively easy, much of it on forest tracks and old railway lines, not a lot of climbing! We averaged 13 miles a day, sadly on two days in the rain, but that's Scotland for you. Most of the locals advised us to do the walk in May but we chose June.

We chose Mickledore of Keswick to organise our trip. They were very helpful, by phone and by email and we had no problems at all incompleting the bookings. The booklet giving accommodation details was spot on apart from one tiny error which did not affect our trip and the company was pleased when we pointed out the mistake. I would certainly use Mickledore again.

My husband and I have walked the C2C in May. We had a perfectly organized coast-to-coast holiday. We have greatly enjoyed the walk, as well as the variety of places where we stayed during the walks. We started in St Bees and had a rest day after 10 days of walking in Richmond at the Old Brewery. After the rest day we had another 6 days of walking. Mickledore had arranged a taxi on the last day to pick us up at Robin Hoods Bay, and took us back to Richmond were Mickledore had arranged a parking place for our car during the holiday. Admittedly, the walk was very challenging at some parts of the Lake District, because, The Netherlands doesn’t really do hills let alone fells, which makes practicing for us quite difficult. But once we were on the top, the view was spectacular (when it wasn't foggy) Overall we had a well organized holiday!

My husband and I have walked the C2C in May. Mickledore arranged all our accommodation, packed lunches on the walking days, and some of the dinner reservations (if there was only one restaurant in the village). They also arranged for our luggage to be transferred each day. They helped us with the transport to St Bees (from Richmond) and at the last day from Robin Hoods Bay back to the car at Richmond. After booking and planning where to stay on our rest day. Mickledore send a package filled with papers: Luggage tags, discount coupon for some shops, directions to our accommodation, diversions on the route, places to eat every evening, who to call, etc. And two waterproof maps and a book of the route. The only thing you had to do each day was getting your backpack and walk. We’ve now done not only C2C, but also Speyside, Great Glenn Way and Hadrian’s Wall, via Mickledore. And it was always perfectly arranged!

Great trip, good accomodations, excellent information.

Mickledore is very good. Several of the hosts in the B&Bs commented on the quality of service.

This is the second time i've used Mickledore Travel to arrange my walking holiday and everything went to plan. They booked my overnight accommodation, provided route maps, baggage transfer and even a packed lunch everyday if you required it. They also provide info on where you can get cash, toilets, food, doctors, taxis etc along the way. I had a very enjoyable holiday and walked with different people that i met along the way.

I've spoken to the staff at Mickledore over the phone and also called into their office in Keswick. They are all very friendly and knowledgeable because they've walked the routes themselves. Would highly recommend Mickledore Travel.

Walking 5 days of C2C starting in S Bees.

Mickledore provided the support for our 5 days of C2C. They exceeded our expectations. The pack of information that arrived prior to our departure was faultless; maps, details of how to find our B&B each night, taxi numbers etc. They replied promptly to our queries and we would have no hesitation in using them again for the next leg.
