Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

We walked the 80 miles of the Northumberland Coastal path from Morpeth to Berwick, in 5 days, with extra days built into our itinerary to visit the sea bird colonies on the Farne Islands, and Lindisfarne. Mickeldore orgainsed our accommodation and luggage transfers, enabling us to relax and enjoy a wonderful - if occasionally wet and footsore - week exploring the rugged beauty of the North East.

This was the third self-guided walking holiday that we have booked with Mickledore over the last 5 or 6 years, and once again their detailed knowledge of the route resulted in a well-planned itinerary combined with some excellent and welcoming B&Bs. Mickeldore were able to work around our specific dates, build in rest days in the locations we wanted, and provided local maps and comprehensive information on local amenities including recommendations for meals. I have no hesitation in recommending Mickeldore to anyone interested in enjoying everything our beautiful countryside has to offer.

It was a wonderful experience helped by terrific weather and spectacular scenery. However, the real highlight was the people I met, including fellow walkers, locals and the owners and staff of the places I stayed. There was a genuine warm and friendly welcome at all 17 places that I stayed which is testimony to the operator for picking these venues.

Brilliant, from the information they supplied to their flexibility and problem solving initiative when there was a problem. One of the venues suffered storm damage and another had a blocked toilet but Mickledore and to an extent the venues in question sorted out alternative accommodation and presented me with a solution before I even knew there was a problem

The coast is beautiful and the walking was usually easy. The daily miles were doable and the accommodations were excellent. A bus line shadowed the route so that we could ride a bus if we wanted to stop walking.

The tour was reasonably priced and well-organized. The lodging that they arranged was excellent. They provided much useful information about the route. They rearranged our trip slightly without a problems. I recommend this trip highly and will use Mickledore again for other trips.

Made excellent by the great planning by Micledore. We walked from Appleby in Westmorland to Arnside. All the overnight stay were very good some were excellent. The weather was varied and detail provided by Mickledore was a great help at the end of the day to find the exact place to stay

This is the second time we have used Mickledore and highly recommend them. The contact prior to the walk was excellent with friendly help. The documentation provided covered all aspects of the holiday and great attention was paid to the detail. As they say it's all in the planning and their plan big is excellent. Information before the holiday included the maps, the booklet, details of where to eat when we arrived at the guest house and detailed description and maps on how to get to the guest house.

We booked the 6 night, 5 day hike from Corbridge to Carlisle along Hadrian's Wall in the UK through Mickledore Travel. The hike along the wall was beautiful and we were lucky to enjoy sunny weather all 5 days. This is the perfect holiday for couples who want to see the countryside, enjoy some history and visit some of the smaller towns along the way. The food was great at every stop and we found that the full English breakfasts at each of the B&Bs carried us through to dinner with a small snack mid-day. Having our luggage transferred between each stop made it easy to pack what we needed with out the concern of being overburdened on our hike. A wonderful way to travel!

Customer service was excellent and bookings with B&Bs were all great. Mickledore even let our hosts know that we were on our Honeymoon which was very nice as a couple of the B&Bs made sure our stay was extra special. The hiking itinerary was perfectly balanced and documentation provided for our route and meal planning was very helpful. We look forward to booking another trip with them in the future!

This was a great self-guided walk from the Tweed Valley, across the Scottish borders and through the Cheviots to Holy Island, via the causeway. Having chosen the 6 night package, I walked between 7 and 17 miles a day for 5 days, but shorter and longer options are possible. A second night on Holy Island was one of the highlights, enabling me to spend a day exploring the island at leisure. I completed the holiday by walking along the coast path to Berwick, where I spent the night before catching the train home.

Mickledore arranged excellent B and B for each night halt and provided all the information I needed along the way. This included a guide book and map of the walk (waterproof, although I completed in the dry!) tide and bus timetables, where to eat, shop and find other facilities. I didn't opt for packed lunches or baggage transfer, but these could be added to the package if wanted.

We had a great time on our Cumbria Way walk! The weather was perfect (only a few hours of rain on Day 1), scenery was amazing, people wer friendly and helpful!

Everything was organized. We didn't have to worry about where we were staying and how to transport our luggage. Every location was clean and people were very helpful. We received our information package long enough beforehand to read through and familiarize ourselves with where we were going. All of the information was useful and helpful in organizing places to eat and visit.

Walking tour starting in Winchester and proceeding at a (reasonably) leisurely pace, averaging 11 - 14 miles daily, ending in Eastbourne. The trail was well-marked, guidebook was up-to-date and comprehensive. We were fortunate to have only two misty days overall. Spring flowers were in bloom. Contracted B & B's were all quite satisfactory. The multitude of tiny stone churches we passed and/or visited were amazing. I had/have a happy wife. And I love British pubs!

Contracted services were exactly as advertised, including arranging all lodging, providing guidebooks and trail info, and daily transportation of luggage to our next night's abode. Mickledore's website is easy to navigate, queries were expeditiously handled, and payments from outside the UK were simple. We're planning another walking tour with them next year.

This was a self guided walking holiday covering about 200 miles around the Pembrokeshire coast. Baggage transfer and accommodation was booked in advance by Mickledore. Evening meals were either arranged by Mickledore or ourselves. The trip was a total of 18 days which included 2 rest days

Our tour operator, Mickledore did an excellent job in selecting and booking accommodations for 14 people each night. They arranged to have our heavy bags transferred daily to our next location. This was executed flawlessly. Mickledore provided maps and instructions on the route and details about public transport and tides. Their pre planning was excellent and meant that our vacation went off smoothly. Special thanks to Lynne for here attention to detail.

Dales Way walking holiday. Accommodation booked along the route, bags taken for us. Supplied with comprehensive information and route guidance. All we had to do was turn up, walk and enjoy the scenery. Very relaxing.

Very helpful, efficient and thorough. Had used them more than once, and very happy to recommend them to family and friends
