Mickledore Travel by Calder, 3 Aug 2016
Holiday Rating:

Lovely walking with no worries about luggage or overnight accommodation!

We walked from Melrose to Lindisfarne and loved the variety of scenery, abbeys to visit, wildflowers and birds in abundance. Our B&Bs were on the whole excellent and packed lunches provided were all different and just fine. Mickledore made all the arrangements for us and it all worked seamlessly.

A great walk along Hadrians Wall

This is the 3rd time we have booked with Mickledore Holidays. We find them excellent. Their choice of B&B's is of a very high standard, communication is excellent and the walking maps and materials received are very useful . I would recommend Mickledore to anyone

Well organised, worry free travel

Walking the St Oswald Way, UK, with luggage transfer & accommodation organised with Mickledore. Although less walked, very nice walk, recommended. Nature & history combined.

Walking the St Oswald Way, UK, with luggage transfer & accommodation organised with Mickledore. Good communication & documentation, including places to eat & other relevant travel information. Worryfree.

I'm pleased to hear that you had a good walk on St Oswald's Way. As you said, it is one of the less well known paths but just as beautiful as the more popular options with a good mix of scenery - coastal walking, moorland, geology and nature. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you will be back again soon.

Lady Annes Way by old goat, 30 Jul 2016
Holiday Rating:

Terrific value.

Lady Anne's Way - 100 miles from Skipton to Penrith - walked in 6 days, with accommodation arranged before and after; 8 nights in total. Most interesting walk, lovely views when the weather allowed; super high-level sections with birds and quiet solitude. Some problems with nettles - a seasonal nuisance of course. And flood damage last winter made one stretch rather awkward to negotiate; this will be put right in due course.

Mickledore arranged accommodation for 8 nights and baggage transfers throughout the walk. Excellent service throughout. Many thanks.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed this lovely walk. Flood damage has been a challenge on many paths this year but I'm pleased to say that things are almost back to normal now with only a few small diversions remaining thanks to the hard work of those who maintain the routes. I do hope that you will be back soon to arrange your next adventure.

Rewarding!

West Highland Way walking holiday 96 miles in 7 days. 2 couples long time walking buddies. Starting on the northern outskirts of Glasgow the walk very quickly enters the beautiful highland region with spectacular sceenary. It's fairly strenuous but has a generous payback. Weather for us was surprisingly good Midgies only a pain when you stop.Excellent night sop accommodation mostly in B&B's, good food and friendly welcomes. Meet lots of people ...

Meet lots of people from Europe and USA all engaged in the shared experience. Mickledore have been brilliant from start to finish and I would have mo hesitation in recommending them.

Trees and mountains

We spent a good week in Scotland in July. The walking was not too difficult and all our accommodation was superb.
