Well planned holiday

Our walking group is at the upper end of the spectrum, and we wanted to walk the Cumbria Way, but needed to make one long day into a two day affair Mickledore were soon on the case and had it sorted.We had a great time the accommodation was good in different types of establishment,and the information they gave us could not be faulted.You will not go wrong if you book with this company

excellent

This was our first walking tour and Mickledore were THE best company to deal with in every way. They were efficient in their communication, professional in all their dealings with us and clearly know their product. The maps, tour information covering accommodation and specifics for each day and the book for the Hadrian's Wall walk were integral to the success of our wonderful holiday!

The Great Glen Way - A beautiful way to see Scotland

A beautiful walk among some of the most dramatic scenery in Scotland. The route is well signposted and it would be difficult to get lost even if you tried. The trail is well maintained though some may feel that there are too many miles of "hardcore" paths and not enough natural footpaths.The standard of accommodation along the route was excellent and the baggage transfer was as smooth as always. Saw my first slow worm!

Wonderful, Beautiful, Splendid Cotswold way Trek in 2016

The Cotswold Way Trek is an amazing experience. Mickledore makes it all possible and so easy by taking care of B&B reservations and moving luggage and recommending local restaurants for evening dinners. Central England has to be one of the most beautiful parts of the world, and Mickledore makes it so easy to enjoy and experience.

Mickledore is fantastic! They are very professional, responsive, and quick to reply to email inquiries. Best of all, when you call them on the phone, you get a live person that answers the phone. That is a rare phenomenon in this world of automated answering machines. Mickledore provides excellent service all around. Their reservation process is simple and flexible. They give you plenty of time to pay in advance. I love how they take all of the guess work out of the travelling process. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the beautiful countryside. I was very pleased with Mickledore service and will book with them again next year.

Thank you Glen for your excellent feedback. The Cotswold Way really does take you through some beautiful countryside. It is nice to hear that you were pleased with the personal service that you received from Mickledore. We look forward to hearing from you again when you are ready to book your walk for next year!

fantastic well planned holiday

My daughter and I walked the West Highland Way from 21st to 27th May 2016. We had the most wonderful trip with sunshine all the way except for the first two days which were showery.The scenery on this walk is spectacular and for us, it was great to see the trip from Glasgow to Fort William from another perspective - we spend 2weeks every year in Fort William walking the hills. To anyone thinking of the Way for a trip I would recommend it highly ...

Rating for tour operator:

My daughter and I wanted a trouble free holiday and Mickledore certainly filled the bill on that score. They arranged all our accommodation, lunches, bar the first day, and also arranged for our luggage to be transferred ahead each day.They also booked accommodation in Milngavie for the night before we started on the Way. From the time of booking to the end of our trip everything went like clockwork. If we had any queries ,our e-mails were replied to promptly. We were given a map and book of the route , clear directions to our accommodation, places to eat every evening and much more. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mickledore to anyone - in fact I have booked another trip with them for next year.

Mickledore transport our heavy bags safely from one B & B to another, save's us carrying a lot of heavy Toilotiries, and change of clothing. They provide Maps, of local area, details on how to find your Accomodation. Places to eat. Labels for your luggage. And 15 % of casual clothing in Cotswold stores.

We spent 7 days walking Hadrains wall. It was a real challenge but it was great fun as we met lots of people doing the same.

Mickledore is an excellent tour operator, the listened to our specific requirements and fulfilled all of them. The organisation of the whole trip provided us with peace of mind and left us just able to enjoy ourselves. All accommodation was of a good standard, some excellent and totally unexpected.

Advance Planning and Materials took all the worry out of our holiday

Mickledore was spot on with everything-one exception was a sub-par B&B. They even got us 3 days of sun out of six for our walk in mid May. A miracle.

Pembrokeshire's beautiful coastline

We really enjoyed our trip to the Pembrokeshire Coast. Mickledore did a very good job of finding high quality accommodation and the luggage transfer was very well organised. Overall we had a fantastic week's walking.
