All the arrangements worked

Walking holiday with baggage transfer on the Cleveland Way, we were a party of 2 at the beginning and joined by a third individual for the coastal section, the potential for confusion was high but it all worked very well.

Rating for tour operator:

Very helpful with good advice about things outside their remit. All of the transfers worked well their choice of accommodation was good to splendid. Their information pack was supplied in a timely manner and more comprehensive than any I've seen from other providers.

Perfect! (Cleveland Way)

I walked Cleveland Way and was once again pretty fortunate in the weather that I had, never really more than sprinkles. Everyone I met was cheery and friendly. All my accommodations were excellent and all my bags arrived by the time that I arrived at my next destination (including the Bank Holiday). The terrain varied and the coastal portion was of course incredibly beautiful. England is a beautiful country!

It was my third trip book with Mickledore and each has been great. There was absolutely no issue came up and I had no communication with them on the walk as there was no need. I am already planning on doing a fourth walk with them next year. I always recommend them when anyone asks what company I use. And they were recommended to me by a colleague from work originally. If anything they are two consciousness as they suppled three Ordinance Maps that covered my route and I use All Trails and didn't need the maps, though of course they were nice to review at home before I left.

Another well organised itinerary from Mickledore

We walked the Cleveland Way in May. 110 miles over 11days. Accomodation was varied including village pubs, B&Bs and even a beautiful 4* country house hotel. The route was generally well sign posted and we enjoyed a great contrast in scenery, walking through farmland, woodland and moorland, and then along the beautiful coastal path. Taxi transfers were included where accomodation was too far off route, luggage transfers worked effectively and ...

The route was generally well sign posted and we enjoyed a great contrast in scenery, walking through farmland, woodland and moorland, and then along the beautiful coastal path. Taxi transfers were included where accomodation was too far off route, luggage transfers worked effectively and everything went to plan.

Rating for tour operator:

We love the fact that Mickledore has a great range of long distance walks and plenty of options for slower walkers, such as ourselves, with lower mileage each day. Mickledore are consistently good in their communication with clients and we were impressed that they responded personally to us regarding our feedback on the accomodation in a couple of remote locations where standards were less than ideal - they indicated that they would look at better options in future, even if it involved taxi transfers. Overall, we had a great holiday and feel that Mickledore genuinely have clients' best interests at heart.

Another excellent walking holiday from Mickledore

We completed the Cleveland Way in August this year. What a fantastic walk of two distinct halves with the 1st week up on the North Yorkshire Moors with views over the Vale of Mowbray towards the Pennines and 2nd week down the east coast to Filey with the North Sea and many quaint coastal villages along the way.

Yet again the team at Mickledore put together a brilliant package. We had the usual professional service from start to finish. Our accommodation, luggage transfers, packed lunches and taxi transfers went without a hitch. Only one problem, where next!!!

Great walking holiday in North Yorkshire

We had a great holiday walking the Cleveland Way early in August. We went for the challenging 10 night / 9 day version and I have to admit that we did make one or two alterations to the route. The accommodation was good, especially considering that in some villages the choice was somewhat limited, with the b and bs in Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough being real stand-outs. We were pretty fortunate with the weather, though we did encounter some ...

We had a great holiday walking the Cleveland Way early in August. We went for the challenging 10 night / 9 day version and I have to admit that we did make one or two alterations to the route. The accommodation was good, especially considering that in some villages the choice was somewhat limited, with the b and bs in Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough being real stand-outs. We were pretty fortunate with the weather, though we did encounter some strong winds and (only once) torrential rain. The good people of Yorkshire were very welcoming and often offered to point out the correct direction before we had asked them. We have some great memories and some funny stories to tell.

Rating for tour operator:

Everything was very well organised by Mickledore Travel, who were very quick to respond to requests for clarification and who provided ample documentation. We hope to be able to do another holiday with Mickledore Travel in the very near future.

Everything about the holiday went according to plan including the weather! The Cleveland Way and Best of Hadrian's wall were well marked and easy to navigate. The scenery was so beautiful, especially the Cleveland Way and there was so much to see - everyday we experienced a variety of landscapes and outstanding views!. Hadrian's wall was intact for a good portion of our way! Our accommodations were excellent including the food. The accommodations provided a welcoming resting stop at the end of our day. Our luggage was always there waiting for us to arrive. Breakfasts provided anything we would need. The Host was always welcoming and helpful. Taxis services, when needed were well planned. I want to go on another walking trip with Mickledore. We were so proud of walking the entire Cleveland Way. Our first long distance walk - we had never completed those distances before this walk. Thank you to Mickledore for making that happen!

We were so glad we used Mickledore for our first walking holiday! Mickledore staff helped us with all of our planning questions and logistics. They always responded promptly to our questions. They provided clear communications and lots of information. We were supplied with guide books, maps and an app with the walk information. We would use them again for our next walk. We are from Canada so it was important to find a trusted travel agent to help us sort through all the logistics for a successful walking trip. Thank you Mickledore! We loved the walking journey we took!!

Cleveland Way walking holiday.Well organised trip. Mickledore planned the itinerary with my requests in mind.

Walking from Helmsley to Filey on Cleveland Way. Accomodation was exactly what I needed, where I needed it. Taxi services efficient where needed. Holiday pack contained the right amount of information in clear format. Not too much and not too little

Great walking tour on the Cleveland Way

Mickledore did a terrific job counseling us on which walk would work for our group, sending us all the info we needed (maps, local restaurants, emergency contacts, etc), booking terrific accommodations, and arranging for baggage transfers.
