Coast to coast walk

Very good, we loved the places we stayed and the walk was very nice. We will go back to England for an other walk.

Everything was goed arranged. If we go back it is with Mickeldore again, it was fine we could book the holiday in our language wat makes its easier to understand.

Our wonderful Coast to Coast walk

We walked Wainwright's coast to coast 192 miles in June. The weather was exceedingly kind to us with sunshine and dry days throughout. The scenery was stunning and exceeded our expectations. We particularly loved Swaledale. I must have taken over 1000 photos along the way.

Mickledore delivered a superbly organised walking holiday. Everything ran to perfection, from the Sherpa van transport of our bags, and our drop off in St Bees to start the walk and pick up in Robin hood's Bay.Parking our car in the Sherpa van compound worked really well for us too. All the B&Bs were of a very high standard and many had baths! Mickledore listened to what we wanted in terms of mileage each day and devised an excellent itinerary. This was our second experience of the company and we will definitely book with them again.

The experience of a lifetime

Two weeks walking Coast to Coast from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay was the best experience and a real challenge. I loved how our fitness levels improved day by day. The camaraderie of fellow walkers and the welcome from our overnight hosts at accommodation along the way made it special too. Everything to make our day easy was organised - starting with a hearty breakfast and to get us on our way packed lunches. Drying rooms to sort out our wet ...

Two weeks walking Coast to Coast from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay was the best experience and a real challenge. I loved how our fitness levels improved day by day. The camaraderie of fellow walkers and the welcome from our overnight hosts at accommodation along the way made it special too. Everything to make our day easy was organised - starting with a hearty breakfast and to get us on our way packed lunches. Drying rooms to sort out our wet gear and comfortable ensuite rooms, meant that we could relax and enjoy our route planning, all the details were taken care of. Luggage always got to where it was meant to be and on time. Mickledore picked some great B&B's and small Inns, which would have meant a lot of research if I tried to find similar myself. When I needed to call the office someone was there to help. Loved every minute of the holiday even the rain and sore feet!

Coast to Coast

Walking the C2C with baggage transfer. had a great time meeting lots of people on the way. As we kept criss - crossing each other friendships were made and these made the walk more enjoyable. Although we had a couple of days with rain following Storm Hector we were lucky in the weather became warmer and sunnier as we reached the halfway point. Then as everyone else in the UK we had wall to wall sunshine and good weather making the views even better...

Walking the C2C with baggage transfer. had a great time meeting lots of people on the way. As we kept criss - crossing each other friendships were made and these made the walk more enjoyable. Although we had a couple of days with rain following Storm Hector we were lucky in the weather became warmer and sunnier as we reached the halfway point. Then as everyone else in the UK we had wall to wall sunshine and good weather making the views even better. The welcome sight of Robin Hoods and the finish after 200 miles was greeted with a welcome pint or 2 in the Bay Horse. After the customary dipping of the feet and dropping the pebble in the sea. Memorable all the way.

Mickledore booked all our accommodation and baggage transfers. All the B & B's were good to excellent and everything went smoothly. They had Some great stopovers and lovely landladies etc. too many to single out. Would certainly use them again.

Excellent from the outset, from the date of booking, to overnight stays and the information pack, maps and complimentary Stedman edition of the walk. Their chosen accommodation was comfortable, clean and contained all that we needed. The listings of eateries, atm's and taxi firms if needed is good. I am looking forward to using this company for when I book my next walking holiday.

Very pleased. Good organisation and communication. 80% of the B&Bs were good or excellent. One had a medical emergency on the day and two were a bit tired looking - but overall very good/excellent.

A perfect Coast to Coast walk arranged by Mickledore Travel

My husband & I had a lovely 15 day walk across England on the Coast to Coast route. Lodging, bag transport, and lunches were expertly arranged by Mickledore Travel. After a "full English" breakfast provided by our lovely B&B hosts, we set out across England. We traversing three stunning National Parks (Lake District, Yorkshire Dale and the North York Moors). The diversity of the scenery and villages was wonderful. We have done many long walks ...

Mickledore Travel expertly arranged our lodging, bag transport, and lunches on the Coast to Coast walk in England. Their pre-trip package contained everything we need to know before and during our adventure. The quality of the B&B and inns booked were outstanding! Each one unique, friendly, clean, convenient and thoroughly enjoyable at the end of a long day of walking. On our flight to England one bag was misplaced by the airlines. Mickledore handled the logistics with the airlines and made sure our bag was delivered en route to us.
