We loved our Coast to Coast holiday organized by Mickledore!

Our Coast to Coast hiking holiday, completed Sept. 28, 2017, was an adventure of a lifetime! We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our vacation. The scenery was spectacular, the accommodations fabulous, the weather was nearly perfect, the beer and meals delicious, and every detail was perfectly prearranged through Mickledore. We would highly recommend this hike to anyone and certainly strongly encourage those thinking of tackling this hike ...

We recently completed our second Coast to Coast adventure utilizing Mickledore to make all the arrangements for luggage transport, lodging and pack lunches for our entire holiday. Every detail of our 17 days trekking across England was meticulously arranged for through Mickledore. We found the B&B’s to be convenient, first-class establishments, hosted by friendly, caring owners who catered to our every need. We will certainly be returning to complete other hikes in England and will most assuredly be working with Mickledore to make sure our holiday is as successful as this one was.

Challenging but worthwhile waking holiday

To the team at Mickledore, Please can I thank you all for the amazing walking Holiday that Mr Harrison and I had on the C2C walk Firstly the information pack that we received prior to the start date of the 5th July was very comprehensive, with everything anyone should need before, during and after the holiday.

The organisation of this trip far outweighed our expectations, all of the accommodations were very welcoming , clean , comfortable and helpful from the minute we arrived to the time we set off on our next day's walk Reasons for downgrades is not due to any concerns we had it's is just that the high standards of some of the B&B's Frith Lodge & Langstrath Arms were of a particularly high standard The Pack ups were very good from all of the places that we stopped at and the meals very good and a lot of thought gone into what walkers required with plenty of choice , nutritious & reasonably priced. Our Luggage was collected every morning and on arrival at our destination was left in a safe location

We had no reason to have any complaints about anything during our 11 days walking and stopping at reservations made by Mickledore All you need to do is be prepared for a challenge walk, turn up and start walking from the west Coast to the east coast and enjoy the experience Excellent service from the team at Mickledore

We put a lot of effort into finding the best accommodations and it's great that you found them to be so welcoming and helpful during your walk. When you stay somewhere that you find exceptional it can really stand out and it's lovely that two of our accommodations were exceptional for you. Thanks for your great review.

A great experience walking Wainwright's Coast to Coast.

If you're into long distance walking, then this is for you. Varied terrain from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay. From the Lake District, through the Yorkshire Dales over to the North York Moors, this is a great experience and very satisfying, especially when you finish!

Mickledore Holidays can't be recommended enough. They bent over backwards to make sure that I could stay in the same accommodation as my walking pals, even though I booked after them. They kept me informed of any changes and provided a good information pack.

We are pleased to hear that you had a great time with your friend on this walk and we were happy that we were able to accommodate you along with them to make this trip the best it could be for you.
I hope that you will try another of our routes in the future.

Fantastic time on the English Coast to Coast

We spent 3 weeks on the Coast to Coast path. Our trip was very well organised by Mickledore. They booked us into excellent b&b's, so all we had to do was walk and relax!

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore provides the customer with very clear information about the things that they arrange. It's very pleasant that you can decide for yourself what you want to have arranged (only accommodation or more, such as packed lunches and luggage transfers). We were able to contact them at all times and they did an excellent job in finding the most fantastic places to stay.

Excellent experience

Walking the coast to coast was on our bucket-list for a while. Now after walking the long hike, we have seen a lot of England, spoken to many people, tasted the local atmosphere and enjoyed the scenery. We slept in B&B's organised by Mickledore and they gave us the needed attention, rest, shower and good food.

Mickledore did a very good job organising the trip. The information given on forehand was so easy that preparing the walk didn't take a lot of time anymore. The communication was on the spot and within the hour making adjusting of the program no trouble at all. The provided all the service we expected and needed. Excellent job.

The only thing you have to do is walk

My husband and I have walked the C2C in May. We had a perfectly organized coast-to-coast holiday. We have greatly enjoyed the walk, as well as the variety of places where we stayed during the walks. We started in St Bees and had a rest day after 10 days of walking in Richmond at the Old Brewery. After the rest day we had another 6 days of walking. Mickledore had arranged a taxi on the last day to pick us up at Robin Hoods Bay, and took us back ...

We started in St Bees and had a rest day after 10 days of walking in Richmond at the Old Brewery. After the rest day we had another 6 days of walking. Mickledore had arranged a taxi on the last day to pick us up at Robin Hoods Bay, and took us back to Richmond were Mickledore had arranged a parking place for our car during the holiday. Admittedly, the walk was very challenging at some parts of the Lake District, because, The Netherlands doesn’t really do hills let alone fells, which makes practicing for us quite difficult. But once we were on the top, the view was spectacular (when it wasn't foggy) Overall we had a well organized holiday!

Rating for tour operator:

My husband and I have walked the C2C in May. Mickledore arranged all our accommodation, packed lunches on the walking days, and some of the dinner reservations (if there was only one restaurant in the village). They also arranged for our luggage to be transferred each day. They helped us with the transport to St Bees (from Richmond) and at the last day from Robin Hoods Bay back to the car at Richmond. After booking and planning where to stay on our rest day. Mickledore send a package filled with papers: Luggage tags, discount coupon for some shops, directions to our accommodation, diversions on the route, places to eat every evening, who to call, etc. And two waterproof maps and a book of the route. The only thing you had to do each day was getting your backpack and walk. We’ve now done not only C2C, but also Speyside, Great Glenn Way and Hadrian’s Wall, via Mickledore. And it was always perfectly arranged!

Thank you for taking the time to give your thorough feedback, I'm so pleased to hear that all the arrangements went according to plan once again and you had such a good time. Although you have walked many times with us I hope we still have lots more routes that may interest you in the future.

Walking 5 days of C2C starting in S Bees.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore provided the support for our 5 days of C2C. They exceeded our expectations. The pack of information that arrived prior to our departure was faultless; maps, details of how to find our B&B each night, taxi numbers etc. They replied promptly to our queries and we would have no hesitation in using them again for the next leg.

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 21 Jun 2017:

Its great to hear that your first part of the Coast to Coast was successful and you found your holiday pack useful. We do put a lot of effort into making sure you have everything you need without having too much to carry. We look forward to arranging the next leg for you!
