MIckledore arranged the places where we stayed, provided books and guidelines for the hike itself and picked up our bags each morning and transferred them to the next B & B.

Fabulous coast to coast walking holiday, six days of delightful walks and really excellent luggage transfer and B&B

We did the first half (nearly) of the coast to coast walk, three of us set out knowing that the first few days were very demanding yet by day 2 the desire to get to the end of the days walk was enhanced by the interest in seeing what tonight's B and B was like. They were varied, interesting and of a good standard. It was great to see the luggage get there effortlessly when we had got there with considerable effort! Map and guidebooks did the ...

We did the first half (nearly) of the coast to coast walk, three of us set out knowing that the first few days were very demanding yet by day 2 the desire to get to the end of the days walk was enhanced by the interest in seeing what tonight's B and B was like. They were varied, interesting and of a good standard. It was great to see the luggage get there effortlessly when we had got there with considerable effort! Map and guidebooks did the job, and left just enough for us to do to give a sense of achievement in our map reading skills. We were able to enjoy this outstanding walking country knowing all the details were being managed for us.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore. This company is clearly well respected by the B and B owners, and since they deal with these people regularly that indicates that the customer service we received was not a one off but shows consistent professionalism and enthusiasm for their business.

First time, but definately not the last

It was my first time traveling with Mickledore Walking Holidays, and I must admit I was a little anxious when booking. Not because of anything relating to the organization, but rather about traveling alone. I love walking and am comfortable in my own company, but was I going to be lonely? lost? perhaps lost in translation?. The truth is, traveling alone has been an eye-opener for me and I found that you're never really alone when you travel alone...

The truth is, traveling alone has been an eye-opener for me and I found that you're never really alone when you travel alone. All the friendly people I've met on the way, from the local people to fellow travelers, have truly made the experience for me. That, combined with the excellent organization of the trip by Mickledore ensured I never felt lost. Logistics were taken care of beyond expectation, so I was free to enjoy the experience. I will definately be back for more!

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore Walking Holidays goes above and beyond to make sure your trip runs smoothly. All the logistics are taken care of for one, but more importantly their travel tips make you feel like traveling with a local. Excellent!

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 26 Sep 2016:

Its great to hear that you had such a successful trip walking the Coast to Coast solo and I agree that you are never truly alone on a long distance route such as this. The other walkers and the local people will make sure of that and we are just at the end of the phone if you need us.
I hope that this has given you an appetite for more solo walks in the UK and we look forward to organising more walks for you !

Great planning and organisation

This was a walking holiday on the coast to coast route from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay. This involved staying in a different hotel or B&B every night and transporting my suitcase from place to place as well. The walk was a fantastic experience and I loved every minute. In retrospect, I would make some minor changes, but I am already considering doing it again.

I used Mickledore Travel to book a 17 day walking holiday. They booked my overnight stops, organised my suitcase to magically appear at the right place every night and arranged for packed lunches to be provided. Everything worked perfectly, there were no hitches at all. The value of using Mickledore was illustrated when one hotel unexpectedly closed down, after accepting my booking. Mickledore acted quickly to find an alternative, making this a non-issue for me.

Booked my coast to coast walk through Mickledore travel. It was important to me that I had characterful accommodation of a high standard on the route and Mickledore didn't disappoint. The logistics worked seemlessly and the pack of walk information was easy to follow and helpful. Definately will be using them again and would recommend to anyone. Price was competitive too.

We do our best to pick great accommodation with helpful and friendly hosts and I'm happy to hear that you were pleased with your B&Bs. I hope that we can arrange another walk for you soon.

Excellent arrangements and timely service by Mickeldore. Both the Coast to Coast and West Highland Way walks were outstanding.

We loved the B&B's Mickeldore selected; the proprietors almost all were extremely friendly and professional. All the B&B's were spotless and clean. And of course, these two walks are through some of the world's most scenic areas.

This was our second booking with Mickeldore. We have booked the Coast to Coast Trail and now West Highland Way. The lodgings, especially B&B's, are top notch. Mickeldore has answered our questiones timely and provided excellent advice and recommendations. We would not hesitate to use them again on any walking holidays in the UK.
