Cotswold Way Traveller Reviews

The stars aligned to give us a most perfect holiday. Mickledore's planned for us a remarkable holiday. While we walked the beautiful countryside (which was in full bloom when we walked), we didn't have to worry that our bags would be at the next B&B when we arrived and that we would have a cozy bed and a warm meal. We had a wonderful holiday and the memories will last a lifetime.

Mickledore's worked with us during difficult circumstances. Covid shutdowns required our first booking to be cancelled. This was a great disappointment but we were assured our monies were safe because Mickledore is bonded through ABTA. They were responsive in rebooking us and everything went flawlessly. They answered emails quickly and the materials they provide (packet, app, resources, etc) gave us all we needed to have a wonderful trip.

We walked from Chipping Campden to Painswick in seven days in early May 2022. Because we requested a walking holiday with certain distances per day, Mickledore arranged accommodations in locations accordingly. The four B&Bs we stayed at - Cornerways, Chipping Campden; Shenberrow Hill, Stanton; Cleeve Hill House Hotel, Cleeve Hill; and Troy House, Painswick - were lovely and comfortable in all respects. The room at Wesley House in Winchcombe was very small but the staff were so warm and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent. The London Inn in Charlton Kings was acceptable, but not on the same level as the B&Bs - but how could it be? The Royal George George Hotel in Birdlip was the only option; it was satisfactory as a mid-size hotel. We did appreciate the fact that after a ten-mile walk we could enjoy the bar and dining without leaving the premises. And the food was good at both dinner and breakfast.

I used Mickledore a few years ago for my Hadrian's Wall Path holiday. They are organized, professional and leave out no details. Communication throughout the COVID period - postponing, rescheduling, updating - was always reliable and friendly, regardless of who was assigned to my holiday. I highly recommend them.

Cotswold Way walk with ecellent B&B's and well organised bagage transfers

flexible, good communicaties, offers what they promise

Four of us (aged 60 - 70) walked the Cotswold Way in 6 days. It was quite challenging at times, with plenty of hills and long days, but the paths were good underfoot and the weather just about perfect for walking. The views were spectacular. Each night we stayed in a different B&B which were, with one exception, of a high standard. Those in the heart of the Cotswold villages were particularly interesting. A fantastic week for all.

Mickledore was superb. We were sent detailed, comprehensive information prior to our trip, including guide book and map. The B&Bs selected were varied and interesting, mostly of a high standard. Our bags were collected and sent on to our next venue most efficiently. A taxi was provided to take us to one location off the day's route. Overall, we were very impressed with Mickledore and we plan to use them again next year.

100 miles of Cotswold scenery over 6 days. No worries about accommodation or luggage transfer as Mickledore arranged everything. Makes a walking holiday so much easier and more pleasurable

Always at the end of a phone. Good website. Good app to use especially whilst on holiday

We continued our walking holidays in the UK by completing the West Highland Way and the Cottswald Way. The walking was fabulous and we met many people on both walks which made the journey memorable.

Mickledore travel organised all our accommodation and luggage transfers for us. They were fantastic to deal with, always responding to our emails promptly. All we had to do was organise our arrival from Australia and begin walking.

A beautiful nine day walk from Chipping Campden to Bath. Aside from some really, really hot weather, the walk was terrific. We enjoyed very good B&B's and inns and having our luggage transported without complication made the whole trip very relaxing.

This was Mickledore and they did a great job of finding good places to stay and in getting our bags moved from place to place. A completely seamless, effortless experience for us (other than the walking!)

Everything was well planned and organized. We enjoyed the luxurious accomodation and friendly hosts.

I appreciate the friendly and forthcoming attitude when on the phone to Mickledore and the quick response to emails. Shortly after having submitted my views, I received a thank you email, which makes it worth the effort to have filled in the evaluation form.

Well organised and excellent service
