Great experience in the Lake District

We walked the Cumbria Way. Beautiful landscape for a long distance walk. The accomodations were perfectly arranged, friendly people to welcome us and every morning a tasteful English breakfast!

This was our eight trip with Mickledore. They keep surprising us. Every trip is perfectly organized. We always stay in very nice accomodations with friendly staff. We were never disappointed. Even the weather was excellent this trip 😄

Extremely well organised walking holiday through the Lake District

We walked the Cumbria Way in five days with six nights accommodation with Mickledore who we have used many times before. The booking was all handled very well and the accommodation we stayed in was good to excellent. There were plenty of choices for meals out along the route and on the one occasion there wasnt the company pre booked us into a restaurant in advance. The route was reasonably wellmarked but the company provided a detailed booklet ...

We walked the Cumbria Way in five days with six nights accommodation with Mickledore who we have used many times before. The booking was all handled very well and the accommodation we stayed in was good to excellent. There were plenty of choices for meals out along the route and on the one occasion there wasnt the company pre booked us into a restaurant in advance. The route was reasonably wellmarked but the company provided a detailed booklet and OS map of the walk which was through spectacular scenery. The walk was challenging in one or two places but overall anyone of reasonable fitness could complete it in 7 days. We would certainly recommend the walk to anyone considering a first visit to The Lakes

Rating for tour operator:

We have used Mickledore for our walking holidays for over ten years and completed seven planned walks.Their organisation and attention to detail is excellent. They personally checkout each route and the accommodation they recommend and book. Their customer follow up surveys maintain a high standard throughout their packages.Their walks are graded at various levels and over a choice of days depending on experience and fitness levels.Information,maps and accommodation details are provided well in advance so they can be checked out but we have always found their choices to be good. They also listen and ACT on customer feedback, which is refreshing We'd certainly recommend Mickledore to anyone considering a walking holiday throughout the UK

Blissful blister free me time

A well organised a perfect 3 day trek based on the Cumbria Way. 5 out of 5 for the choice of B&B accommodation. The Sherpa service to transfer luggage was well organised, and the route notes for the daily walks well selected. I was walking solo, so reassuring to know someone new where I should be, and there if I needed some support.

Exhilarating walking in the beautiful lake district

Our walk took us across a variety of countryside from rolling hills and across farmland, alongside the beautiful lakes and through the dramatic peaks. We stayed in some lovely bed and breakfasts on route and enjoyed a welcome at each place we visited.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickeldore provided an excellent service. Our initial booking was well managed and we were provided with helpful advice and support. The resources to help us through our walk were comprehensive, particularly the route book which gave us various options. The accommodation which had been chosen for us was welcoming and the way in which our luggage was transported was very efficient. Mickeldore is certainly a company we would use again.
