Dales Way Traveller Reviews

I walked the Dales High Way over eight days from Saltaire to Aplleyby-in-Westmorland.

I’ve used Mickledore many times over the years and have always been totally satisfied with the service that they provide, from booking quality B&B’s, providing maps, luggage transfers and even packed lunches if you require them.

We walked the Dales Way from Ilkley to Bowness on Windermere in 8 days.

This was our second walking holiday with Mickledore and was equally as good as the first. Fantastic accomodation and faultless planning made for a smooth, well organised holiday. We currently planning the next one!!

We had a very nice holiday. The views were beautiful, especially halfway The Dales Way. In Grassington we stayed in the Drovers Arms (The Devonshire), known from the series 'All creatures great and small'. When we got home we watched the series again. We recognized many places, for example Helen's farm.

This was our fourth holiday with Mickledore. As always everything was organised very well.

We walked the Dales Way, a beautiful long distance walk in The Yorkshire Dales

Mickledore took care of our accomodation and luggage transport. They provide an excellent and very helpful holiday pack. The booked B&B's were of very good quality. Mickledore is a very relieable partner, with great service. We booked several walkingholidays with them and we do hope to do so in the future.

My husband and I walked from Ilkley to Bowness. Eight days of glorious walking through beautiful scenery. Peaceful and relaxing.

Mickledore set up our accommodation (excellent choices!) and our luggage transfers. The planning was smooth, and the execution was perfect.

We walked part of The Dales High way .

Clear helpful information operator very helpful.

The Dales Way walk is a must. Wonderful scenery from start to finish.

Mickledore organised all aspects of our walk, giving us the freedom to enjoy it fully without any stress.

Very enjoyable. Well organised and documented with ful walking instructions.

First time we had used Mickledore (we had done the walk 25 years ago but arranged it all ourselves and carried all our stuff) We thought that ,since the pandemic, booking accommodation might be difficult but that Mickledore would have a keen interest in using its connections. They obviously had kept or made some good ones.

We walked the Dalesway over six days from Ilkley to Bowness. Great hosts and locations for all our overnight stops. Plenty of good food and filling packed lunches along the way. Woke up 2 mornings to horizontal rain but it added to the experience (especially over Blea Moor!) and had cleared by lunchtime.

Nothing was too much trouble for Mickledore from initial enquiry to organisation of our final itinerary. E-mails were promptly answered and any questions resolved. A great all-round experience.

This year we walked the Dales Way which started in Ilkley and ended in Bowness on Windermere. We walked an average of 12 miles a day although some days were longer as we ventured into some lovely villages or sites of special interest. We chose May as the ideal time to visit this part of the country because the woods were full of bluebells and wold garlic and the fields were bursting with young lambs and calves. The accommodation was very varied and ranged from hotels to inns and B &B's and their locations ideal for the walk. Always great to have a hot shower and meal after a days walk!

We have used Mickledore for our long walking holidays since 2015 and they are absolutely first class! Their website is very easy to navigate and offers a wide range of walks and support to suit everyone's needs and interests. One booked they send you an information pack full of information to guide you through the walk, where to eat and all the local amenities and attractions. They organise the accommodation which is always first class and can arrange your luggage to be transported to the next accommodation so you only have to carry your essentials. The cost are very reasonable for the level of service received and we are already planning next year's walk!
