Dales Way Traveller Reviews

We walked The Dales Way and accommodation, route and luggage transfer was organised by Mickledore.

The holiday was well organised and Mickledore were easy to deal with. The recommendations of places to eat was particularly helpful and all the information they gave us was useful.

Our second fantastic walking holiday with Mickledore, our first being the Coast to Coast in 2019. Everything including accommodation, baggage transfer and packed lunches ran like clockwork. Accommodation was to a high standard, you could not find fault with any. Mickledore took the pain out of planning a walking holiday ourselves. They are always polite, efficient and professional when communicating, either by e/mail or a direct phone call. A professional operator well on top of their game. If you are wavering regards booking a holiday with Mickledore then don’t book straight away, you won’t be disappointed.

Mickledore are polite, friendly and professional when communicating. I particular like the way they are so helpful on the phone. Quick to help and answer any questions, and will go out of their way to ensure you have a fantastic walking holiday. Our holiday pack of guide book and map etc., complimented by a very good app were more than sufficient. We will be sure to use them again..

We were recommended Mickledore by a family friend and I am so glad we trusted them as it was brilliantly organised from start to finish. They were so helpful and professional, especially during these difficult days of Covid when things can change from one day to the next.

They were really organised and replied to emails very quickly and nothing was too much trouble. Very friendly too.

We walked the Dales Way from Ilkley to Bowness on Windemere over seven days. This was all arranged through Mickledore who booked all our overnight accommodation, provided luggage transit between accommodation sites and ensured we had packed lunches provided each day. Nothing let us down so we could concentrate on the walking and taking in the sites.

We have now used Mickledore on two occasions for our walking holidays. On both occasions every thing was meticulously and went to plan. Even the accommodation sites we stayed at were very positive about Mickledore.

My friend Tom and myself walked the Dales Way and it was a most enjoyable experience , helped by the excellent accommodation and efficient baggage transfer provided by the Company.. At all the places we stayed, the breakfasts and packed lunches provided were both of good quality and a fair choice.

Mickledore Door Travel , an organisation that we have used twice and on both occasions provided an excellent service.

Walking The Dales Way was an amazing experience. Wonderful countryside, something special. Went astray a few times but got there in the end.

Perfect in every way - highly recommend.

My wife, daughter and myself booked with Mickledore to walk the Dales Way. The whole experience was excellent. Mickledore provided everything we could have possibly needed, e.g. maps, overnight accomodation, places of interest on route, places to eat, luggage awaited us on arrival every day. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

This was the 4th holiday we have booked with Mickledore and we have been happy each time with their organisational skills. we wouldn't dream of using anyone else.

I walked the Dales Way solo in late May 2019. The weather was far from perfect which just made the experience more exciting in that I had to work with the rain and cold at times and felt all the more justified in enjoying cream tea, heroic for making my goal each day, and superbly rewarded by a hot bath at the end of the days where such a thing was available. It was a top journey that I won't forget. More remote and exciting than I had imagined. Highly recommend the route and Mickledore.

Mickledore was friendly and helpful from beginning to end. Website is well organized and easy to navigate and understand. They were flexible and helped with questions I know were out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend them.

We are two senior Aussies whose vision of a Yorkshire idyll was fulfilled by this walk through woodland and across moors. Drifts of bluebells and buttercups, pungent fragrance of wild garlic, fat lambs and green as far as the eye could see. Not to mention cosy pubs and hearty Yorkshire food.

Mickledore made the experience personal with individual itineraries and attention to detail to meet our requirements. They set a clear standard for accommodation and provided us with comprehensive information and maps. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive and helpful.

A perfect weeks adventure walking the Dales Way. Wonderful scenery and welcoming hospitality, all without leaving the trail.

Professionally organised trip, and Mickledore obviously have a great working relationship with the BnB’s on route.
