Dales Way Traveller Reviews

Lovely holiday - bed and breakfast venues were located in beautiful surroundings and a good standard of accommodation. The walks were delightful, despite the wet weather. I would certainly book another holiday in the future.

Very good. Helpful and timely.

We walked the 80+ miles of the Dales Way, our first long distance trail, over the summer solstice and mainly in sunshine. The scenery was lovely, the B&B's welcoming and comfortable and we met friendly fellow walkers along the way who cheered us on our arrival at the pub at the end.

We liked not having to book the accommodation and transfers ourselves and felt safe leaving the arrangements to Mickledore as they had come with very good recommendations from other walkers. Mickledore took into account the distance we had requested to walk each day and the grade of accommodation we had chosen. Once we had paid the balance of our holiday and received their final planning there was nothing to worry about except our fitness to walk the distance.

We had a fantastic time waking the eighty one miles of the Dalesway, staying at accommodation organised by Mickledore, and with daily luggage transfer. Everything worked to plan, the accommodation was consistently good, and the walk itself is very pretty. The directions provided by Mickledore were all spot on.

I would thoroughly recommend Micledore and would definitely use them again .

A group of 6 of us have just walked the Dales Way on a holiday organised by Mickledore. We walked from Ilkley to Windermere over the course a week, through hay meadows full of early summer flowers in Upper Wharfedale and on to the edge of the Lake District, often staying in country inns with good food and a choice of real ales.

Mickledore booked splendid accommodation for each night, arranged luggage transfers, and provided an excellent information pack. Their staff were friendly and helpful, and easy to contact via phone and email.

We walked the Dales Way, from Ilkley to Bowness on Windermere, over a period of 7 days. The route and the scenery were wonderful, and we stayed in some terrific B&Bs - which had been selected by our tour operator. Our luggage was transported for us each day, leaving us free to enjoy our holiday with only a day-sack to carry.

Mickledore made all the arrangements including B&Bs, luggage transfers and a taxi transfer where necessary. It all worked seamlessly. They provided excellent route instructions and detailed maps. All contact we had with them was professional and effective. We would use them again without hesitation.

The entire walk was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. There was wonderful varied scenery virtually every mile of the way. We met interesting people - walkers and locals - and enjoyed good food. The accommodation overall was excellent. Pity the latter half of the walk was marred by rain. Thoroughly recommended.

This was my 6th walking holiday arranged by Mickledore. As ever,they provide a first class, prompt service. Pleased to see that they have recently added a further 2 walking holidays to their list.

Walked the dales with friends all aspects organised by mickledore to a very high standard

Knowledgeable and very helpful and very efficient in dealing with any queries we had

A three day walking holiday in the Yorkshire Dales orgainsied by Mickledore. All of the fun of walking with good information supported by luggage transfers and all the bookings needed. Great information and maps, lovely accomodation. All we had to do was enjoy the walking.

Great web site, lots of choice, very speedy and pertinent responses. Would use them again and happy to recommend them.

I walked the Dales Way and by using Mickledore Travel to arrange the overnight accommodation and baggage transfer enabled me to fully enjoy the walk which i did. I had holidayed on the Yorkshire coast before but never in the dales. The walk took me through the Dales and into Cumbria. Fantastic scenery and very hospitable people all the way.

I went into the Mickledore Travel office in Keswick when i was on holiday there and had a chat to Tara about walking the Dales Way. She was very knowledgeable as were all the staff i spoke to. After booking the holiday and a few weeks before i was due to start my walk i was sent a pack with all the info, maps etc to guide me along the way. Very professional and friendly people. Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic holiday walking the Dales Way and experiencing such stunning and varied scenery. Lots of great holiday memories that will never leave us.

Mickledore provided excellent service from start to finish. It was a pleasure dealing with you. The accommodation was varied and well selected, the information and maps, etc were detailed and very useful. The quality of service does justify the cost. Thank you Mickledore for a great holiday.
