Dales Way by John Duncan, 26 Jun 2017

A wonderful walk

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.

Walking the Dales Way

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.

Couldn't have wished for more.

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.

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.
