Rating for tour operator:

It's really important on this sort of holiday that you have great places to stay. Mickledore achieved that. A range of different accommodation but all of them good. Highly recommended.

We put a lot of effort into sourcing great accommodation so its good to hear that you enjoyed what we arranged. We hope to hear from you again when you are ready for your next walk.

Superb walk along Hadrian's Wall

Very well organised with excellent accommodation throughout. Comprehensive walking notes ensured we got the most out of what must be one of the most fascinating and underrated active holidays in Britain

So well organised that we had no occasion to contact them for advice or help. Will use Mikledore again.

We are pleased to hear that everything ran like clockwork leaving you with no need to contact us. Although we love to talk to our customers I'm glad that you didn't have to think about us while you were enjoying the walk. It really is a fascinating route. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and we look forward to arranging another walk for you in the future.

The Company was well organized and responsive (even at short notice) to my questions and requests. They supplied me with useful and good quality maps and guides. The overnight accommodation which they selected for me was a very high standard, and I was very pleased overall.

We walked the Hadrian Wall in september 2016. Everything was very well organised. Accomodation, Luggage transfer , taxi's and even the weather! All our hosts were very hospitable and frienly and the B&B's really interesting and lovely. The food in the pubs and B&B's were from normalgood to excellent.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore arranged our self-guided walking holiday along Hadrian's Wall. From the start I was impressed with their responsiveness to my communications; always prompt and informative. The arrangements were made very efficiently, the information sent to me through the post was comprehensive and the accommodation enroute was of a really good standard. They also arranged for our luggage to be transported to the next accommodation every day which occurred without any problems at all. They also arranged our car parking in Newcastle and the return transport back there at the end of the walk. All went without a hitch. Many thanks to Mickledore; I would highly recommend this company.

Say when and where and a cracker of an holiday will be there with Mickledore

We recently mustered with Mickledore for the fourth time and cannot but say it was a fourth consecutive hit. Years ago we did the C2C from St.Bees to Robin Hood's Bay spread over two holidays, last year we ran down the South Downs and this year we did another C2C from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend. Apart from one day of rain in the Lake District we enjoyed every walking mile in sunny and clement weather (British rarity) enshrining in our hearts ...

Years ago we did the C2C from St.Bees to Robin Hood's Bay spread over two holidays, last year we ran down the South Downs and this year we did another C2C from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend. Apart from one day of rain in the Lake District we enjoyed every walking mile in sunny and clement weather (British rarity) enshrining in our hearts the panoramic views, lovely towns and villages, the encounters with people from all corners of the world ,the superb and sometimes exclusive lodgings and their brilliant tenants, in short experiences never to be forgotten. Thanks Mickledore

Rating for tour operator:

Notwithstanding the fact that the walks as we did them have , over decades, been trotted down by thousands of hikers and described in tens of guides, in our humble opinion we feel that Mickledore added just that extra dimension to it by giving special attention to lodgings and typical places along the way to mark the walks as extraordinary.

Mickledore Travel responded to this review on 04 Oct 2016:

Its great to receive such good feedback and we are happy that once again you had a fabulous walk with us. We do our best to find you great accommodation with friendly and helpful hosts so its good to hear that you enjoyed all of these. We hope you will be back soon for your fourth holiday.

We walked the central section of Hadrians wall . This was our first long range walking holiday and we found everything worked perfectly . It has only wetted our appetites for another walking holiday and we will certainly use Mickledore again .

Hadrian's Wall charity walk

I spent ten days walking the Path with a friend, staying in b and b's each evening. The inflation,provided was outstanding and enabled us to find the Path even when there was no one else around and the path wasn't clear to see on the ground. Each B and B was unique but, almost without exception, they were outstanding in terms of welcome, standard of rooms and the quality/quantity of breakfast and packed lunch.

Mickledore were everything I hoped for and more. The planning, Communication., attention to detail were second to. One and meant that we did not have to worry about a thing. When I fell ill they were superb, contacting B and B owners and rearranging transport with Hadrian's Haul. Even when I phoned on a Sunday morning. The response was courteous, prompt and efficient.

I'm pleased to hear that you had a great time despite becoming ill and I'm happy that I could help you on a Sunday. We are contactable at all times during your walk so you always have help if it is needed. I hope you are feeling better now and we hope to be able to organise another walk for you when you are ready to choose your next trip.

Before and after my trip, Mickledore was exceptional with responsive, helpful staff. The accommodations were excellent; the detailed itinerary provided every detail a traveller could need. I can't recommend Mickledore too highly.
