Hadrian's Wall Traveller Reviews

We had a wonderful four day walking trip along Hadrian's Wall staying at five different B & B's along the way.

Very helpful, well organised, efficient. The information pack was excellent and the service provided was terrific.

Thanks to your organization, our walk went very well. We were even lucky enough to have very little rain & mud. The B&B's were good, with 2 stand-outs: Langleigh Guest House in Carlisle, and Hunter Crook Lodge, in Twice Brewed. They were both exceptional. Lucky for us we had 2-3 nights in each. Langleigh had fabulous rooms, wonderful hosts & outstanding breakfasts. Hunter Crook also had very nice rooms, made better by country views outside the window, along with all manner of animals. The rooster really wanted to check out our room! The hosts were delightful. Julie did some laundry for us, and unexpected bonus. The food was do die for. The other B&B's were very good, but these two stood out. The walk was as we expected, with a bit of challenge in the middle. We had a wonderful time. One of our group had the Henry Stedman guidebook: Hadrian's Wall Path, 4th edition, 2014. Although it goes the other way, we found it much more useful than the Cicerone guide. The maps were in sketch form, and had landmarks that were easy to recognize & follow. The daily written descriptions in both books were good. The booklet we got with the B&B names & instructions were fine. We all thought the maps showing the location of the B&B were useless. They were much too small to make sense of. I would like to have had daily walking distances added to the outline. I can not fathom why Mickledore will not allow one person to book a lunch. It makes absolutely no sense to me, or anyone else in our group. As it turned out, there was only one day where we couldn't access a pub for lunch. When we arrived in Tynemouth, the directions to the B&B seemed wrong. We couldn't find a cobble street, and we ended up in the wrong section of town. Some kind person, mowing his lawn, helped us out. Street names & compass directions may help. Overall, a very good trip.

Mickledore is a good company. The tour ran smoothly, with no hiccups.

We walked from Newcastle to Bowness on Solway, along Hadrians Wall, and the trip was organised by Mickledore travel. It all went so smoothly, that our group of 6 didn't have to worry about anything. All B&Bs were ready for us, and all really lovely, the luggage was transported each day, and always arrived in the right place. The only thing that Mickeldore couldn't help us with was the weather, but even that was quite good. Would travel with this company again.

Mickeldore arranged a wonderful holiday. The first night accommodation was changed at the last minute, and they contacted us all to let us know. Excellent service!

7 of us walked 63 miles of Hadrians Wall. We were very lucky with the weather, and stayed in some wonderful B&Bs along the way. The scenery, particularly on the Eastern part of the wall, is breathtaking and the history extremely interesting and captivating.

Mickledore were tremendous at every stage. They were extremely helpful in advising all 7 of us, even agreeing to take payment from each of us separately. The B&Bs were excellent (the owners all also acknowledged that Mickledore are the best!), the information pack was comprehensive and any problems were easily resolved.

It was a wonderful 3 days hiking along the central section of Hadrian's Wall. It was the fulfillment of a 40 year dream I had held.

Mickledore's arrangements were spot on. After a full day of walking, it was a delight to enjoy the wonderful accommodations Mickledore had arranged.

We walked the 'Coast to Coast' Hadrian's Wall over 9 days and loved every minute. Mickledore had made very careful arrangements to find us the best accommodation for our holiday. Our luggage was always collected efficiently and was always there on our arrival at the next guest house. It was a seemless holiday from the arrangements for parking our car to collection at the end of the journey. Mickledore kept us informed of any minor changes and provided clear information about any diversions they were aware of. In particular the maps, guidebooks and detailed information about our hosts, how to get there and where we could eat in the evening was clear and straight forward. The personalised booklet with all information for us was especially valuable and detailed.

Communications via email or telephone were prompt, efficient and friendly

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience of walking in Hadrians Wall country and visiting some of the archeological site's along the route.

Very, very helpful and all the staff that I spoke to at Mickledore were just great. I would not hesitate to use their services again.

Walking Hadrians Wall in Northumberland. Organised b and b stops every night and luggage moved daily to next destination. Enjoyed the escape and stayed in some lovely accomodation

Very organised pre information, prompt contact on booking and a willingness to help.

Walked across Britain, cost to coast over 6 days along the route of Hadrians wall staying in B&B with luggage moved by Mickledore travel

The organisation was excellent and the holiday pack very informative. The baggage labels were pre-printed with all the B&B info

After a week in London we walked the Hadrian's Wall Path from Newcastle to Bowness-on-Solway. This was a great experience. Each section of the walk had its own delights including the initial urban and industrial landscapes of Newcastle and the beautiful lonely landscapes of the Solway at the end of the path. Middle sections over country and the high crags was a tougher on the legs but a real scenery knockout. The heritage of the wall is amazing.

We used Mickledore Travel to organise a walk across England following Hadrian's Wall. The walk went smoothly with well chosen B&Bs, baggage transfer and map directions. This was a great experience and we were very appreciative of their efficient service. It was our second walking holiday in Britain and Mickledore did not disappoint. We would use this company again.
