Northumberland Coast Path Traveller Reviews

Excellent holiday organised by Mickledore with great accommodation and efficient baggage transfers. Beautiful coastal scenery, pretty villages and interesting history.

Staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and sort out any issues before, during and after our holiday. Wonderful!

5 days, hiking 66 miles along the north coast of England. Wonderful time spent exploring this overlooked gem of an area.

Very thorough operation, handling of the logistics was flawless. We had 2 minor issues come up that were handled by the staff quickly and efficiently (one even outside normal business hours). Well organized packet of information.

Wonderful coastal walk, much to see on the way, lovely coastal villages and country pubs- and easily self-navigable.

Respond promptly to emails when booking, move luggage safely and reliably, find great accomodation along the route and provide more than enough instruction, maps and book to find your way .

We walked the Northumberland Coast path in 4 days and had a great time. Mickledore organized the trip in a fabulous way. Luxury accomodations. We felt very welcome everywhere. Beautiful dramatic countryside with wonderful nature and full of castles and history. We also made a boat trip to Farne Islands and saw seals and puffins. We really enjoyed the time and still feel deeply relaxed. We really loved it and will come back: word !!!!!

We are happy that we chose Mickledore to book this tour. Really helpful and friendly people. Well organized trip.

We walked from Cresswell to Berwick along the Northumberland coastal path. It was lovely scenery and very relaxing and enjoyable. We stayed in a variety of B&Bs with our luggage transported on for us. All the accommodation was arranged for us by Mickledore and all were of superb quality.

Mickledore were superb and we would unhesitatingly recommend them and we will be using them again. They were very easy to deal with on the phone and we received a comprehensive itinerary together with OS maps and a guidebook for the walk. The holiday went by without a hitch - all accommodation was of very high standard and the luggage transfers worked brilliantly. We are already looking at what walking holiday to do next with them.

I did the coastal path walking holiday along the Northumberland coast. The B&Bs were fantastic, all hosts were very friendly and made me feel at home. Luggage transport was really convenient and well organised, too. The maps, trip notes and the guide book I had got from the operator were very helpful too. I never had any issues finding my way (even if I left the official path and took a different route).

I booked with Mickledore travel agency. They are very professional and everything was perfect. I can't find a single thing to criticise.

We walked in four days from Alnmouth to Bamburgh, one of the finest sea side walks in England. Four days to go no great distance, but with many diversions and resting and loitering points on the way. The sun shone all the time, the sea glistened, the castles and the sands were perfect each in their own way, we both agreed the company was perfect, and everything went according to plan. Life was as good as it gets.

Their planning was faultless, their standards exceeded even our own, and not a single thing went wrong.

I walked 102 miles from Cresswell to Berwick uoon Tweed in 6 days in mid-September 2017. The beaches and coastal scenery were fabulous, almost deserted at times, and the weather although not warm was sunny, dry and windy for most of the time. The highlights were the walks were: to and around Holy Island, and walking the beaches near Dunstanburgh and Bamburgh castles.

Mickledore are well organised and responsive, and they supply good quality guides and maps of the trail before the holiday. The accommodation was all of a very high standard, in terms of the rooms, facilities, food provided and the hosts. I also had the impression I was allocated the superior room purely because I was a Mickledore customer, even though I was a solo traveler.

Holiday September 12th to 20th Our holiday with Mickledore walking the Northumberland coastal path was the first time we have been on a holiday like this. The organisation before we went was very detailed and the resources sent, book and maps, very comprehensive. We enjoyed the “unknown” of what our accommodation was like each night as we had deliberately not looked them up on-line beforehand. We enjoyed the reading of the next day’s walk each night giving ourselves a refresher over the very tasty and filling breakfasts we had at every stop. Of course we rated our accommodation, Fenham farm was outstanding and we loved the house at Warkworth but that does not mean the other places were unacceptable but someone has to win! We were surprised that at times the path seemed so unused and we were exploring un-walked territory. This was mainly where the official path went inland, across fields and woods so maybe this part was not so popular. The scenery along this route is stunning, the sandy beaches stretch for miles and we were lucky enough to see them with sunshine and blue skies and blue sea. We were proud of our walking achievements each day and we would definitely consider another walking holiday. Ruth and Tony Dillon

Excellent details included in the planning of the holiday, very detailed information sent including maps, book and local information. Clearly a very professional organisation.

This is our third walking holiday with Mickledore. previously we walked Hadrian's Wall (2015) and The South Downs path (2016) This year We walked the Northumberland Coastal Path staying, as before, at accommodation organised by Mickledore. It was a great holiday. Fantastic and varied scenery, good walking and supported well by the travel company especially when we managed to lock ourselves out of one of the B and B's! I'd highly recommend the walk to anyone new to a walking holiday and the Mickledore to all walkers

As mentioned above, Mickledore is a friendly and professional company offering personal advice and support throughout the holiday from booking to evaluation post-return. The walks are tested out by a member of the company and the accommodation is generally of good quality. Where expectations are not met Mickledore follows up on comments from clients. The couriers transporting luggage are courteous and efficient
