Rating for tour operator:

Always responsive to us , and provided great resources. Also, they were highly spoken of by drivers and B and B owners/managers. This is the second time we’ve used them- hope to use them every time.

St Cuthbert’s Way made easy

This was our first organised walking holiday. Mickledore booked the rooms, arranged packed lunches where possible and arranged for our baggage to be at the next stop. It all worked smoothly. The choice of places to stay overnight was good. I will certainly use Mickledore again.

Glorious

Walking the St Cuthbert's Way with very good weather.

Rating for tour operator:

Very efficient service. Initial inquiry received a quick response. All the accommodation was booked and information with full details of the walk and available services along the way was very helpful and thorough. Everything worked smoothly including taxi transfers to accommodation that was some distance from the walking route.

Outstanding - Exceptional Customer Service

We walked St Cuftberts Way from Melrose to Lindisfarne. It was both brilliant and beautiful. Mickeldore were exceptional in all respects - the whole experience far out weighed our expectations.

St cuthberts way

I probably would never have thought of doing this if it had not been for the travel restrictions imposed by covid but I'm so glad I did. Did it solo/self guided and loved it. The information pack sent by mickledore was very concise and covered every conceivable need and eventuality ( fortunately mostly not needed) making me feel safe at all times ( important for a female travelling alone) and the accommodation delightful. I would not hesitate ...

Wraparound StCuthbert’s Way

A smashing walking holiday in the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. Tailored to our preferences for length of day walk, excellent B&Bs and small inns and hotels, luggage reliably transported for us, and with all routes, maps and tips supplied. All Covid secure. Just the break we needed.

Mickledore could not have been more helpful and provided all the information we needed. Also, we had some unusual dietary requirements, and all our hosts were prepared for this.

Most impressed with Mickledore who due to Covid agreed to convert our deposit for a long haul trip with their sister company to a staycation. Every tiny detail of our trip had been considered and arranged. Very noticeable was that all the B&B and hotel owners and taxi companies we were booked with enjoyed working with the company and had respect for its efficiency and maintenance of high standards

Thank you for your great feedback and kind comments. We put a lot of effort into chosing the best accommodations for our holidays and it is always lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your trip.

Walking St Cuthbert's Way from Scotland to England

A 63 mile walk done over 4 days - mostly in very wet conditions, so didn't see the countryside at its best! Nevertheless an interesting and varied walk with the highlight being the Cheviot Hills.

Mickledore provided comprehensive info to allow self-guiding and booked good accommodation along route and arranged bag transfer, taking all the hassle out of the logistics. There is emergency contact if required.
