North Lakes Traverse by Fox, 24 Oct 2024

Crazy

It was a beautiful holiday, too hilly for me so I made my own path, my grown up children walked very fast while I like to look around a bit more, but we enjoyed it!

Mickedore is absolutely very good, theyre great help with discussing where to go and not pushy and very open for questions.

West Highland Way by Phil, 22 Oct 2024

All is not lost.

We booked to walk the 8-day Weast Highland Way through Mickledore. As a couple of mid 70-year-olds we have a lot of walking experience but last-minute injuries took prominence on day 2 and we had to stop walking and continue the holiday by various modes of transport.

We booked to walk the 8-day Weast Highland Way through Mickledore. As a couple of mid 70-year-olds we have a lot of walking experience but last-minute injuries took prominence on day 2 and we had to stop walking and continue the holiday by various modes of transport. But the fact that all the organisation and support worked so well meant that we still enjoyed the experience. We always knew that our luggage would be there at the next stop, the accommodation would be of a good comfortable standard, and there would be support at the end of a telephone if we needed it. It was not the holiday we had originally planned for but a great experience none the less.

Rating for tour operator:

Any walking holiday is dependent on the weather, fitness and lack of injuries, any of which can conspire to reduce the enjoyment. The knowledge that the organisational input has been demonstrated in the information pack and personal contact over the telephone gave us the certainty that things would work out if needed. I was particularly impressed by the personal touch shown by the staff over the telephone prior to going and in being kept up to date with any changes to the schedule and accommodation. Having Micklemore to dealing with the logistics of moving luggage and making bookings for accommodation was exceptional. Plus the fact that we know that can arrange with Mickledore for a bespoke holiday to continue part of the walk at a later date.

Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the holiday despite your injuries changing the plan. We look forward to booking something bespoke for you so you can finish the walking part you missed. Hayley

Ridgeway by Ricky, 21 Oct 2024

FABULOUS MICKLEDORE

We have just completed the second half of the Ridgeway walk. We did the first half in May. Beautiful and interesting walk. Varied scenery throughout. We chose the six night holiday giving us ample time to enjoy everything. Overnight stops in Streatley, Wendover and Aldbury with Mickledore providing the taxis when necessary.

We have had many walking holidays with Mickledore. All have been terrific. Their choice of walks, choice of miles per day and overnight stays have always been excellent. Dealing with the team is always a pleasure - without except they are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We would never book walking holidays with anyone else.

Hadrian's Wall by Stuart, 16 Oct 2024
Holiday Rating:

An exceptional walking holiday that 'ran' like clockwork!

I booked the Hadrian's Wall walk within 10 days of departing and the Mickledore team couldn't have been ore helpful or accommodating in resolving final queries and expediting the pack and itinerary to me.This was my first solo traveler experience, and the hosts of all of the B&B's couldn't made me feel more welcome. A first class service covering one of the nicest walking routes in the UK.

Cotswold Round by Cotswoldwanderer, 15 Oct 2024
Holiday Rating:

Rolling hills and quaint villages

Mickledore's Cotswold Round is a lovely walk, linking visits to pretty villages to strolls across farmland, whilst crossing small rivers and enjoying wide views across the hills. Crossing this part of the country can even be made more enjoyable by taking time for some of the many gardens (nearly) along the route or historical buildings like Sudely castle.

Dealing with Mickledore is dealing with pleasant people, fast returns to emails and clear answers to urgent questions. Thinking along with the customer, me, and also considering various possibilities, clearly laid out with financial and practical consequences helps deciding on the right design for the holiday. A well filled batch of written information turns out to be very helpfull and enjoyable during the trip.

Hadrian's Wall Coast to Coast Walk

Spent seven days walking Hadrian's Wall path west to east. Mickledore booked the accommodation arranged to transport my luggage between each stop. Breakfast and packed lunch provided each day. Very well organised and documented. If anyone is contemplating this challenge I have no hesitation in recommending Mickledore.

No worries, just walk! Mickledore organised my holiday perfect. The only thing I had to do was to walk, everything else was arranged. The accomodations were good, and a few even excellent. The information about the holiday was very complete.

Amazing Attention to Detail by Mickledore

My husband and I (ages 74 and 78) walk Hadrian's Wall Path coast to coast in 10 days. All lodging and luggage transfer done by Mickledore. Wonderful B&Bs.
