Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

My wife and I had long thought of walking along the Cotswold Way - ever since my parents did the same 40 years ago - and this year we finally got around to it. It was the best holiday we have had in a long time, walking the 102 miles between Chipping Campden and Bath through some of the best of the British countryside, and staying at a variety of B&Bs, small hotels and inns along the way. There were some steep slopes - both up and down - but nothing too arduous, and our main luggage was transported for us to the next stop each day, so it was good to be able to travel light. The scenery was magnificent, varying from long views to the Severn estuary and Wales, to woodland walks and pretty (almost too pretty!) villages. We had a wonderful time.

What made the holiday special, and so easy-going, was the meticulous organisation by Mickledore Travel, from the initial booking to the end of the trip. Everything worked magnificently, from seamless baggage transfers to taxis (for occasional rides to more-distant accommodation) arriving precisely when and where we had been told. The booklet providing individual day-by-day notes on the walk, and all the details of what we would find on the way, gave us everything we could need, so we were just left to enjoy the walking. I know it is a cliché, but Mickledore really did exceed our expectations.

My friend and I walked The Gower Peninsular in Wales. We used Mickledore to organise our trip. They booked superb B&Bs, provided brilliant information and was on hand for any enquiries we had.

We have been on many walking holidays and have always used Mickledore. They are easily contactable. Provide superb information and only book good B&Bs, which they check regularly. What we like the most is that they themselves do the walks , so they know exactly what they are like.

We (6 of us) booked the Dales Way hike through Mickledore, and enjoyed seeing the beautiful English countryside.

They made all our arrangements for lodging, and provided us with maps, guidebooks, and information on the villages we’d be in so we could make dinner reservations. This was our 3rd Mickledore trip, and we’re already talking about our next one!

trekking van 9 dagen Van Mingavie naar Fort William via de West Highland Way. Fantastische natuurervaring en uitstekende verblijven. De route zelf was zeer duidelijk aangeven. We hebben geluk gehad met het weer slechts 2 dagen met regen.

Vlotte communicatie via mail met Mickeldore Travel. Zeer vriendelijke mensen en je kan alles vragen ze helpen je vlot verder. Zeer behulpzaam. De verkregen documentatie was uitgebreid en duidelijk. Alle verblijfplaatsen waren verwittigd en waar voorzien lag de picknick klaar.

We had a great holiday walking the Cleveland Way early in August. We went for the challenging 10 night / 9 day version and I have to admit that we did make one or two alterations to the route. The accommodation was good, especially considering that in some villages the choice was somewhat limited, with the b and bs in Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough being real stand-outs. We were pretty fortunate with the weather, though we did encounter some strong winds and (only once) torrential rain. The good people of Yorkshire were very welcoming and often offered to point out the correct direction before we had asked them. We have some great memories and some funny stories to tell.

Everything was very well organised by Mickledore Travel, who were very quick to respond to requests for clarification and who provided ample documentation. We hope to be able to do another holiday with Mickledore Travel in the very near future.

I was a walking holiday around the Cotswolds villages. As I have got older I cannot walk the same distances and Mickledore suggested this holiday which was excellent

Mickledore were helpful offering advice whilst I chose the holiday nothing was too much trouble. I made slight amendments which they accommodated and I felt that they cared for me

Eight days covering 103 miles of countryside walking from Saltaire to Appleby. The accommodation, luggage transfer and route guide was provided by Mickledore Travel

We have used Mickledore Travel several times now and all aspects of the service work well. All contact with MIckledore comes over as personal and caring.

This past June, we walked approximately 65 miles in Northumberland from Cresswell to Berwick-on-Tweed along the newly named English Coastal Path. We enjoyed the variety of our coastal accommodations along the North Sea, as well as learned more about the history of England through the many castles on this walk. We recommend taking the time to tour Bamburgh Castle, a living history spanning 1500 years!

This is our fifth walking holiday in England since 2017…. all with Mickeldore! Traveling from the United States, Mickeldore gave us the confidence to plan these holidays, knowing that they would “have our backs” if we needed assistance. Happily, all our trips went smoothly!

Self guided 6 night walking trip along the river Thames from Marlow to Richmond-upon-Thames. The Mickledore booking process was very easy. We enjoyed staying in all of the hotels on the route, our luggage was successfully transferred every day and Mickledore pre-booked taxis along the route worked efficiently. All of the rooms were well appointed (received a free upgrade in one hotel) and all provided hearty breakfasts to start our days walking. Most of the hotels were centrally located with lots of restaurants nearby. The country house hotel was a little further out but still with easy access to town if you wanted it. As with our previous Mickledore holidays along the earlier sections of the Thames Path the route was very well sign-posted and followed the river with only a few detours. This section of the Thames Path was less rural but with a number of interesting villages and sights along the way eg. Runnymede and WIndsor/Eton. We would also recommend this trip through Mickledore as we have for the earlier two stages we have completed.

There was extensive information on the Mickledore website about the trip. The booking process was very easy. Once confirmed the holiday pack arrived quickly by post. It contained detailed information about all of the places we would be staying, local information about places to eat/emergency contact info etc as well as a detailed guide book and map. The guide book was excellent and included detailed maps for each section of the route. All of the hotels were ready for us when we arrived and our luggage was transferred for us seamlessly between them. We’re already thinking about our next trip with Mickledore.

Coast to Coast walk from St Bees to Shap was everything we could have asked for - beautiful scenery, challenging terrain and really well organised with excellent accommodation along the route.

We could not fault Mickledore for their booking experience, choice of accommodation, provision of route guidance and the sensitive way in which they handled our holiday when we had to return suddenly following a family bereavement. Excellent and would definitely recommend and use them again ourselves.
