The organisation from Mickledore was absolutely spot on and allowed us to enjoy our walking holiday, the accommodation was excellent and also the transportation of luggage. Communication was clear and information received was excellent

Lady Annes Way by Roger, 28 Jun 2021
Holiday Rating:

Another enjoyable and memorable walking holiday

Finally managed to walk Lady Anne's Way after 3 previous cancellations (due to prior injury and COVID restrictions). Was well worth it in the end. Interesting, varied route through beautiful countyside, much of which is little visited. All arrangements and accomodation to the usual very high standard. Weather was on the damp side but at least the waterfalls were at their best!

This was my 6th walking holiday through Mickledore and have never been dissappointed. Communications and information supplied in the advance pack are always to the highest standard. Accomodation is varied and always in the range good to excellent. My preferred walking tour operator if they offer the route I want.

A challenge, an adventure and such a worthwhile experience........

We walked the full length of Hadrian’s wall in 8 days. Mickledore planned and booked interesting and high quality accommodation (mostly B&Bs and pubs) along the route so we had a destination to aim for each day. We particularly enjoyed visiting historic sights along the way and the views from the wall were incredible at its highest points. We met many other friendly walkers along the way and enjoyed welcome pints and delicious meals in some ...

We walked the full length of Hadrian’s wall in 8 days. Mickledore planned and booked interesting and high quality accommodation (mostly B&Bs and pubs) along the route so we had a destination to aim for each day. We particularly enjoyed visiting historic sights along the way and the views from the wall were incredible at its highest points. We met many other friendly walkers along the way and enjoyed welcome pints and delicious meals in some of the quaint old breweries at the end of a days walk. An exhilarating experience. We would highly recommend this holiday.

Efficient, organised and kept us in the picture despite COVID regulations. Mickledore arranged for our bags to be transferred each day to the next accommodation and this was seamless.

Wonderful walking Islr of Wight

Walked the coastal path. Two Misty days meant we didn’t see the Needles which was very disappointing. Otherwise a wonderful experience. Most of the Guest houses were lovely but one of them did not provide juice, cereals, yogurts or fruit for breakfast, only the cooked meal. Disappointing. Paula is Cowes was the best….she went out of her way and left lots of little treats like fruit and biscuits…plus olives and crisps when we had gin and tonics ...

It’s very annoying that we went with a friend and rather than communicate with both of us all correspondence was through our friend and we were told we would have to pay extra for our own pack etc. As we were saving Mickledore a lot of time and trouble booking three of us at the same time this was irritating.

Thanks for your feedback. We do need to co-ordinate bookings through a lead party member. The FAQ page on our website provides information about holiday packs and while additional maps and guidebooks can be purchased the detailed itinerary and other key information are provided electronically for all party members to enjoy.

Rob Roy Way by Fellwalkerbob , 24 Jun 2021
Holiday Rating:

Scotland at its best.

The holiday was delayed by twelve months due to the COVID-19 restrictions but it was well worth the wait. I walked the Rob Roy Way starting in Drymen and ending in Pitlochry. I stopped in some lovely B&Bs along the way. The walk follows forest tracks, farm tracks, old military roads and cycle track 7 to get from A 2 B and you see parts of Scotland that are only accessible by foot.

I have used Mickledore many times now for my walking holidays and they have never let me down. From the first phone call to the start of the holiday i was kept informed as to what was happening due to Covid-19 and how it was effecting my holiday.
