Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

Fantastic walking vacation! 5 says of beautiful views, interesting history, gracious hosts and accommodations, with the support of a service that carried our bags and were available for questions . We totally loved it!

Mickeldore was responsive and organized. Well respected by our hosts, and placed us in excellent accommodations. They always responded helpfully - before and during our trip. We highly recommend them.

Our holiday was the self guided walking "Tour of the Lake District". Mickledore arranged the holiday, all the accommodation and our luggage transfers between accommodation. The level of accommodation was excellent, varying between B&Bs and Inn/hotels. Our luggage was always at the night's accommodation before we arrived, so ready to change into new clothes. Off hand, I think this is the 5th holiday of this type we have taken through Mickledore, and all have been to a high standard - we will certainly book through them again.

While it is possible to book walking holidays yourself, and we have done that in the past, Mickledore take all the uncertainty out of organising the holiday. They arrange all the overnight accommodation (which is usually of a great standard), to meet the distances you are happy to walk. They also arrange transport for baggage which means there are no heavy rucksacks to carry leaving you free to enjoy the scenery along the way

The opportunity to walk from Fort William to Inverness along the Great Glen has been a treasure of an experience. The journey takes you along the tow paths of the Caledonian Canal, the forest paths, woodlands, moorlands and highlands surrounding the lakes it connects. And, what a treat to be welcomed at the end of the day with the warm hospitality of the lovely B&B's chosen for us.. After a good night sleep and an excellent breakfast, we were off again to our next destination knowing our bags would be waiting! We enjoyed meeting people on our journey, but appreciated the opportunity as a couple to be with each in such a beautiful natural environment.

As we found in our travels, there are so many organizations offering walking/ hiking holidays. We feel we are fortunate to have found Mickeldore. Great Glen Way is our second holiday with them , the first being an equally fabulous Hadrian's Wall Walk! The quality of their holiday package (maps, books, pre-trip information) all help prepare us for the adventure. And, make no mistake about it, covering 80 miles in 7 days on foot is an adventure. Mickeldore gave us the tools on our walking journey to knowledgeably enjoy the thrill of discovering Scotland in a very personal way. It can be difficult, especially coming from the US, to establish good lines of communication before and during a walking holiday adventure .... especially a self guided one... to make it a safe experience. It is especially important to get a good “match”. Mickeldore has done that twice for us. We are already thinking about our next walk!

Walking the South West Coast line

Mickledore - organised all of the B&Bs, transfers, maps and books

We walked on the Thames Way , every day between 13 to 17 miles, stayed in various pre-booked accomodations from rural guesthouses , to comfortable B and Bs , to elegant hotels , enjoyed picturesque villages, the charm of Oxford and grand houses along the Thames. It was an easy hike to be recommended to all age groups.

I have done quite a few hikes with the help of Mickledore. The tour operator has never disappointed me.

An excellent way to walk and explore a new area. Very well organised using some very good and well established experienced B&B's. Luggage transfers were faultless and walk information, maps etc to a high standard. Professional efficient service throughout.

Well organised efficient service.

Mickledore booked all my B&B’s and organised transport of the luggage. The accomodations were very good and near the trail!

Very good and helpfull communication!

We spent 7 days walking the Hadrian's wall trail. The scenery and sense of history was great. To be recommended.

Mickledore were super efficient and really well organised. They booked great accommodation for us and provided us with all the information we needed. I would use again

Thanks to Mickledore we had a gorgeous holiday. My husband and I have walked a part of the South West Coast Path last May from St Ives to Plymouth. It wasn’t our first trip organized by Mickledore, we did C2C, Speyside, Great Glenn Way and Hadrian's Wall. And all were perfectly organized holidays! From holiday pack, maps & guidebooks,well chosen B&B, everything arranged into detail. We can and will highly recommend Mickledore. Martijn and Cindy Duffels

My wife, daughter and myself booked with Mickledore to walk the Dales Way. The whole experience was excellent. Mickledore provided everything we could have possibly needed, e.g. maps, overnight accomodation, places of interest on route, places to eat, luggage awaited us on arrival every day. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

This was the 4th holiday we have booked with Mickledore and we have been happy each time with their organisational skills. we wouldn't dream of using anyone else.
