Mickledore Travel Traveller Reviews

We have used Mickledore Travel for at least six walking holidays and we have never been disappointed in their service, clear and precise paperwork, selection of night stay overs and great, regular communications. The website is a pleasure to use; whatever aspect of the walk or Mickledore’s organisation you’re seeking it’s there. The app is extremely useful and as well as having all the documents it has emergency contact- which thank goodness we have never had to use. This year's walk was the Speyside Way. We enjoyed an extra day at the Dalnashaugh hotel on the Ballindalloch Estate which was picked by Mickledore Travel. All the nights stays were fine but for range of Whiskys the Highlander Inn is the one

This was a self guided walking tour in the English Lake District. We hiked each day stopping at a different inn or hotel at night.

Very well organized -- great communication from the Mickledore Team, really clear information for each days walking stage, All of the places we were booked into were first rate and we had good local information about each stop

Three ladies from Denmark and Norway, we walked from Corbridge to Carlisle along the Hadrians Wall trail. Roman remains, northern English landscape, a variety of accommodation and food gave us a good holiday experience. Perhaps we should have walked from west to east as we were unlucky with strong wind and rain, but starting in Corbridge village and ending in Carlisle town suited us well.

Mickledore provided what they offered and promised. Accommodation, luggage transport and information worked well, also straight forward payment from abroad.

Our holiday was walking self-guided from St. Bees to Robin Hoods Bay in northern England. This is the (soon to be national trail) Coast to Coast Path of Alfred Wainwright. Luckily for us, the weather was without compare. We had almost no rain, lots of sunshine and delightful temperatures. The walk took us through some amazing locations in the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North Yorkshire Moors. While, we tried to take advantage of the most memorable route options along the walk, there were lots of options which led to lots of variety. It will take a long time for us to waer of the excitement of having completed this adventure.

We booked the Coast to Coast Walk in 13 days with Mickledore, and they provided us with a wondeful holiday. We often felt like we had the best choice of accomodation in each of the towns which we stayed in. It felt like Mickledore had planned each leg of the walk with lots of fore-thought. And each leg brought new sights and adventures of its own. We also had our baggage transfered for us through Mickledore using Coast to Coast Packhorse. The transfers were seamless and without any issue. We felt that Mickledore offered a great holiday for the price. We would definately recomend them to other walkers.

We had a fantastic time -- beautiful views, great weather, lovely fellow hikers, and wonderful accommodations along the way!

Mickledore did a fine job pacing our days and ending with nice accomodations.

We booked 2 10-day walking holidays with rest and transition days. We started our holiday with the Cotswold Way, walking from Chipping Campden to Bath. We spend a couple of days in Bath visiting sights before transitioning to Winchester to walk the South Downs Way to Eastbourne. We chose these 2 walks as we really enjoy being in nature for our holidays; we used to do self-contained bike tours. These 2 walks also showed us the similarities and differences between these 2 nearby regions of the UK that we had not visited before. We met interesting people, both locals and visitors/walkers; walked beautiful countrysides; experienced a trail system unlike any we have ever been on; had great accommodations; and enjoyed good food. All-in-all, a terrific time.

We booked back-to-back walking holidays with Mickledore Travel this past winter of 2024. They quickly arranged 2 separate 10-day walking holidays, Cotswold Way and South Downs Way, with rest and transition days. They also provided a very responsive resource for train travel. All our reserved accommodations with breakfast were top drawer. Materials provided prior to our departure to the UK were very timely in our receiving them. Our printed and web-based documents were easy to read and use. Arranged taxi service was terrific. Luggage transfers took place as planned. Phone and email discussions regarding bookings and some changes after the bookings were very easy. Because of their service, our 30 days in the UK were an absolute delight. This was our second booking with Mickledore, and we plan to book with them again.

I walked St. Cuthbert's Way earlier this month (June 3 - 12). It was perfect! All my luggage transfers and accommodations were first rate. I had a couple of transfers and they were prompt in picking me up.

This is my second trip with Mickledore Walking Holidays and I have found them terrific to deal with. There were no issues at all on this trip so I had no reason to make contact during my walk but I know they would have been right on it had there been. In planning the trip they were quick to respond and answer any questions. I am a big fan!

Just finished the Cotswold Way with Mickledore Walking Holidays and it was great!. Everything was arranged perfectly. B&B's and hotels where great, especially the smaller family owned places where brilliant. I would for sure use them again for my future adventures.

They did a perfect job. Communication was easy, responded fast to emails. The travel kit contains everything you need and more... Nice app as well so you don't need to bring extra documents with you.

I walked the Dales High Way in six days from Saltaire to Appleby, some 95 miles, taking in some wonderful landscapes in the Yorkshire Dales en route. The weather was kind too which was a pleasant surprise, given how poor it had been prior to my departure.

My accommodation and baggage transfer were sorted our very effectively by Mickledore. I have used them several times in the past and they were as competent and helpful this time as they had been on previous holidays. I can strongly recommend them.

Before the walk started we got a travelpack send to our home with all the information about the walk, taxi, packed lunch, accommodation, restaurants etc. Everything was well organized before and during our walk and if there was anything, they responded very quickly by email or phone. It was a beautiful walk with stunning views. Each day was different and the host of the B&B / hotels / guesthouse were very friendly and welcoming. We had a marvelous time in Wales.

Mickledore offers a lot of walking holidays and you can choose if you want a packed lunch, luggage transport, extra restday. The company knows the routes and the staff members also walk the routes themselves. We always come back and book our walking holidays with Mickledore. Great service and they know what they’re doing
