Coast to Coast Traveller Reviews

We did a 15 day 16 night walking holiday across the country. Our accommodation was booked and our cases transferred between accommodation each day. We also had packed lunches where offered. The walks were self guided but Mickledore provide detailed information on facilities en route together with a useful map and guide.

This is our third walk with Mickledore, and you don't go back if they do a bad job do you? We told them what we wanted to do with an approximate start date and they came back with some advice about the start date and an estimate of the cost. Everything in terms of planning and booking the accommodation was left to them and they did a wonderful job. The accommodation can be anything from a hotel to a gust house or B&B but it's always carefully chosen and is always absolutely great, with a few exceptional choices along the way.

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.

I have been thinking about the C2C walk for many years and Mickledore made it a reality. This is a walk across Northern England following Wainwright' famous route. The options provided were very useful and allowed me to break the journey half-way.

The organisation, information provided and choice of stays was excellent. I did not encounter any issues or problems with the arrangements. I will certainly book again with Mickledore and would recommend them to anyone interested in this type of holiday.

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

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.

My friend and I recently embarked on an ambitious adventure – the 185-mile UK Coast to Coast Walk / Hike with Mickledore Walking Tours and it was fantastic. Great country, great food, and great people - what a trip!

Just finished our UK Coast to Coast Walk with Mickledore Walking Tours and it was fantastic. From planning to the walk itself, everything was seamless. Their excellent organization ensured perfectly timed luggage transfers and comfortable accommodations. The B&Bs were awesome with great food and a warm welcome, allowing us to unwind after each day's walk. Breakfast and lunch arrangements were equally on par – wonderful meals, organized upfront and prepared by the bed-and-breakfast for us to enjoy first thing in the morning and on trail - fantastic. Mickledore's staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always available for questions and recommendations. The upfront communication between us and Mickeldore was professional, pertinent, and spot on. That, along with all the provided materials allowed us to prepare ahead of time and concentrate on just enjoying the experience of hiking the C2C. Mickledore's meticulous organization, knowledge friendliness and professionalism made our trip. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable hiking holiday in the UK.

Hiked from St Bees to Kirkby Stephens with luggage hauled from one B&B to the next. Welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, and excellent maps so we never got lost

This was our second trip with Mickeldore and we were very pleased both times. Very well organized in every way.

Our Coast to Coast experience was the perfect holiday, walking through a variety of landscapes, picturesque villages and visiting historic sights. Following in Wainwright's footsteps, we enjoyed every part of this walk, from the challenging climbs (and weather) in the Lake District, the beauty of the Pennines, through to the stark and misty North Yorkshire moors. Having waited a year to do this walk it did not disappoint.

Mickeldore was our tour operator and provided an outstanding experience. Their level of organisation ensured everything went smoothly - the accommodation, transport of bags and provision of all necessary information to guide the walk. They repliesd promptly to all our enquiries and were flexible in their scheduling, fitting in with the pace at which we wanted to complete the journey.

Third crossing of C2C with Mickeldore. Cannot daily them. We organised trip from Australia. They were always responsive to phone calls and emails. Staff we dealt with always friendly and professional.

Professional and efficient

We had a cracking time on our UK Coast to Coast walking holiday thanks to Mickledore's Team! We did Wainright's 192miles/309km walk over 17 days, which included 2 rest days (Kirkby Stephen and Richmond). Starting at St Bees on the West coast walking across England to Robin Hood's Bay on the North coast. The terrain offered so much variation from the massive mountain climbs and absolutely stunning views in the Lake District, to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales and the vastness of the North York Moors. It was a tough walk in the first 6 days across the Lake District, and some days were very long throughout the walk, but it is absolutely worth the challenge!! We met some fabulous like minded people along the way and had a lot of laughs over a drink at the end of each day. The two things that made our walking holiday such a success were the weather, we walked in early June 2023 before the summer got too hot, and the excellent planning by our walk provider "Mickledore Walking Holidays".

The Mickledore team provided excellent communication before and during our walk. Everyone we had contact with while trying to arrange the best option and dates for our Coast to Coast walk was extremely helpful. The team also worked very hard to accommodate some itinerary changes we wanted to make to get the best out of our rest days. Overall, the accommodation along the walk was really good. The bag transfers were also well managed; we had only one query about a late bag delivery along the walk, which the Mickledore team addressed very quickly. This was our second UK walk with Mickledore and we were extremely happy with the service and the walk information pack provided, we especially like that they are a UK based service provider. We would definitely use Mickledore Walking Holidays again!
