Hadrian's Wall Traveller Reviews

A wonderful walking holiday on Hadrians Wall with 3 friends over 8days. Loved every minute of it. Accommodation variable and faultless. Great weather. Good information regarding the walk/trail .

Pleasant, organised and very helpful

Just back from 9 days of walking, with 2 relaxing rest days, along the Hadrian's Wall Way. Splendid views, great accommodation, delicious food, fascinating history and, as an added bonus, we managed to avoid the rain!

Mickledore did an excellent job of organising top class accommodation which provided welcoming hosts, very good rooms and tasty breakfasts. The maps and information provided were great and the luggage transfers worked seamlessly. They provided a great itinerary based on our wish for time to take in the scenery and the historical sights and also sorted parking and transport back to the start. Would highly recommend them.

good walking each day, with interesting places along Hadrian's wall to visit.

Mickledore Travel were spot on with there organising of B&B's, luggage transport and taxis. would recommend them to everybody. will be using them again next year.

My friends and I walked the Hadrian's wall path, the whole 84 miles for 8 days from East to West in July. The route was clearly signposted and with the help of the "Trailblazer" we found our way around. We all enjoyed the walk with lots to see on the way, when we reach the wall and were high up on the mountains we could not believe the views we encountered, it was absolutely amazing and so rewarding after climbing and scrambling over rocks. We met so many nice people in the day some of them would stay in the same B&B which was really nice so we could exchange experiences and information. All in all the whole experience was very pleasant and I would definitely recommend the walking holiday to anybody.

The holiday was very well organised from start to finish the majority of the B&B's we stayed in were located conveniently along the trail so after a long days walking and feeling rather tired we had a comfortable room to go to. The information pack that I received well in time for our start date included everything from local taxi firms phone numbers to ATM locations , and how to get to the B&B as one or two would be a short distance of the path'. For two B&B locations Mickledore had an arrangement with the proprietor to pick us up from an allocated location and drop us of again the following day to continue our walk. It was very well arranged and I would without any hesitation book a walking holiday with Mickledore again.

...I decided to try The Hadrian's Wall Path first as it is marked as one of the easier ones. I loved every minute of it, I think I have discovered a new passion.

Mickledore arranged everything for me friendly, professionally and on very short notice. I had all necessary information and materials, so even a rookie like me couldn't do wrong. They chose very reasonable and at times even brilliant accommodation. If I have one suggestion for improvement, it is the mobile app. A few hyperlinks and some interactive features would greatly improve it.

An amazing experience - crossing England along the Hadrian's Wall path. From the nature reserves of Bowness on Solway, feeling on top of the world on the Crags and then slowly passing through fields of gold towards the river Tyne.

We wanted to walk Hadrian’s Wall and chose Micledore to arrange the holiday having had them recommended to us. We’ve been on trips like this before so we can compare levels of service and expertise. Right from the start Micledore proved to be exceptional because of their attention to detail. They were attentive to our requests and quick to find solutions. They provided all the information we needed to get from place to place and find our accomodation. As we live abroad we really appreciated the quality and variety of accomodation and eating places they arranged for us which gave us a taste of life in rural Britain. We hope to participate in further holdiays with Mickledore and recommend them without hesitation.

My sister and I are just back from a 4day walking holiday ,walking the most scenic part of Hadrians Wall. We started in Corbridge and ended up in Brampton. We had lovely Guesthouses to rest our weary bones each night. We started with a wonderful breakfast,and lunch to eat on the walk.The landscape was so varied,from lakes to distant mountains,altogether a great experience.

mickledore Travel was very helpful,providing us with good maps and info. Our places to stay proved comfortable and meals were excellent.

We had a wonderful four day walking trip along Hadrian's Wall staying at five different B & B's along the way.

Very helpful, well organised, efficient. The information pack was excellent and the service provided was terrific.

Thanks to your organization, our walk went very well. We were even lucky enough to have very little rain & mud. The B&B's were good, with 2 stand-outs: Langleigh Guest House in Carlisle, and Hunter Crook Lodge, in Twice Brewed. They were both exceptional. Lucky for us we had 2-3 nights in each. Langleigh had fabulous rooms, wonderful hosts & outstanding breakfasts. Hunter Crook also had very nice rooms, made better by country views outside the window, along with all manner of animals. The rooster really wanted to check out our room! The hosts were delightful. Julie did some laundry for us, and unexpected bonus. The food was do die for. The other B&B's were very good, but these two stood out. The walk was as we expected, with a bit of challenge in the middle. We had a wonderful time. One of our group had the Henry Stedman guidebook: Hadrian's Wall Path, 4th edition, 2014. Although it goes the other way, we found it much more useful than the Cicerone guide. The maps were in sketch form, and had landmarks that were easy to recognize & follow. The daily written descriptions in both books were good. The booklet we got with the B&B names & instructions were fine. We all thought the maps showing the location of the B&B were useless. They were much too small to make sense of. I would like to have had daily walking distances added to the outline. I can not fathom why Mickledore will not allow one person to book a lunch. It makes absolutely no sense to me, or anyone else in our group. As it turned out, there was only one day where we couldn't access a pub for lunch. When we arrived in Tynemouth, the directions to the B&B seemed wrong. We couldn't find a cobble street, and we ended up in the wrong section of town. Some kind person, mowing his lawn, helped us out. Street names & compass directions may help. Overall, a very good trip.

Mickledore is a good company. The tour ran smoothly, with no hiccups.

We walked from Newcastle to Bowness on Solway, along Hadrians Wall, and the trip was organised by Mickledore travel. It all went so smoothly, that our group of 6 didn't have to worry about anything. All B&Bs were ready for us, and all really lovely, the luggage was transported each day, and always arrived in the right place. The only thing that Mickeldore couldn't help us with was the weather, but even that was quite good. Would travel with this company again.

Mickeldore arranged a wonderful holiday. The first night accommodation was changed at the last minute, and they contacted us all to let us know. Excellent service!
