St Oswalds Way Traveller Reviews

Our fourth and best walking holiday yet, miles of unspoilt Northumberland beaches and beautiful scenery

We would highly recommend Mickeldore they provide an excellent personal service, nothing is to much and the communication is outstanding, the walking holidays are very well organised with great accommodation and seamless transfer of baggage

Just returned from completing St Oswalds Way, this is our fourth walking holiday with Mickeldore and the best one yet, the walk was incredible changing from totally unspoilt seaside to huge views and beautiful countryside. Mickeldore arrangements and travel information was seemless, so easy to follow and no issues with getting luggage transferred. We received positive feedback from the bed and breakfast hosts and taxi service who also stated that Mickeldore was the best walking company they deal with as they provide a personal touch, take time to visit and care which we totally agree with. We would highly recommend using them and look forward to our next holiday

Very personal and individual approach, paperwork is seemless and great accommodation and they always ask for feedback and act on it

A lovely, somewhat leisurely walk over 11 days down the Northumbrian coast. Charming and comfortable accommodations and opportunities to visit several historical sites

Our second tour through Mickledore and it won't be the last. They handled everything, no stress or problems for us.

Setting off from the atmospheric island of Lindisfarne, the 97 mile walk follows the coast south to Warkworth and then heads inland to Rothbury before turning south to Hadrian's Wall. It's a varied itinerary and every day is a highlight. Part of the pleasure of walking was the anticipation of arriving at my accommodation and meeting my host at the end of the day. Each was different, all were high quality and some were amazing. And the breakfasts! Taxi transfers, where necessary, were well organised and drivers were happy to be flexible and fit in with my schedule. As a solo walker, I find it very reassuring to know that someone is looking out for me at the end of the day.

Mickledore cater for every eventuality and there is someone available if support is needed at any time. Their holiday package includes route guides and local information covering everything you might need from cash points to cafés on or near the route. Everything is on the app, so there's no need to carry paperwork. All I had to do was turn up and walk. This was my 8th holiday with Mickledore, I think that says it all.

Walking holiday along St Oswald's Way, Northumberland. Stunning coastal walk and good accommodation and faultless organisation

Great attention to detail, everything spot on

Walking St Oswald's Way in Northumberland was a delightful experience. The route encompases a mixture of historic Holy Island, the unspoilt Northumberland coast with its beautiful beaches and harbours and later the quiet rolling hills finishing along Hadrians Wall. Very good accomodation B & Bs, guest houses and pubs and fortunately good weather enhanced the whole experience.

Have used Mickledore for 5 walking holidays and they are my prime choice due to their excellent service, comprehensiveness of the walking pack supplied and quality of accomodation.

Walked St Oswalds way in May 2019. Mickledore booked all our accommodation,provided maps and lots of useful information.

Seamless booking. All information was good. Always on hand to answer queries. Accomodation they chose was fantastic. Would recommend.

We chose Mickledore as our holiday provider and we are very pleased that we did as they provided an excellent service throughout. I would recommend them and we would use them again as our preferred walking holiday provider.

Very efficient and personalised service. They tailored our holiday specifically to our requirements.

We spent six days walking with accommodation and luggage transport organised by Mickledore. Everything was very well arranged as usual, and the guide books and maps provided accurate and easily understood.

Mickledore organise self guided walking holidays and have many routes to choose from. We have used them for years as they provide a first class service

Reviewer's images:

Walking the northern part of the St Oswald's way (Holy Island to Warkworth) was a wonderful way to escape the worries of everyday life. Carrying just a day sack, we were able to linger and look at wildflowers and wonder at the skylarks. The accommodation was welcoming and all arrangements were taken care of by Mickledore faultlessly.

From the easy to use website to the excellent communication at all times - and the level of service there was nothing we could fault Mickledore on.
