West Highland Way

All of the arrangements made by Mickledore for our hike along the West Highland Way were excellent. The selected lodgings and accommodations were perfect and the luggage transfer service worked flawlessly. Also, all of the lodges and inns correctly recorded our request for a packed trail lunch each day. The entire trip was hassle-free and well-organized.

The accommodation arranged was all comfortable and welcoming. The West Highland Way is a beautiful trail, with some challenging parts, but is achievable by most people with moderate fitness if you pick the correct itinerery.

Rating for tour operator:

Brilliant support. Simple booking process even though I booked quite late. Really comprehensive information pack including - a map - a guidebook - a list of restaurants and services near the trail - detailed information about how to find your accommodation each night.

It sounds like you had a fantastic time on the West Highland Way, especially so thanks to your lighter backpack. It is also good to hear that you found the holiday pack information comprehensive. Thanks for your great feedback, we would be pleased to arrange your next walking holiday for you.

Fantastic trip--easy planning!

I walked the West Highland Way using Mickledore to arrange accommodation and baggage transfer. Everything was very smooth, and all information accurate. They were always quick to respond to questions. The holiday could not have been better!

Well organised hiking holiday

Together with two friends I booked a hiking holiday to walk the West Highland Way in Scotland with Mickledore Travel. They provided us with all the information required to complete the walk safely. All our accommodation was pre booked, our luggage forwarded, and transfers organised where required. All we had to do was enjoy the hiking. Bed and Breakfast accommodation was of a high standard at 90% of locations, bearing in mind the remoteness ...

All our accommodation was pre booked, our luggage forwarded, and transfers organised where required. All we had to do was enjoy the hiking. Bed and Breakfast accommodation was of a high standard at 90% of locations, bearing in mind the remoteness of some locations where only one hotel was available, it was obvious where more choice was available, we got the best. This was the second holiday we had booked with Mickledore travel, and would not hesitate in using them again in the future.

Walking the West Highland Way & A climb up Ben Nevis.

This is the second time i've used Mickledore Travel to arrange my walking holiday and everything went to plan. They booked my overnight accommodation, provided route maps, baggage transfer and even a packed lunch everyday if you required it. They also provide info on where you can get cash, toilets, food, doctors, taxis etc along the way. I had a very enjoyable holiday and walked with different people that i met along the way.

I've spoken to the staff at Mickledore over the phone and also called into their office in Keswick. They are all very friendly and knowledgeable because they've walked the routes themselves. Would highly recommend Mickledore Travel.

Walking holiday West Highland and Great Glen Ways

Booking through Mickledore they organised all the accommodation, baggage transfer, packed lunches, maps, guidebooks and schedules of services and where to eat. The genuine warmth, friendliness and good humour we experienced at every venue was first class and a testament to the research that Mickledore had done in selecting these venues. The venues were also clean, comfortable and flexible, which after a long days walk is very welcome indeed...

The venues were also clean, comfortable and flexible, which after a long days walk is very welcome indeed. The maps and guides, though largely superfluous due the quality of the signage on these two trails, were informative about local history, flora and fauna and the recommendations of where to eat were also first class and evidence of their research. I will use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Great west highland way trek

We trekked from Crianlarich to Fort William with Mickledore sand it was wonderful. Everything was well organised, ran smoothly and the quality of the accommodation was good. I would definitely recommend this trek, and Mickledore to others wanting a few days out in the highlands.

Rating for tour operator:

Mickledore did a great job, right from booking through to the final accommodation. They transferred our bags during the day which made the whole thing very easy. The accommodation was generally very good, although in fairness the first night in Crianlarich was OK, packed lunch being average at best. Great experience and I'm planning my next trek with Mickledore now.
