Equipment & Luggage

Do you carry/move our luggage between each overnight stop?

If you book the luggage transport option then we will move 1 piece of luggage up to 14 Kilos in weight, transported between your B&B's as part of this price. If you leave your luggage at your accommodation in the morning, it will be waiting for you on arrival at the B&B that evening. Any extra bags can be transported (at an additional charge) as long as they are pre-booked.

We also offer a storage service for extra luggage not needing to be transported for this holiday. Please contact us for a quotation.

I'm afraid we do not offer a luggage service on its own.

What do I have to carry?

If you are having your luggage transported, then all you need to carry is a small day sack to hold your waterproofs, personal items, packed lunch, map, guidebook and camera.

Client Feedback

  • More than excellent. Janet and staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible and nothing seemed too much trouble.  Would highly recommend, and would stay again if ever visiting this area.

  • Would you use Mickledore again? YES, definitely, and speaking to people on the route we learned that you have a good reputation. We had a fabulous and memorable holiday and I can now strike Hadrian's Wall off my bucket list!
