My friend and I returned from our Coast to Coast holiday and we would both like to say what a wonderful time we had, despite getting drenched on the first 2 days! The rest of our week was lovely sunshine. We met so many different people on the route and ended up walking the last 3 days with 2 American guys which was great fun.
All the B&B’s and hotels were excellent and the owners very friendly and helpful. We could quite happily have stayed longer at the Old Water View in Patterdale! Thank you for arranging these wonderful places and for making our holiday so memorable. We will be doing the second half next year.

Overall, I found the holiday great, memorable and challenging (the wild weather certainly played it’s part!). Your organisation was first class in every way and I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. .
I found navigation surprisingly tricky at some points (and I rate myself a pretty good navigator/map reader) – the Coast to Coast Path Guide you supplied was absolutely invaluable as an aid to navigation and a great source of other info.
Equipment wise, I was very glad I had a walking pole on the extremely windy days – would have really struggled without it. I think it’s a real safety aid in the exposed Cumbria stage. I was also glad I had a compass at times.
Found Orton an unexpectedly interesting village to stop at, the accommodation brilliant and the walking stage from Orton to Kirkby particularly satisfying with the scenery a lovely contrast to the earlier stages.

Many thanks for an excellent time. We were very impressed with the whole package and would happily recommend Mickledore to friends. We were not totally impressed with the Hurricane force winds on Kidsty pike but hey-ho!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, particularly some of the quirky hosts!
