Client Feedback

Really brilliant! We had a ‘ball’, organisation was impeccable, B&B’s were exceptionally helpful. Baggage carrying impeccable. We enjoyed our two days off and concur with your recommendation to stop in Grasmere and Richmond.

First of all, I was very impressed with the organization, the accommodation, the way the luggage just seemed to be waiting for me each day. You would like my impression of each nights accommodation, I have decided not to do that, as it amounted to 25 nights, for the first while I would say to myself, this was the best yet, then found I was only repeating the same thing each morning. I found everything just lovely, the rooms were all different and quite unique, clean rooms, and bathrooms, comfortable beds, just lovely folk running these places, wanting to make you coffee and goodies when you arrived, or willing to help with anything to make you comfortable, it was just lovely and very appreciated by me.

I was on my own walking, actually did not walk to often on the Coast to Coast on my own, it was difficult not to get lost, without much in the way of sign posts, so the book was like a bible, you were always looking at it. I met and walked with some charming people, it was quite hard walking each day, and I was advised to do it in the 17 days, and that was very good advice for me, as this was to celebrate my 80th birthday, (my own present to myself).

I am giving the whole trip a 10 out of 10, and you even managed 17 days without rain, perfect. Thank you.

Everything was so well organised and the host at the accommodation places had high praise for Mickledore. In particular your company makes the bookings with the B&B’s when booked by the purchaser rather than leaving arrangements to block bookings and to the last minute. We had excellent accommodation and fantastic hosts. We would definitely use Mickledore for our next walking holiday. We can’t wait to come back.

Great trip, Mickledore! I will be back!

Will certainly use Mickledore again – just disputing where to go next time!

Thanks for excellent service, including bag transfers.

Never having hiked for six days in a row, and never having been in the Lake District before, we didn’t quite know what to expect. Despite occasional blisters we came through our experience with an appreciation for the Lake District and the people who live there that only trekking the long miles is likely to provide. In addition, staying in B and B’s was a great way to lighten (literally) our load along the way, and the excellent work of Mickledore in arranging our lodgings made our trip preparations much less demanding. They were extremely responsive to all questions we asked via emails in the months leading up to our walking holiday. We would not hesitate to use their services again and we are looking forward to completing our Coast to Coast walk as soon as possible.

We would like to thank you for your efforts to organise our recent Coast to Coast walk. We were very pleased with your accommodation choices, and delighted that the luggage transfer arrangements worked seamlessly. The whole trip was wonderful – due in no small measure to your involvement. We walked for 16 days (with 2 rest days) – not a single problem the whole trip. A memorable experience for all the right reasons.

This has been a fantastic holiday and extermely well organised by Mickledore from all perspectives. Leaving you to arrange the accommodation, luggage drop offs and access took all the hassle out of booking the holiday ourselves, particularly as we came across many stranded walkers who had great difficulties at the pinch points in villages where rooms and eating places are few. Well done.

Thank you so much for your attention in 2014. We will have no hesitation in using you in the future.

Just to let you know that we returned from our 2 day continuation of the Coast to Coast yesterday evening and would like to say that we had a wonderful time. The accommodation at the George Hotel in Orton was excellent, owners and staff very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, in fact if anything it was too hot! As usual, transport of luggage and taxi transfer from Kirkby Stephen to Orton and back again the next day went very smoothly. We are looking forward to doing another weekend at the end of September. Thank you once again.
