Client Feedback

Hello all at Mickledore – thank you, we had an excellent holiday. Helped, no doubt, by superb weather (only about one hour of light rain in our entire 12 days, otherwise very good walking weather with clear all round views. As a Yorkshire lass, I can confidently say this is almost unheard of!). As ever, you did an excellent job with all our arrangements and everything worked like clockwork. Very high quality accommodation in the main, and some excellent eating recommendations. Also we would be grateful if you could please pass on our thanks to the baggage carriers – totally relied upon, and totally reliable! We are now thinking about our next year’s trip – probably the WHW.

After sixteen days on the path and two rest days the two of us reached robin hood’s bay. the walk was a great experience: wonderful landscapes, nice and interesting walkers from Australia, the USA, New Zealand, Germany, Canada, England and Holland on the way. You all have organized us a very good tour and good places to stay. We did already recommend Mickledore Travel and we’ll certainly do that again. Let us tell you that all the hosts we talked to praised your organization as the best one they deal with. We’re looking forward to contact you again. The Cotswold, Scotland or Wales might be one of the next long distance walk destinations next year.

Dear Mickledore Team, Thanks so much for a wonderful walking holiday. I very much relished the Coast-to-Coast trek, which went without a hitch, and so enjoyed the warm English hospitality at every turn. The itinerary you planned for me worked out brilliantly and I thought all the B&Bs and hotels into which you booked me were first-rate. I also really lucked out with the weather, which was sunny and dry for nearly the entire 14 days. I know you don’t control the weather, but it cooperated in excellent fashion as if you had! Well done! Thank you again, and I will certainly consider another walking holiday with you in the future and recommend you to others.

The trip was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. It also didn’t hurt that we had good weather! Your choice of B&B’s were excellent and the luggage service worked well. This was one of the best vacations we’ve had in our 30 years and hope to travel with you again in 2016 – Scotland! Thanks so much.

We would like to thank you all for a truly memorable experience and for all your help both before and during the trip. Our 17 day walking schedule was ideal for our age group and fitness. Our longest day (Patterdale to Shap) was done in conditions ideal for walking – we were lucky! We will have a good rest and if we are walking in the UK again will not hesitate to contact you.

We just returned to London from Kirkby Stephen after a spectacular 83 miles on the C2C trail. All your arrangements for us were excellent. Each of the accommodations was perfect and gave us just what we needed (usually a cuppa and a hot shower). Our bag was always there to greet us. We even give you credit for the amazing weather – no more than an occasional short period of “highland mist”. Thank you for your attention to all the details and for making the past week so pleasant and memorable.

Dear Mickledore Team, we had an absolutely fantastic trip!! In fact, we are back home in the US now, drinking a big cup of British tea, trying to hold on a little longer to any remnant of Yorkshire.

It didn’t hurt that we did the entire walk with NO RAIN (how did you manage that??), but I truly believe we would have enjoyed it anyway. You left no stone unturned, Mickledore. I do believe you covered every aspect of planning.

We were pleased with the maps and guidebook (it seemed to be the one everyone was using) and with our holiday pack. Very thorough. Great to have the photos of the B and B’s along with the directions. I had to chuckle when the service information included even Public Toilets. Quite helpful, really.

Your e-mail responses were prompt and helpful. Your website is attractive and enticing. It is one of the reasons I chose Mickledore in the first place.

Overall, we would rate our level of satisfaction with Mickledore as excellent. We would (and will) recommend you to our friends and yes, we would use your services again.

I had a wonderful walking holiday on the Coast to Coast trail. The booklet and maps you provided were excellent, not to mention detailed information concerning overnight lodging and town amenities.

I’ve never had it so easy when it came to planning and logistics. You did it all for me, from booking my accommodations to providing route information. All I had to concern myself with was the actual walking. The B&B’s were great, the packed lunches were well done, the scenery was fantastic, and everyone I met was really friendly.

Completing the C2C walk was an amazing way to experience Northern England. You not only made it possible for me to have this experience, you made it absolutely worry-free. I know that took a lot of behind-the-scenes work on your part. I appreciate your attention to detail.

I was also really pleased with your responsiveness when it came to answering my email inquiries and arranging for payment. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Mickledore to anyone wanting to experience a supported walking holiday.

Would you use Mickledore again? Absolutely! We were thrilled with Mickledore’s communication and service.

We have now used you twice – though we last year said to each other: ‘We will never do it again. That was too hard’ we changed our minds, because there were so many things/places we didn’t see properly. Therefore we decided to do the walk again – and of course our wish was to stay most of the same places as last year. You did a good job and made it for us. Thank you for your help when one of us was ill and not able to do the walk over the mountains in the Lakes.
