Client Feedback

  • Would you use Mickledore again? For sure, we will probably be looking for another “adventure” We really enjoyed the ‘Hadrian’s Wall’ trip and your arrangements were excellent. We are already wondering where to go on our next Mickledore adventure.

  • 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!

  • "I would like to take this opportunity to commend the staff of Mickledore for their superior professionalism and client relations. I have the highest degree of satisfaction concerning my dealings with Mickledore. I would also like to express my special appreciation of the timely, efficient and warm communications from Fiona. It felt like I was talking to a friend when making my travel arrangements and posing questions. Everything concerning my trip went smoothly. My bag always arrived in a timely manner at my accommodations. The proprietors of the accommodations were welcoming and generous in their hospitality. I also appreciated the information concerning travel connections such as bus schedules and train travel websites. It was also helpful to have a list of the services that could be found at various locals along the way such as pharmacies, shops and banks. I would not hesitate to use the company again in any plans that I might have to walk other paths in Britain."
