David Smith, Nova Scotia, Canada

Judy and I had such a positive experience with all bed and breakfast locations. The rooms were spacious, clean and bright and many had stunning views. Our initial thought when we received our itinerary was “why Tynemouth” but after a stay it was clearly a great jumping off point. We met friendly walkers, pleasant host and wandered through great scenery and of course the variety of pubs and local ale was not to be missed. Our B & B host were helpful at every turn and quick with local knowledge. Each packed lunch was nutritious with sufficient energy boost to keep you going. And, to comment on our breakfast would only leave me lost for words attempting to convey the variety and quantity with which we were sent on our way. For any novice walker this is a journey to begin a lifetime of hiking pleasure and one leaving you wanting to find more locations to bound over.

The staff at Mickledore truly know the walks you sponsor. It was an absolute pleasure having had the opportunity to have had Mickledore looking after our vacation.
