Jim Phelan, NSW, Australia

We had a great holiday, exceeded everyones expectations, scenery was fantastic and the changes during the day & over the various days. Everyone made it, bags always arrived, weather was fairly good, had rain post lunch some days but we were fitted out, track was far better than we were lead to believe with bogs only an issue on two days. All the places we stayed at had Wi–fi & that made it easy to stay in contact with home & work if required, great breakfasts every day, lunches were similar to school days but allowed us to keep to plan. We loved the 5 course English dinner at Scafell Hotel and the accommodation was overall very good, we got a great reception every time. The suggestion to have a rest day in Richmond was perfect as there was heaps to do. What surprised us was the prices four food drink etc – far cheaper than we pay in Australia – the standard program was drinks local ales at 6.00pm, dinner at 7.00pm, breakfast at 7.30am, gone at 8.30am. We became very British with Steak & ale Pies, Cumberland Sausage, fish & chips etc – we were doing plenty of miles so could enjoy these luxuries. We found Mickledore excellent, feedback & organisation was first class.

Client Feedback

This was a perfect holiday; everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything except the walking. Distances covered each day were very suitable for us, neither too long nor too short. A memorable experience which I would love to repeat elsewhere next time I’m holidaying in UK.

Everything you outlined for the trip happened like clockwork. Honestly, the experience was so good I wish you’d add holidays in the U.S. Mickledore will be the first place I consult on my next walking holiday.
