We have very much enjoyed our C2C walk. You have arranged everything excellently. Most B&B addresses were good to excellent. The good weather has helped very much. We want to thank you for the impeccable organisation which has made this for us an unforgetable holiday.

Coast to Coast, July 2013

We really enjoyed the variety of where we stayed – pubs, farm and small hotel etc. We felt we met so many interesting people. Bag transfer was perfect – always there waiting for us. Thank you for a great trip!

In all the accommodation we stayed we were always made to feel wwelcome. The breakfasts were always good, as were the evening meals, and rooms clean and warm. We had a very memorable holiday and look forward to next year!

We had a really great holiday – everything was so very well organised – it was always reassuring to find our suitcases in the guest house/ hotel foyer! Holiday planning and holiday itself was utterly hassle free.

Thank you for arranging our Coast to Coast holiday. We had a great time and everything went smoothly. We were very impressed with the quality of our accommodation and the professional service offered by Mickledore.

Coast to Coast, June 2013

We had an absolutely wonderful and very memorable walk, and thoroughly enjoyed every B&B you booked, as well as the handy baggage transport. We have already recommended Mickledore to fellow walkers and those who have enquired about the walk, and if, as we hope, we do another walk in the future, we’re almost certain to book through you again. I’d add that in talking to other walkers, one of the things that put Mickledore head and shoulders above the rest was your superlative customer support and prompt responses to all our questions.

My friend and I returned from our Coast to Coast holiday and we would both like to say what a wonderful time we had, despite getting drenched on the first 2 days! The rest of our week was lovely sunshine. We met so many different people on the route and ended up walking the last 3 days with 2 American guys which was great fun.

All the B&B’s and hotels were excellent and the owners very friendly and helpful. We could quite happily have stayed longer at the Old Water View in Patterdale! Thank you for arranging these wonderful places and for making our holiday so memorable. We will be doing the second half next year.

Overall, I found the holiday great, memorable and challenging (the wild weather certainly played it’s part!). Your organisation was first class in every way and I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. .

I found navigation surprisingly tricky at some points (and I rate myself a pretty good navigator/map reader) – the Coast to Coast Path Guide you supplied was absolutely invaluable as an aid to navigation and a great source of other info.

Equipment wise, I was very glad I had a walking pole on the extremely windy days – would have really struggled without it. I think it’s a real safety aid in the exposed Cumbria stage. I was also glad I had a compass at times.

Found Orton an unexpectedly interesting village to stop at, the accommodation brilliant and the walking stage from Orton to Kirkby particularly satisfying with the scenery a lovely contrast to the earlier stages.

Coast to Coast, May 2013

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.

Another excellent holiday, thanks to Alfred Wainwright, the rain gods….except the last day…and to MIckledore! It is so reassuring to know that at the end of each day there will be a welcoming and comfortable place for the night, as well as information on places to eat. Moreover, that there are back-up arrangements for no -shows. Also that your luggage will arrive safely. Directions and maps and guidebook are also excellent. Now that I have finished the C2C, I am keen to find some more walks and I will turn to MIckledore first. Once again, many thanks!
