Client Feedback

Never having hiked for six days in a row, and never having been in the Lake District before, we didn’t quite know what to expect. Despite occasional blisters we came through our experience with an appreciation for the Lake District and the people who live there that only trekking the long miles is likely to provide. In addition, staying in B and B’s was a great way to lighten (literally) our load along the way, and the excellent work of Mickledore in arranging our lodgings made our trip preparations much less demanding. They were extremely responsive to all questions we asked via emails in the months leading up to our walking holiday. We would not hesitate to use their services again and we are looking forward to completing our Coast to Coast walk as soon as possible.

We would like to thank you for your efforts to organise our recent Coast to Coast walk. We were very pleased with your accommodation choices, and delighted that the luggage transfer arrangements worked seamlessly. The whole trip was wonderful – due in no small measure to your involvement. We walked for 16 days (with 2 rest days) – not a single problem the whole trip. A memorable experience for all the right reasons.

This has been a fantastic holiday and extermely well organised by Mickledore from all perspectives. Leaving you to arrange the accommodation, luggage drop offs and access took all the hassle out of booking the holiday ourselves, particularly as we came across many stranded walkers who had great difficulties at the pinch points in villages where rooms and eating places are few. Well done.

Thank you so much for your attention in 2014. We will have no hesitation in using you in the future.

Just to let you know that we returned from our 2 day continuation of the Coast to Coast yesterday evening and would like to say that we had a wonderful time. The accommodation at the George Hotel in Orton was excellent, owners and staff very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, in fact if anything it was too hot! As usual, transport of luggage and taxi transfer from Kirkby Stephen to Orton and back again the next day went very smoothly. We are looking forward to doing another weekend at the end of September. Thank you once again.

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.
