Mickledore Travel recently handled my arrangements for a 6 day, 44-mile self-guided walking tour…read morealong the Thames River Path. They're in the business of arranging walking/hiking tours and their web site is fun to use in helping you whittle down your options. Once you decide on the number of days you wish to hike and the type of terrain you wish to hike in, Mickledore's web site will show you your options. When you have questions, their staff will quickly respond via email or phone. When you've settled on a hike and made a down payment to Mickledore they'll make your arrangements which include lodging and luggage transport along your hiking route. As your travel date approaches and you make your final payment, Mickledore will send you the details of your trip: dates, lodging, maps, luggage tags, and meals when applicable. Depending on where you've chosen to hike you could possibly handle all of this on your own but Mickledore takes you out of the planning business and sometimes that's worth paying for. To say that this hiking tour was one of my best travel experiences ever isn't an understatement. This rubs off on my feelings about Mickledore in a positive way. The services they provided on this particular trip weren't perfect but I so enjoyed my trip that I'd consider using them again in the future. Here's the details: * Mickledore booked 6 nights of lodging in 5 different locations. Of those, 3 were great or good, 1 was just okay, and 1 was bad. I provided post-trip feedback to Mickledore, as they requested. The route I chose is not as traveled as some of the more popular trails; for this reason I think Mickledore may not have had great data on some of the places they booked me into. * Each morning, your luggage must be downstairs and ready for transport by 8:30 a.m. Each afternoon, when checking in at a new place of lodging, my luggage was waiting. This part went off without a hitch. * In the UK, each place of lodging included a full English breakfast. In 2 places Mickledore had arranged for bag lunches to be included as well. I would not want the bag lunches again. I was hiking through areas that were easy to find food and drink and it is that I prefer. * Mickledore provided a book (outlining the details of the trail), a water-safe map of the trail, printed pages of places to eat/public restrooms/emergency service info and the like. They also have an app on which you can see much of your trip info. The trail I hiked was easy to follow and I'm good at searching out my preferred dining options. The only part of this that I found useful (and mostly just because it was interesting) was the map. * Although they don't verify it, Mickledore requires that travelers get trip insurance. I did and thankfully had no need to use it. Not including trip insurance, the services Mickledore provided for this trip (including the 6 nights of lodging and the luggage transport plus everything else mentioned) ran $967 per person which wasn't cheap but also wasn't at all unreasonable. Mickeldore Travel isn't the only company specializing in organizing self-guided walking tours but in this space, the offerings are similar. If I were planning another trip like this I'd again consider using them.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here one night when visiting Windermere and the hotel room itself was…read morelovely. We stayed in the Bella suite which was decorated beautifully, and had a nice hot tub. The hotel was clean, warm and the staff were welcoming. There was also complimentary water and molten brown toiletries which was nice, a pool, steam room and spa. The room also gives a hair dryer, coffee and tea making facilities, mini fridge and robes. However, we found that for such an expensive hotel it lacked the bare minimum that any 2 or 3 star should have; the wifi was very bad, it was so slow that not even Netflix would play properly. The hotel said Netflix would already be logged in, however it wasn't and we had to ring for the password but when we logged in, it said there were too many users on the hotel account. Breakfast was poor, there was hardly anything on the buffet besides bread, fruit and cereals. There wasn't anything continental though, and the menu was limited to just four things. I asked for boiled eggs and smoked salmon and I just got one boiled egg... I would have at least expected two. It was comparable to a 3 star London hotel breakfast. Although the room, decor, atmosphere, staff and facilities were lovely, the bare basics of proper wifi in this day and age and a nice breakfast were lacking for such an otherwise nice hotel. It had potential, but lacked in essentials making me only give it 3 stars, especially for the price where these are expected.
