Accommodation for bikers & cyclists accommodation

The whole experience was hugely rewarding and relaxing. The place is beautiful and the hosts are so warm and welcoming. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to tell all my friends to go! (more)Laura Lane

The traditional barbecue Nick and Dasha have prepared to us with Czech sausages coming from local farmers was really great. Being at the fireplace outside each one of us learning how to get the sausages at their best, is still one of the remarkable moments of our holidays, even for Manuel (our 7 year old son). (more)Pedro Moiteiro

The skiing was a highlight – downhill at the resorts and Nick’s impromptu cross-country skiing lesson which was good enough to set us off on a 8km cross-country track the next day. Marvellous! (more)David O Connell

We had a lovely family suite which was spacious and well equipped. The pool is also lovely - quite large and pristine... (more)Julie Mills

The blend of marvellous scenery, a fabulous place to stay and relax, and the hospitality of our hosts (including great food and great local advice on walking, parking points, activities etc). (more)Russell Chant

Really superb... The beautiful scenery was the most memorable part of the holiday. (more)Bridget Waller

It was fantastic. We read several books but at the same time felt we improved our Spanish and successfully immersed ourselves in this tiny corner of the world. We loved the relaxing ambience and feeling like we were friends or family staying. (more)Jude and ken Mckenzie

A really relaxing holiday. Surrounded by beautiful countryside. Staying in homely accommodation with a cosy wood burner...and a private terrace to soak up the sun. (more)Diane Clough

Gosh, difficult to say which part out of so many! I am reviewing the holiday five months later and still remember everything about our stay here. The delicious food and warm hospitality from the hosts, the beautiful scenery and the long walks will stay with me forever, I think. (more)Bill Reid

The kindness of our hosts, the nice balanced way they shared and included us in their individual enthusiasm and warmth, the pertinent information about local and Piemonte region, without coming too close were most memorable. Excellent holiday. (more)Anna Welsing

Whilst we have many very happy memories of our recent 5 weeks in Europe all involved voted that the week was 'the' most memorable. This was primarily a result of the passion that both Marla and Fabrizio bring to the running of the accommodation and to ensuring the comfort and enjoyment of their guests. Of course this professionalism is ably supported by the fantastic scenery and interesting history of the area. (more)Neal Dalgliesh

Staying in this farm you may feel you are staying at home. The farm owners are simple and friendly. (more)chanuan ratanawaraha

The wonderful breakfasts that Rose cooked were made up of local produce and tasted delicious. Rose is a very good jam maker too! (more)Amanda Porter

The highlights were the warm welcome, wonderful cream tea on arrival. Very child friendly - Rose went out of her way to find books and puzzles for the children to play with. (more)Andrea Wilkes

We loved the cafe in the woods and the steam train at the bottom of the hill....9 out of 10 . Very peaceful and private with fabulous views of the mountains. (more)Katherine Dukes

It was wonderful and we would love to return. (more)Kathryn Mongan Rallis

A peaceful place to be with fabulous views... Very good, well cared cottage which has a homely and comfortable feel. (more)Jeannie Sutherland

Memorable parts? We were intrigued to stay in a house made of straw bales and to see how recycling/ reuse can be put into practice and good effect.- we were not disappointed! We found the photo albums showing the building of the house really interesting. Tips? If intending to take a trip by train whilst there be aware that station car park can be very busy. Local benefits? We shopped locally, and found local residents / shop staff to be very helpful and friendly. Overall... (more)C Sharkey

The most memorable part was cycling round tiny villages in the French countryside past fields of sunflowers, stopping off for some well earned coffee and pastries along the way! (more)Katy Fifield

This place is perfect for your French holiday: lots of things to do locally, excellent location for day trips to the loire valley attractions, soooo relaxing if you don't want to do anything at all! (more)Laura Taglioni

A great start to a long tour in France, very peaceful and relaxing. Superb facilities for children. Knowledgeable hosts striking correct balance between interaction, advice and privacy. Ready to go the extra mile. (more)Claire Seager

The quietness and natural beauty of Mont Dore in November was the most memorable part of the holiday (more)Mary Cherian

Our three teenage children claimed it was the best holiday we've had in years...that's high praise indeed! Relaxed, easy to find something to enjoy in stunning surroundings, with a friendly, quality service offered by attentive hosts. (more)Sarah Brennan

Great! A lovely place to go... Snow arrived as we did. Brilliant hosts and comfortable accommodation. (more)Cath Marchbanks

Wonderfully appointed cottage that more than lived up to our expectations. The weather was unusually mixed for August, but there is so much to see and do - plus relaxing indoors was such bliss - that we never felt at a loose end. Wonderful - thank you so much. Looking forward to visiting again I hope! (more)Norma Foster

Excellent...hiring bikes was the most memorable part. (more)Peter Ince

Very enjoyable... We really enjoyed a trip to a lake called 'Hintersee' nearby as it wasn't very touristy. Try to take the path less trodden. (more)Ruth Kitchener

Cycling and walking in the Bavarian forest was the most memorable part...An excellent holiday thoroughly enjoyed by both adults and children aged between 9 and 16 years. (more)Diane Jones

Our day trip to Prague was just fantastic and could not have been improved....Wonderful!! (more)Susan Smith

Excellent accommodation with very helpful hosts. We came back much fitter having not driven for 11 days! (more)Caroline Fogarty

Memorable parts? I thought my hosts were amazingly helpful. The house was lovely . There was lots to do in the local area and I loved the walking. Fiona and Gareth were on hand for advice and the emphasis on Sports was very interesting. Tips? I had my bag stolen in Girona. I think it was unusual in the city but I would take care not to carry everything around with you .take copies of passports and have emergency numbers at home. I found the local people including the police really... (more)judith cockrell

Most memorable was how perfect the accommodation was. Clean, warm, cheery, brilliantly laid out for wheelchair users. The whirlpool bath was fab, especially when using the eco friendly toiletries supplied. Scenery wonderful, something for everyone to enjoy. (more)Naomi Dunn

The welcoming, warmth of the owners and the cottage as we stepped in out of the cold. We loved the views offered from all sides. (more)Rahila Hussain

The most memorable part of our holiday was the peace & tranquility and the great hospitality from the owners... Absolutely fantastic and just what we needed. (more)Catherine Wilde

Memorable parts? The scenery was tremendous and the weather cooperated beautifully in May month. Combining stays at pleasant easy to find bed and breakfasts with full days of hiking the Offa Dyke trail made for a memorable holiday. We have special memories of the bed and breakfast outside Knighton and the unique quality of the town Hay on Wye. Tips? Expect lots of climbs and descents on the route and planning the next nights destination and accommodation is possible at each nightly... (more)Ethel Todd

Memorable parts? The most memorable part was actually getting a rear wheel puncture down a lovely country lane and not being able to get the back wheel off to repair it! However, equally as memorable was the fantastic Welsh hospitality when a couple looked after our bikes while another lady - totally unknown to us - took us back to our accom to collect our car. Really friendly people! Tips? Be more prepared than we were!! We went on a cycling and walking weekend and thought we were... (more)Monica Stephens

Memorable parts? Making sure that I drove slowly enough NOT to drive into some of the sheep, cattle, deer that like to sit and ruminate on the roads! The glorious autumn sun on the turning leaves. Not New England, but very beautiful. Ambling along the white sandy beaches and having them to myself, more or less! Tips? Make sure that you add in travelling time from your accommodation to the ferry. Ensure that you don't have to get up at some awful, un-holiday like time of the morning... (more)Sonia Jones

Memorable parts? A totally chill-out experience - a comfortable, luxurious cabin in a well laid out garden - definitely stands out as a special place to stay. Located in lovely countryside with several options for walking locally. Martin and Sharon who built and run house are a lovely couple and really made us feel at home. The menu for those not wanting to cook, is imaginative and varied and our meal, shared with Martin and Sharon was excellent. We visited when there was snow on the ground... (more)Graham Dalby

Our stay was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, David and Jackie. From the welcoming tea and biscuits on arrival, to our departure, all was everything you could possibly wish for. The setting is absolutely stunning, with views over the owners farmland. The accommodation is spotless, and it obvious from the many nice touches, that a lot of thought and effort has gone into every aspect of this very personal B&B. (more)Peter Carney

Memorable parts? Everything! We loved being surrounded by historic French villages; staying in a beautiful rustic (but VERY comfortable) 19th century stone cottage; the warmth and approachability of our hosts Nicole and Alex Crawford; and being spoilt for choice when arranging our daily activities. We went for lovely long walks; visited outdoor markets; ate wonderful, good value food at local restaurants; explored castles, chateaus and other historic sites; people-watched from snug, friendly... (more)Jane Lewis

Had a wonderful time, will definitely return, I am torn between telling everyone about the place and maybe not being able to book in because of my enthusiasm! (more)Marilyn Marston

Fantastic! Most memorable were the lovely hosts who picked us up at the railway station and delivered us to another station after our stay. (more)Denise McDonald

Really excellent, I've already passed the B&B details on to friends and will most definitely be returning. (more)Adrienne Egan

Excellent. The location is superb - excellent for exploring the Beara Peninsula, or heading north to Iveragh Peninsula. Kenmare is a beautiful town with lots of excellent eateries and there is stunning countryside everywhere you look. (more)Lisa Gerrard

The location was beautiful, the house stunning, the town of Kenmare a real treat, the breakfast a whole food feast and Anne's manner is a perfect balance of trust and hospitality. (more)Kate Grubb

Memorable parts? This is a wonderful hotel. It is a small hotel but run very efficiently and we most enjoyed our time there. There were always free loungers by the pool and although there were a number of guests we often had the pool to ourselves. It was the best pool I have used for a few years. The most memorable part of our stay were the evening meals which were buffet style but of excellent quality providing an opportunity to taste different dishes. Tips? Book half board if... (more)Linda Scott

Memorable parts? All the wildlife but particularly the bamboo rafting and trekking combination. Watching a great hornbill soar over the tree tops was truly magical. Tips? Be open minded and don't automatically expect to see any wildlife! There is simply no comparison with, say, private game reserves in South Africa. There you are almost guaranteed to see creatures, but in a slightly contrived way. It is almost impossible to believe that huge elephants can become effectively invisible,... (more)Kate Tudor

Seeing the storks in the fields and on specially built nest platforms; the large size of the property we were staying in; the fact that we seemed to be the only tourists there; and the public swimming pool at Karsinkabarca...Wonderful - would do it again - and that says something coming from us. (more)David Plowman

The most memorable parts were the surrounding countryside; relaxing at the cottage and the garden; the caves; our walks (especially walking to Slovakia); trying to pronounce our shopping list in Hungarian; butterflies and wild flowers in the meadow... (more)Teresa Mikalauskas

by cycing and walking to explore as much as we could use of fuel was minimal.....very exciting and adventurous (more)Stuart Wright

Excellent, a really rejuvenating break, but a few more days would have been nice! (more)Linda Perkins

Look out for the red squirrel in the tree outside your bedroom. (more)Andrew and Lucy Warren

The Hermitage is a wonderful location for a holiday, the accommodation is extremely comfortable and there are lots of little touches that make it special. It is the kind of place you can visit at any time of year. (more)Bridget Ashley

We would like to go back in the summer and make use of increased daylight. The children loved it. They could romp in the woods safely - as the crow flies they were very close to the house, yet they felt as though they were in the wilds. (more)Alyson Telfer

The accommodation was superb with great views and lovely countryside right on your doorstep to explore. (more)Kirstin Goodwin

Most memorable was leaving the car alone for 2 full days and exploring that area of the Peak District on foot only, tiring but works up an appetite... Excellent! (more)Ciara McGinley

It's beem another lovely Autumn and the limitless number of walks to take in the Peaks coloured landscape is breathtaking (more)Jo Potter

Just to say the farm is a real gem. We were only there for 2 nights so not a lot to report - just that it's a real quality place set amidst beautiful walking country - just the place for a quiet retreat with excellent eating places. (more)Liz Rollinson

The extremely comfortable bed, great plumbing in bathroom ... and delicious, generous breakfast, cooked to perfection were the most memorable parts (more)Ana Sanchez-Martin

Great hotel, is lovely, very friendly/ lovely foods and nice touches such as a lovely complimentary pot of tea or coffee in the lounge when you come in. (more)Sandra Woods

We had a great walk, right from the door of the B+B, to the pretty village of Troutbeck, then up (and up some more) over Wansfell with fantastic views in all directions. Friendly owners, excellent breakfast with lovely homemade jam. (more)Lucie McKenzie

Memorable parts? Walking the fabulous Quirang loop trail. Tips? Leave enough time for driving the single track roads on beautiful Skye. Getting around takes longer than you'd think from the map. Local benefits? The b and b owners are careful with resources. Overall rating? I'd happily go back to Skye for more walking (and eating - the quality of the restaurants in Breakish and Carbost surprised us). (more)Jennifer Duschenes

Memorable parts? The 6th Vulcanic Blues festival in Mont Dore was fantastic. It meant that we walked in the mountains every day and listened to great music every evening - sometimes morning and afternoon too! Couldn't recommend both the walking and the festival enough - they also have 2 other festivals so check them out too. One in July and one during the ski season I think. It made a lovely break to be somewhere remote and having a really social time - out after midnight! Tips? The... (more)Candy McLeavy
