REVIEWS

Excellent service- Lauren listened to exactly what I was looking for and made some very helpful suggestions. The service could not have been better

18 May 2024

I am at the beginning of the booking process. So far everything has been ok. There was some confusion about the insurance position in the event of theft or damage to the bicycle, but this was cleared up to my satisfaction.
The sales and admin staff I have dealt with so far have been pleasant and helpful, and service has been good and timely. Telephone answering times are good.

Martin Wyatt, 14 Nov 2023

We both enjoyed our trip to Amalfi. Hotel was great although at first were a bit disappointed staying in the annex. However the food and staff were fantastic, we were really looked after. The walks were varied, were pretty demanding with the long stretches of steps. The walk via the nature reserve was our highlight, off the beaten track, stunning backdrop.
