Doing a family cycling holiday was great!
Our favourite day was the third day of cycling which took us from Twice Brewed mostly downhill through the countryside. The weather was great, the cycling was lovely, and the scenery was beautiful.

Excellent!
The accommodation was fab – the lady at Brookside was so helpful in taking us and picking us up from the pub; the room at Twice Brewed was lovely and big (useful when you have a teenager who likes to spread the contents of her bag….) and Keelman’s was huge, plenty of room to dry out soggy kit and the restaurant was vey reasonably priced! I was also impressed by the advice from the rep and the back up provided. It helped that the route was relatively easy and not too far from civilisation so finding lunches/rest stops etc wasn’t a problem.

Good!
We all really enjoyed the experience of the ride and the quality of the accommodation, so definitely recommend it to family and friends and would like to return.
