We booked the activity weekend for my husband's sixtieth, and I think it was the thoughtful touches that made the difference. The instructors took care to explain the kayaking properly, the lodge was warm and comfortable, and the transfers from the station were arranged without any bother at all.

Getting hold of anyone about a change to our dates took a few days though, and I had to chase it twice. The trip itself to the Dales was fine and the route notes were clear enough, but I'd hoped for a quicker reply.
Read moreCompared with the larger operators I looked at, this worked out cheaper for the same type of cycling trip and didn't cut corners on the bikes or the accommodation. We paid a little less than the others quoted and got a proper mechanic on hand each morning, which was worth a lot. The pick up points were where we'd expected and the transfers were on time.

Compared with the other sites I tried, this was simpler to use and the price was a touch lower. The customer service team took a couple of days to answer a query about changing dates, which was the only real irritation.
This is a good deal for a long weekend away, and the itinerary was clear enough to follow without fuss. The only niggle was that the deposit took a few days to confirm, so I had to chase it once.
Needed a cheap weekend away with my mates and found this on a whim. Booking was quick, the group rate was decent, but the confirmation email got stuck in spam so we nearly missed it.
I've done a fair few cycling weekends in the Lakes and this was well put together. The bike hire was included and the bikes were properly serviced. The only gripe is the deposit took a while to refund after we got back, but the rest was spot on.
Compared with the other firms I looked at for the Pyrenees, this one was a little dearer, though I felt the extra care was reasonable. The route was well planned and the guides were excellent, but it took several days for them to reply to my question about the luggage arrangements.
