We have had a great trip cycling around Rhode Island. We loved Kalarvarda, nice empty roads, nice restaurants along the beach and a nice little cafe in the market square. The B&B was in a lovely location and w were given a room with a balcony which was a nice touch. In Rhodes, the B&B gave us their best room with private balcony, which was a nice touch, good location and very nice historic setting. (Oct 2020)
Just a quick note to say THANKS! I’m wrapping up in Pitlochry, heading for lunch after my morning ride. It was a truly spectacular week. Plenty of challenges on the longer, more rugged rides, and thrilling scenery everywhere. I also had really great weather. Cool breezes, (occasional) blasting sun, and (occasional) drops of rain. It was a trip two years in the making, and it was worth the wait. Thanks for your help and patience. (2022)
All 3 hotels were comfortable and welcoming. The route finding notes were very well laid out and easy to use. Thanks to you and your colleagues for your organization of the holiday, and we would certainly consider your company again for similar holidays. (Jan 2020)
