| CAREFULLY SOURCED ACCOMMODATION |
Like many others, you are welcome to come to our area for a cycling holiday, choose your routes and arrange your own accommodation. If you use our service, the accommodation on your cycling holiday is specially selected to ensure the highest quality and friendliness. Most of our accommodation places are in small towns or villages where other services are available. We are aware that a hearty breakfast is often a high priority for cyclists as well as the ability to obtain a packed lunch if required. All accommodation will have suitable cycle storage and drying facilities. Where possible we use premises that are part of the the VisitScotland "Cyclists Welcome" scheme, as long as they also come up to our other standards of excellence. |
