Top marks to John and team for an outstanding operation. We (family of four, all fairly keen cyclists) hired bikes for the day and were really impressed by the quality and condition of the bikes themselves, and with the communication and administration behind the hire. John and his colleagues gave us really helpful advice on routes and destinations and we all had a great day heading over to Freshwater Bay, up to the Needles, and down the west coast of the island back towards Yarmouth. As the website says, if you're driving to Yarmouth to pick up your bikes, park in the public car park and walk the 5 minutes to the (old) station - there's definitely no parking there!

This is a lovely little attraction in a unique building which is well worth a visit. Lots of really interesting reptiles on display in immaculate well scaped habitats and a very unusual nocturnal room where torches are provided to see all of the inhabitants. The highlight for us was the 70+ rescued turtles and terrapins housed in a large pool in the middle. A pot of turtle food can be bought from the well stocked gift shop along with snake skins and various pocket money toys. The owner is lovely and very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and all in all this place is well worth a visit.
