Sam and the whole team looked after us last week. We hired two bikes: a Trek full suspension mountain bike for 6 days and a Trek full suspension e-bike for half a day. They were good bikes, we’ll maintained and team always happy to adjust and replace parts as needed. The 6 day hire bike had a new chain, new cassette and new brake pads. The team were knowledgeable and friendly. Great job! ????????‍♀️????

Excellent tour and fascinating facts about the making of the alcohol and the gin flavourings - well worth a visit - lunch is interesting as you choose your own from a deli fridge and they cut up the bread for a picnic at the tables!

Stopped at the wee cafe for a cuppa as the other half had forgotten the flask... was provided excellent service by (I think their name was zooey). They were friendly and made an excellent coffee without burning the milk. Covid safe and definitely hit the spot.
