Reasonable pricing, but most importantly excellent bikes in truly superb working order. I hired a regular mountain bike (they have options for more expensive bikes) with a trailer for our dog.. I was given a Giant mountain bike and it was in excellent working order with crisp perfectly configured gear changes. The trailer was a burley unit and was light and kept the dog -nervous at first _ inside and enclosed, but with a muslin cover so highly breathable. There was a rain cover too which we - luckily - didn't use. My partner hired a Trek e-bike mountain bike and it was amazing, must have been very nearly new and fantastic to ride.

A really good day out, with something for everyone from 6 to 66! Different family members enjoyed different parts of the site. The kids especially loved the playground and elevated train, Dad loved Top Gear & Cars from films, Mum loved the Palace, Grandad loved all the cars and motorbikes and Nanny loved the Abbey and gardens!

Very pleasant experience, i've always enjoyed doing tours of historical houses experiencing how people lived back in the day. The staff are dressed as they would've been back then and are very helpful, polite and have quite a bit of historical knowledge of the Palace.

Enjoy being by the water, watch the boats and yachts cruising by, enjoy a boat trip up the estuary towards the Solent and then a refreshing drink and food at the pub. The workers cottages are very quaint and it has the museum there too.
