(22/9/20) Two bikes hired for the day. Excellent service at the shop, with a lot of care and attention given even though they were busy. Very friendly. Easy to register and pay (you will need to hand in some ID). Pump, lock provided and also the added security that they would be able to come out if there was a problem en route. There are copies of routes available with plenty of variation in distance and terrain/surface. We opted for the Villages, Views and Vales (tarmac on quiet country lanes, mainly) in the morning and the Deer Sanctuary (+New Forest Inn detour) in the afternoon. This second route had more gravel and steeper inclines. We also had a Garmin route guide on the handlebars and this worked well until we took a detour towards the New Forest Inn --- it did re-calibrate later on. If you are unfamiliar with the paths and roads, this instruments eliminates the need to constantly stop for map reading and worth the expense (£10 hire). Overall a highly recommended day out and benefitting from the bikes and support provided by Forest Leisure Cycling. In fact, for our next trip we will hire bikes from them rather than taking our own on the back of the car.

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.

Easy and really responsive booking via email. Karen turned up at our hotel (Spot in the Woods, Woodlands) with bikes, helmets and trail map) exactly as booked. Really good fun cycling on nearby well marked, woodland gravel trails. Payment easy on the spot, and collected bikes without further need for checking out. Fun and fantastic service.

The most friendly staff ever! Hiring the cycles for us was easy and straight forward. We were able to rent out two bikes for a reasonable cost and had a lovely cycle around the forest tracks. They even gave us a special map! Highly recommend this place.

I booked a paddle board lesson and joined a small group on a lovely sunny afternoon. Will was a good and patient teacher, the equipment is excellent and the location perfect for beginners. A few days later I ventured out again and although I hadn't booked a lesson just wanted to hire the equipment, Rory gave us some tuition and tips for a better experience. The guys are really friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend if you want to learn paddle boarding or just to hire the boards.
