Customer Reviews
Loved our trip. Good hosts.
The local support were very organized and communicative. The b&bs were all great. Some routes were a little to busy, but may be no way around it. There were some slightly larger villages that might have been better for our 2 nite stays with more to do after our rides.
We rented electric bikes for this trip and had problems with the batteries running out. The first day was over 3000 feet of climbing. We found the roads had too much traffic for our liking. The hotels varied from very nice to below average. The countryside was beautiful and the English people very friendly.
The scenery and accommodation were great. However, be warned the number and steepness of hills were underestimated.
The Cotswolds by bicycle was a wonderful experience. They had selected charming B&Bs that had good facilities and pleasant owners. The biking routes were well chosen to have little to essentially no traffic, with minimal time on busy roads. The English countryside and its villages is one of the wonders of the world.
