"Thank you again for another wonderful holiday!  Bikes, food and wine still great after 4 years!  Probably see you next year" Richardson family, Wolverhampton, UK - returning for their 5th consecutive year in 2012 - view more guests comments

What makes us the best?

The key is our tailor made approach at the right price.  We create a choice of daily routes of varying distances on quiet country lanes and dedicated cycle routes that allow you to enjoy a cycling holiday at your chosen pace.

We never forget that although it’s cycling it’s a holiday too – not only are you in the right location for easy-paced, relaxed cycling but also for amazing sightseeing - whether that be tiny hamlets, wine cellars, chateaux, country markets, towns or just games of boules in the village square.

We are the owners and your only hosts for your cycling holiday. We pride ourselves on our excellent personal service and we care that you have a great time!  We do all the planning and organisation for you and provide you with lots of fun, laughter and relaxation - so just unpack, unwind and enjoy the ride!

Unrivalled Loire Valley location

No single centre cycling base in the Loire Valley is better located:  right in the vineyards, the forest immediately behind, the river itself just a short pedal away. Our nearby town has one of the best weekly markets in the whole Loire Valley and a great choice of restaurants - and with over 10 chateaux within a day’s ride, plus abbeys, gardens, wineries, historic villages and towns, there’s no better place to stay.



  Flexiblity

There are no fixed arrival or departure days with our breaks; you chose what day you arrive and how many days you stay.  Tell us how far you want to cycle each day and what you want to see and do – and we build a personal itinerary just for you.  And in the evenings choose to enjoy delicious home-cooked meals here, or sample some great local restaurants all within a 15 minute ride from ‘home’. In fact, the only thing that is fixed on our holidays is the price – you pay one low rate whenever you stay.

 

Authentic hospitality

Stay in high quality accommodation for the length of your stay – unpack your bags and relax in our fully renovated 19th century property. Bedrooms and suites are spacious and well-equipped, ideal for couples, groups of friends or families. Guest areas inside and out are designed for your enjoyment – sit on the sun terrace with views through our vineyard across the Loire Valley , take a refreshing splash in the pool or challenge yourselves to a game of boules.  If you need to keep in touch with the outside world, what better way to use our wi-fi than sitting with a glass of rosé in the flower-filled courtyard.  We are here to make your holiday special with our friendly service and generous hospitality.

 

 

Local knowledge  

We are a family run business and have lived and worked here for 10 years. After visiting as tourists ourselves, when we made the move we chose to live in the very heart of the valley itself.  We are passionate about the culture and history of this beautiful area and love sharing this with our guests. Your personalised routes will take you to all the ‘must-see’ sites, but also the hidden treasures which you won’t find in any guidebook.  Travel along lanes only the locals know, and we’ll point out the best picnic spots, great photo opportunities and our favourite cafés.  We are here to help with every part of your stay – not just look after your bikes – we’ll book local restaurants, canoeing adventures, make introductions to our winemaking friends and even get you discounts on admission fees to chateaux….your Tour de Loire is safe in our hands.

 

 

 

 

Family-friendly breaks

Our child prices are kept to a minimum, accurately reflecting the actual cost to us. You will stay in family suites so your children have their own sleeping space.  We have special child friendly routes to keep them happy all day.
