Great place to rent a bike

We rented a bike for my son, the staff were friendly and happy to get the bike set up straight away. The bike itself was great - very high end and well tuned, and the trails at Swinley were a lot of fun (if a little rocky). Only problem is my son really wants a bike like that now!!

Great bikes, amazing trails

Exceptional service: welcoming staff, great equipment level and well-maintained bikes. Really loved my first time here and already looking forward to coming back. I got an Orbea Occam SL today, can recommend the model as well.

Fantastic mountain biking experience

Fantastic mountain biking experience. Easy to book bikes online and great instruction/guidance on what trails to take. The staff was helpful and clearly explained the bike features to my son and I. Would absolutely use them again.

Wow, great stuff

Wow, brilliant adventure for me and my nine year old daughter. We went around the green trail to get used to the bike and then all the way around the blue trail which took us almost 2 hours. She managed it fine, with us only having to stop occasionally to rest or walk up a steep bit.

Friendly and helpful staff 😀

Friendly and helpful staff 😀

Arrived without a booking and despite being busy they managed to find us some bikes. They helped set them up and gave a very good walk through of how to use them properly and safely as well as directions on where to ride.

From first getting in touch to the end…

From first getting in touch to the end of the session, everything was smooth and easy. We contacted them to understand the different options available, got clear advice, and booked an instructor without any hassle. Communication before the day was excellent, with clear information on what to bring and what to expect.
On the day itself, we had a fantastic time. The instructor was friendly, professional and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We genuinely felt we improved during the session and came away feeling it was money very well spent. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking.

Friendly, welcoming

Super friendly staff. The online payment page didn’t work, but when I called they reassured me the booking had gone through. When we arrived to collect the bikes, the team was relaxed and welcoming. The bikes were great. I’ll definitely be back!

All round great experience

Relatively regular user of bikes (for my son). Easy to book, easy to pick up. What really gets the top star was more than happy to help me sort my (unrented) bike, which was in need of a service.

Shout out to the Warden's/ambulance crew who were on hand to help some unfortunate soul who clearly mistimed a jump..
