'Last summer we did two Country Lanes cycling trips - a 6 day tour of the Cotswolds and then 3 days in the Lake Country. This note is to let you know how much we enjoyed both trips and how very much we appreciated the fine people who work for you….'

I thought I'd say on behalf of Bethan and myself that we really enjoyed our cycling in the New Forest.

"We thought the organisation of the whole break was excellent and your choice of hotel couldn't have been better, the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and the food was terrific."

Graham & Ruth Wheatley

“I started to think that there must be other ways of getting people to these historical attractions in the countryside that didn’t involve cars. Since moving to Britain from Canada in 1982 I had spent much of my free time visiting such places on my bicycle. I thought there had to be a successful business proposition in that idea. And that was really the turning point for me in terms of changing my life.”

“I just wanted to let you know that my family and I had a great time on our family bike trip. Everything you arranged was perfect… it was the best vacation that we have had in a long time. I hope that we will be able to come back next year and ride a different area of England.”

Debbie Dodak & Family — USA

“The concept of hiring a bicycle at a station is well-established in Holland and Switzerland.
“In Britain the idea has finally caught on. Country Lanes hires out bikes at stations including Moreton-in-Marsh (for the four-and-a-half mile journey to the Trust's Chastleton House), Brockenhurst for trips around the New Forest, and Windermere for day, weekend or six-day tours of the Lake District.”

National Trust Magazine

“After returning safely home I would like to thank you and your team for making a perfect job. The hotel you picked was excellent and we enjoyed the comfortable rooms and the food very much. Brockenhurst appears to be an ideal centre for such tours… I will certainly recommend you when the issue of cycling in Britain is raised.”

Gerhardt Donht, Germany

“Just a quick note to say thank you for such a great service. Everyone in the party was impressed with the quality of the bikes and we didn't put a foot wrong following the route map supplied. We had a fantastic day out!”

Natalie Mellor , London UK

“The ride was everything your brochure reported it to be, and more. The bicycles were the perfect size and well-maintained; the route slip was flawless and the countryside amazing.”

Steve & Moira Harris, California USA

“Winner of the second prize in the South-East finals of The Information Society Initiative/InterForum E-Commerce Awards 2000, Country Lanes now generates 90% of its business online…”

Robert Zarywacz, Business Magazine Online

“From the first e-mail contact with Country Lanes I have been very impressed. I look forward to our next trip and the certainty that we will look to Country Lanes for creating holiday magic.”

Suzanne Whittmore, New Hampshire, USA

“What a trip! Just wanted to say a quick thanks for providing such a fabulous weekend — all four of us had an absolutely superb time, nothing could have been better…will certainly highly recommend you to anybody and everybody…”
