| We enjoyed our cycle trip so very much, and will always have the wonderful memories. The accommodations were just what we wanted, and we enjoyed the personal touches from the owners of both. At breakfast, we were able to visit with others who were traveling through the Cotswolds, and enjoyed the conversations. Even though we were not experienced cyclers, we thought this was truly the best way to see the Cotswolds. Any other method would not have allowed us to visit with local people along the way, see sheep close up, and enjoy the breeze in our face as we took in the lovely rolling farmland sights. Where else would we get to peek at a pheasant as he ran through the trees at break-neck speed!! Just going at our own pace, stopping when we wanted to enjoy a view, eating where and when we wanted, was priceless. The pretty villages were truly unspoilt just as you said.
The professional guidance that you provided was top-notch, and we so appreciated your kind approach. We left knowing we had found a new friend!!
Thank you again for helping us with a vacation and memories that will last all of our lives!!

| We loved Bleinham Palace. It was a perfect way to end our tour. We were so happy to not have to rush through it. The maze was a big hit with the girls. We had a great lunch at Hampers in Woodstock and then took the train into London for our very long trip home. We had more beautiful days than not. Still can't get over the beauty of the countryside - Erin Thank you for arranging such a great introduction to the English Countryside! We enjoyed it all. We're all for authentic experiences wherever we go, and that's just all part of it. Erin is already talking about how we were all huddled under that tree along the greenway in the pouring rain, only to discover it was growing wild and delicious cherries. How fortuitous! Thanks again for everything - John Erin, John & Sierra Balint + Elli, Santa Barbara (July 2009 - 7 days cycling) |

| I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that we arrived back home
from our England holiday, and to thank you for everything you did to make
our bike excursion so wonderful. We saw so many awesome things over our two weeks in England, and we enjoyed every minute it (well maybe not those traffic jams on the motorways around London!) Our Cotswolds Cycling tour was a real highpoint of our vacation. It was like being in a story-book with the beautiful countryside and the gorgeous small towns of the Costwolds. Cycling with your tours was a great way to experience all of the sights, sounds (sheep), and smells (wildflowers and lavender) of the countryside. Your assistance in planning the routes, accommodations, and tour maps was superb, allowing us to make the very most of our limited time. We would both love to come back to the Costwolds to do a longer cycling tour. Again, thanks for all of your assistance - you've provided us with a holiday experience that we will always treasure. Stuart & Jay Ruffner, Cleveland, Ohio (July 2009 - 3 days cycling) |

| Daph and I had a great time biking through the Cotswolds. Still making time to cycle, but nowadays mostly only in Central Park - not as scenic as the Cotswolds, but it will have to do until we get back there! Daphne & Andy Smith, New York - on honeymoon 3 day tour August 2009 |

| Part of working with Cotswold Country Cycles is getting an authentic insiders' guide to the area, which means the best places to eat, drink, stay, and see. The tours were well thought-out on quiet and beautiful roads, and provided great guidance to the sites most worth seeing (and those worth a miss). The equipment was first rate, the back-up support always available, and the reception throughout our stay was warm and helpful. It made for a wonderful visit to the beautiful and inviting Cotswolds. Jan and Mary Marcy, Maine (July 2009 - 5 days cycling) |

| From the moment you met us at Morton on Marsh railway station we felt we were going to have an amazing time biking around the pretty villages and beautiful country side in the Cotswolds. Your organization and detailed route maps were first class and impressed our biking friends in Oamaru, New Zealand. The accommodation was very good and we enjoyed meeting the locals and visitors to your area. Every night on our trip we dinned with different interesting people from all over the world. We would heartly recommend Cotswold's Country Cycles to cyclists of all ages. Jenny & Dick Cleland, Oamaru, New Zealand (September 2009 - 6 days cycling) |
