Pricing
All of our prices are based on two people sharing a twin room. We have done this deliberately, as it has allowed us to secure better prices for you, in better accommodation. We don’t make any profit on accommodation whatsoever – we have passed all of the savings we have negotiated with hotels straight on to you. Furthermore, in our experience, very few people go on mountain biking holidays alone. However, if you plan to travel solo you can opt to pay a single person supplement, which whilst not a cheap option, guarantees you a room to yourself. If we have a further booking for a single person we’ll let you both know and give you the option to share instead.
If you are a group with an odd number of riders we can arrange for you to ether be given a triple room (subject to availability), or we can split the cost of an additional single room across your group.

Booking
In order to make a booking please contact us by email, telephone, or via our enquiry form in order to check availability. Generally we can confirm this for you immediately, however if you are booking at late notice we may need to contact our hotel to check they have availability. If you wish to proceed we will email you a booking form for you to return at the same time as you pay your deposit.
In order to confirm your booking we will require a 20% deposit within 48 hours of your reservation – this can be made by bank transfer, PayPal or cheque. Unfortunately at this early stage of our existence we can’t take card payments – but the methods above cost you nothing and we will provide full invoices and confirmation of reservation. If you are booking less than 6 weeks in advance of your holiday date we will need the balance in full.
The balance of your payment is due 6 weeks before the start date of your holiday – please read our full terms and conditions.
Discounts
Whilst we would love to offer large discounts for group bookings etc, we believe that you would prefer holidays which are genuinely priced, rather than offering reductions on inflated prices like other companies do. We operate on slim margins, as our unique format is not cheap to run! As mentioned, we don’t put any mark-up on hotel rooms, and our second highest cost is for transporting you around to Europe’s most amazing riding spots. These are set costs which we can’t change, so discounts are difficult for us to offer! However, we will offer a 5% discount for groups of 6 or more -please contact us for further information. If you really need to try and save some money whilst experiencing our amazing holidays please see our “Budget Options” section and see if you might prefer an alternative way of riding with us.
