Cycle Storage

We know how wet you can get when walking and cycling in the English weather so we have a lovely large, drying room where you can hang your clothes, tents, boots etc. to dry (also a good supply of old newspapers for stuffing wet boots) There is a domestic washing machine available in the drying room for guests’ laundry (£4 per full load – includes detergent) or to just spin dry wet clothes (no charge for just a spin dry).
