Cycle Breaks Anmeldelser 

I cannot honestly say this Cycle Breaks Suffolk Smoothie was a 5 star experience, but that was my own fault for opting to go in foul weather at the darkest time of year. There was a small window in my diary, and having enjoyed a 3 day cycling holiday in northern Spain with Cycle Breaks earlier in the year, I went to Suffolk to check them out on their home ground, with a view to using them again in 2019. I am happy to confirm that Mike and Andy of Cycle Breaks can be relied on to provide excellent service, whatever daft requests their customers come up with.

My 17 year old son and myself really enjoyed our two day cycling break and the trip was well organised, and hassle free and the service very friendly. The bikes were good quality and the routes were great. We were blessed with perfect Autumn weather and would recommend this trip.

A great and highly recommended largely traffic free leisurely cycle ride through a quintisessential Bavarian landscape of alpine meadows, meandering cycle paths, lakes, rivers and alpine views and German hospitality in the village restaurants and bars en route. With lively Munich at the start and the Sound of Music Salzburg at the end there is nothing not to like.

This is a short review of our cycling tour of the wine route of the Alsace in the Bas and Haut Rhin Departements of the Grand Est of France this September 2018. It had 6 days cycling, 7 nights accommodation and therefore encompassed 8 days with travelling to and fro. It started and finished in Strasbourg reaching Guebwiller at the southernmost point.

Most of the hotels booked by Cycle Breaks for our tour were very good. The Hotel Le
Relais de L'Ill especially was excellent, the best of the set, except for one tiny point in that the towels were festering slightly (i.e. smelly). The worst of the set was Maison Rouge in that we we arrived at 1600 and they didn't open until 1700, then the room we were given had not been cleaned (towels on floor, unmade bed, etc.). The attitude when informed was that was "an error". No remorse! That said the replacement room was OK. There were only three couples staying that night so there must have been plenty of choice.

We would definitely consider taking a holiday via Cycle Breaks again. The booking procedure was painless. The GPS files supplied worked perfectly with our Garmin units so we didn't get lost, though there was a traditional paper backup just in case. The distances covered each day were just right for the two in the party of 4 who are not regular cyclists.

One little point others may want to be aware of is that France is very much closed on Sundays and Mondays. When cycle touring this can be an issue but one solution to the perennial "where share we stop for coffee/tea?" question is to seek hotels where such refreshments are often served in the lobbies. Business is business after all!

Great Holiday with cycle breaks. Phantastic bikes, good Hotels with spacious Rooms, Maps and other Information leaflets sufficient. The danube cycle path is easy to cycle and there are plenty of Hotels on the way but it was of great help that the Hotels were booked in Advance. Luggage was Always there on time.

A very enjoyable 3 days of cycling, which is gentle and straightforward taking in some stunning coastal scenery and overnighting in 3 lovely old towns, each of which is worth a visit to see the historic places of interest and plenty of restaurants, shops, etc. This is our 4th holiday with Cycle Breaks, all of which have been excellent so we shall continue to be repeat customers. There are plenty more cycling holidays to try!

Excellent food , super service and guidance on the cycle routes through lovely scenery , but the beer on board the boat was vileThis was not only my opinion.

Cycle Breaks were very easy to deal with and liaised with a similar organisation in France to organise our trip to the Alsace. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and it was a great region to cycle in. We have a couple of criticisms which are that the quality of the restaurants was variable (we went for half board but that meant that we were restricted to the specified restaurants - and sometimes specific menus - some of which were excellent and some were disappointing) and that the distances on the route could have been evened out more - some days were quite short and others were very long. Route finding was generally easy, the bikes were good with plenty of storage for picking up wine along the road and the area was fabulous - easy cycling along the canals & a bit more energetic through the vineyards. We would go again..

We booked tour 3G with Cycle Breaks (one centre break) and we were extremely pleased with our accommodation as we were away from the main hotel but by no means in inferior accommodation and it suited our two families very well.
We hired bikes which were delivered to the hotel and we were able to keep them as long as we needed on the final day.

This was a second Cycle Breaks holiday for some of our party and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

We really enjoyed the cycling experience in Norfolk, although would have preferred to ride on more designated cycling paths, as the country lanes were very busy with traffic travelling at speed. We were advised that cycle helmets would not be strictly necessary, however we met very few local cyclists not wearing them and would opt to use them should we do this kind of activity again.

It was great to discover unexpected beautiful old manor houses and stately homes during the days of cycling. Unfortunately we are slow cyclists and needed to take shorter routes in order to arrive in good time, so we missed some places of interest

We enjoyed the boat trip to the Broads as well as the steam train to Wells-next the Sea and cycled right by Blickling Hall so didn't feel disappointed.

The accommodation arranged for us was comfortable and our hosts pleasant. Meals were usually pub style food, the exception being Strattons Hotel where that food was exceptional. Cycle Breaks conveniently provisionally reserved tables for us when necessary which relieved tired people of decision making at the end of the day.

We're glad we chose to do this cycling tour.

I made a fairly late reservation with Cycle Breaks when I found out that I had to come to the UK on business and wanted to take a couple days relaxation at the same time. They responded quickly made superb arrangements and were very welcoming when I arrived (even stopping me on the route to indicate that I had missed a turn). It was a great experience and I will surely hope to take another break with them when next I am in the UK.

We have had two excellently organised holidays in France. Thoroughly recommend.

Good cycling holiday in the Dolomites, well organised in the UK but disappointed by the poor bike provided.

I had a wonderful short break with Cycle Breaks. My 13 year old daughter and I hired bikes which where perfect for the job. I downloaded their routes onto my Garmin GPS which were pleasant and easy to follow with several options. My daughter is Vegan and so Cycle Breaks took the time to make sure that there was Vegan food for her. The hotel we stayed at was wonderful. They were expecting us and our luggage was in our room waiting for us. We had a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable min break and I am delighted to recommend Cycle Breaks to anyone wanting a similar holiday.

The organisation was very professional. The quality of the information provided on all the destinations plus the maps and notes were excellent. The recommended hotels, restaurants, pubs and general poi's were of the highest quality.

Highly recommend Cycle Breaks, excellent bikes, routes and organisation, these guys go the extra mile!

Cycle Breaks have been brilliant. They have met and in some areas exceeded our rather demanding requests. They have also been delightful to deal with.
Our specification was quite specific in both the daily challenge, the accommodation and ale stops! Their knowledge of Suffolk is brilliant. They also seamlessly weaned us from OS maps to electronic navigation.
We have been cycling for many years and used many tour operators. Cycle Breaks are undoubtedly Premier division. We will use them again.

An excellent, well-planned tour with very few glitches. The Cycle Breaks staff were exceedingly helpful and accommodating. And the route and accommodations were superb.

Very good service. Maps, directions, bikes and hotels all very good.

Great service as always from Cycle Breaks. Excellent routes through the beautiful Suffolk coast area provided an opportunity to visit two “timeless” seaside towns, being Southwold and Aldeburgh, from the base of a very comfortable hotel that serves excellent food. What more could you ask?
