Loved this trip as a way of getting to know North Norfolk, the cycle routes were good and easy to follow using the provided GPX files.
Very good holiday from start to finish. I booked this holiday for my wife and myself as a week of indulgence in quality hotels, some sightseeing with a bit of exercise thrown in. We weren't disappointed. All three hotels were excellent yet quite different to each other. The Rose and Crown in Snettisham is an old inn with very smart and clean bedrooms. Good spacious restaurant with a mixture of traditional and contemporary food. The bar areas are popular with locals and have a good atmosphere. The Victoria on the edge of the Holkham estate is exceptional. Great staff, rooms and food. I can't think of a better hotel that I've visited. Finally Blakeney House is also a lovely boutique hotel with friendly welcoming staff and a great 5 course taster menu.
Onto the cycling. Lisa and Joanne delivered our two cycles on the first morning. Nice comfortable bikes with a pannier etc. We followed the recommended routes each day about 20 miles. The routes were easy to follow. We probably spent around 2 to 3 hours a day on the saddle and made plenty of stops at interesting places. Most days we left the hotel around 9 am and arrived at the hotel around 3 pm. We had plenty of time to see the sights. Sandringham and Holkham Hall are highly recommended. All the villages in this area of Norfolk are characterful and picturesque. Also worth mentioning that the roads are all quiet with little traffic and electric bikes are also offered. Highly recommended.
Quality of your planning, documentation was very good. A point you may wish to consider is making the directions available online, to enable your customers to liaise and share information with their travelling companions so everyone in the party is informed well before start of holiday. This would have helped our situation as we live opposite ends of the country. Overall we loved our trip.Thank you.

This was our third Inntravel holiday and again didn't disappoint. It was a seamless process from the initial email booking request through to receipt of the holiday notes folder, which arrived well before we left home (we live in New Zealand).
We loved exploring this part of England, having previously only spent time in London. The beautiful villages and all the history - completely different to New Zealand which is a much younger country. We cycle at home on ebikes but have only done single day excursions at a time. We were wondering how it would be cycling six consecutive days but found the route was very comfortable and not too hard. The daily distances allowed plenty of time to stop, have lunch and explore the suggested attractions. The various inns and guest houses were excellent, comfortable rooms, good meals and welcoming hosts. We would suggest booking for dinner the second night at Rose and Crown on arrival or even prior if not going to The Old Bank (the only other restaurant in the village, not open every day and needs to be booked well in advance). Our second night was on a bank holiday weekend, the restaurant was fully booked that night and it took two attempts that day to secure a dinner booking. Overall a wonderful holiday and we are already looking at what our next Inntravel experience will be.
The cycling routes and the recommeded places to visit made for satisfying full days .... just what we enjoy about our inntravel walking hols.
We had a wonderful few days exploring the backroads of Norfolk. Staff at both The Rose & Crown and The Victoria were extremely helpful and friendly and the food at both was excellent. We had been slightly aprehensive about using electric bicycles for the first time, but the hire company ladies took time to explain everything very carefully and we were whizzing along the country lanes in no time at all.
As always we really enjoyed having a holiday organised by Inntravel. The cycle supplier was superb...very courteous, prompt and very responsive to any communication, even when one call to them was an accidental pocket dial!. The venues were lovely. Our favourite without any doubt was the Ancient Guest room at the Victoria. Nothing to do with age! Simply a building reserved for those without dogs! Staff were very friendly. the routes were very good, though instructions in Sandringham very confusing when looking for the cycle racks; and again when trying to find the correct route out; "Turn right on estate road opposite entrance to house". There were several possible roads. It would have been helpful to have more detailed directions at that point, but this is a small point.
The holiday was above our expectations especially our two night stay at the Victoria Inn. Overall cycling, food and accomodation were excellent and the Norfolk populace were welcoming and friendly.
Countryside in North Norfolk was lovely, lots of forests and quiet roads with pretty villages, certainly not flat with varied landscapes and things of interest.
Lots of interesting things to see and do along the cycling routes. Good OS maps provided. Very helpful cycle hire staff. Easy cycling along quiet roads. Excellent accommodation.
Everything about this holiday was as we would have expected. A variety of accomodation, each to a high standard within its' own category. Bikes were in excellent order. First time for me on an electric bike. At bike handover I was a nervous novice, at the end of the holiday a potential professional. Planned routes were excellent, giving us both a view of the Norfolk countryside on quiet roads. No worries from other road users.
The huge Holkham estate was a surprise for us. Perhaps you had understated it. The walled garden is a real delight. Also enjoyed the Langham Dome. Perhaps they don't get many visitors. We got VIP treatment! The School House gallery at Wighton is rather special. It has work by significant artists only, particularly Alfred Cohen who lived there from 1978 till his death in 2001. His widow, Diana, still runs the gallery. She is a force of nature!
Well organised and planned cycle ride. Took in many beautiful sights and interesting buildings. The lanes were very quiet with little traffic. Lots of things to do and see on the way. Pubs and cafes aplenty. Just ensure you take wet weather gear for the odd rainy day. Thank you Inntravel for this wonderful experience. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and found the distances just right for ourselves.
The 'Lanes & Byways' were truly a delight & we congratulate you on taking us to places we would not have discovered on our own, and a visit to Holkham House & its kitchen gardens is essential. Allow a very minimum of 2 hrs. Cycling through the grounds on arrival was a particular highlight.
Our stay at Blakeney House was a most fitting end as it is a very special place with lovely people & excellent food. We were very sorry our second night was a Sunday when they are closed for dinner.
More emphasis should perhaps be put on booking well ahead for the meals not included though as North Norfolk is a very popular area. We can thoroughly recommend The Old Bank in Snettisham, but it does need booking at least 2 mths ahead. 4hrs of a 7/8 course tasting menu at a very reasonable cost with wonderful staff was the absolute highlight of our 6 day spectacular.
This was our first self-guided bike holiday in the UK. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We had our own electric bikes and found all of the routes easy to navigate and very quiet. There was a variety of countryside and the notes in the guide pointed excellent cafes and places of interest. It was also lovely to have a variety of accommodation and certainly worth upgrading at The Victoria. We look forward to Inntravels next cycling holiday!
The Shell Museum and Glandford Church were great.
Check all aspects of your travel requirements before paying. Make sure you book your evening meals well in advance as all good restaurants are likely to be fully booked. It was nice to have 3 meals provided. The Victoria in Holkham was beautiful and so accommodating, covered, locked cycle shed with socket for electric charger.
The charm of North Norfolk is the beautiful villages we cycled through and the churches. The suggested routes took us to some interesting places and there was always somewhere for coffee, lunch or tea! All in all a great holiday with the Victoria Inn a highlight. We took one day off from cycling and walked from Blakeney to Morston Quay and went on one of the many seal trip boats, a great experience. Our thanks to InnTravel for all the organisation, it was a great holiday, please plan some more cycling holidays in the UK.
Wonderful cycling holiday - great routes, comfortable and characterful accommodation, well equipped bikes and seamless service. Another great holiday experience, thank you Inntravel.
Norfolk roads and lanes made for a really relaxing and enjoyable English holiday, all aspects of which ran really very smoothly from start to finish.
The bikes and especially the gears on the bikes, were simply excellent!
The countryside was lovely. Suggestions for eating were really helpful.
We didn't expect to cycle up and down more or less all the time, which was okay for us, but may not be okay for others. Maybe also make it clearer that you need to take water with you as there were not many options to buy or refill the water bottles; on a hot day, this could turn into a problem. We were fine as we carried 2 litres with us all the time.
We thoroughly enjoyed this holiday. Great choice of cycling routes and lovely places to stay. Joanne and Lisa from Wheel-Travel were really friendly and helpful and the bikes were excellent. The distances were about right for us and gave time to explore en route.
