Cycling in Pembrokeshire: Cyclist-Friendly Stays at Preseli Hills cottages

Cycling in Pembrokeshire.

Hello, I’m Jennifer Wheeler, and along with my husband Philip, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a magical retreat at Preseli Hills Cottages.

Nestled amidst the breath taking landscapes of Pembrokeshire, our cottages are a haven for adventurers, foodies, and anyone who loves the great outdoors.

As part of our commitment to making your stay truly special, we’re thrilled to introduce facilities tailored specifically for those cycling in Pembrokeshire. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just fancy a leisurely pedal through our scenic surroundings, you’ll find everything you need right here.

We spent a day with a fabulous local e-mountain bike tour company called Hidden Routes. It was absolutely fabulous to explore areas of Pembrokeshire and the Preseli Hills which others do not know about. You can read about our day here – https://www.preselihillscottages.co.uk/explore/cycling-mountain-biking-trails/

Here’s how we’re rolling out the red carpet for our two-wheeled guests:

1. Secure Overnight Bike Storage

We know how important it is to keep your bike safe and sound. That’s why we’ve created a secure, lockable, and undercover storage area for bicycles and panniers.

It’s weatherproof, well-lit, and easily accessible—so you can enjoy peace of mind while you relax and recharge.

2. Dedicated Cleaning Area

Your bike deserves a little TLC after a day exploring Pembrokeshire’s stunning routes! We’ve set up a dedicated cleaning area complete with a hose, bucket, and cloths to wash away mud, salt spray, or whatever adventures bring your way.

3. Emergency Repair Kit

Cycling mishaps happen, but we’ve got you covered. Our repair kit includes all we think you might need to keep the peddles turning. We’ll have you back on the road in no time!

4. Stay Safe with Cycling Safety Information

Your safety is our top priority. We provide easy access to the latest cycling safety guidelines, including resources from the Think Road Safety campaign. It’s all about helping you enjoy a safe and worry-free adventure.
