We had a wonderful stay at Trail View. It's well positioned -- private, yet still close to town, has terrific views and a sunny aspect. It's great base for riding the trails but is also a really nice place to relax, regardless of whether or not you've been riding. It's a comfortable house, and importantly it's warm when the fires are chugging on cooler days.
There's so much that's good about the place. It has plenty of character and is very well presented (decor, appliances, linen etc), all of which adds to the charm. There's heaps of room -- and rooms -- in the house, so it would cope well with groups much larger than our 5.
I travelled with my own bike cleaning equipment but was pleased to see dedicated bike cleaning supplies at the house. This was just another indicator of how Deryn is a thoughtful host, and one who always responded promptly during booking etc.
