The bike shed

A lock-up bike shed is available for those bringing their own bikes to enjoy our country lanes which on 7th July 2014 the Tour de France’s 3rd stage passed just a mile down the road (see below video as the peloton thunders through Saffron Walden!)

We are afraid we do not loan bikes out due to insurance restrictions.

Please ask Max or Chrissie to unlock the shed for you.

If you visit Saffron Walden during your stay, be sure to check out Bicicletta cafe.
