Tweed Valley Mountain Bike Hospitality Scheme

“Mountain bikers climb into bed in Tweed Valley”

What do Britney Spears, Spooky Wood and Blue Velvet all have in common?

If you know that they are all names of some of the sections at Glentress Mountain Bike Centre near Peebles then chances are you are one of the 200,000 bikers who visit there each year.

Glentress is reputed to be the best mountain biking course in Britain and truly delivers a world class adventure product. The Tweed Valley Tourist Consortia recognises the importance of mountain biking tourists to the area but want to encourage more of them to stay a little longer and discover the wealth of other things that this stunning area has to offer.

As a result of listening to mountain bikers and finding out exactly what they would need from accommodation, they have developed a brand new Mountain Bikers Hospitality Scheme. This is a special collection of hotels, bed and breakfasts and self catering properties which are totally geared up to providing mountain bikers with everything they need for the perfect break.

As well as offering a lovely place to stay and a wonderful bike friendly welcome they can be assured of safe lockable storage for their prized mountain bike, bike washing and maintenance area, a clothes drying room and plenty of quality high carb meals to re-fuel for the next day’s adventure.

The Tweed Valley is the first area in Scotland to provide mountain bikers with a hospitality scheme which assures them of finding accommodation which is genuinely mountain bike friendly and focussed on providing them with a world class mountain biking experience in this beautiful corner of Scotland.
