  • Hi, we are 2 people travelling on 2 motorcycles, looking to stay 3 nights. Understand parking is ok, but wonder if there would be a problem with wet motorcycle clothing in room after a day's riding, or could there be some other arrangement, not that it ever rains in Wales of course!! Thanks, Steve.

    Hi As shown on our website we have a dedicated drying room for walkers, runners and all our guests including motorcyclists! Please note we do not launder or spin dry. We have found that some heavy materials may not dry out completely overnight
