I’m doing an uplift weekend in october with my brother in law and we will be bringing our families with us. That’s four adults, two children, a baby and two dogs.

It is a tall order, but any recommendations? A self catering cottage would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Its at Mabie forest down the road. Right on the trails too

the roundhouse

We had a great time there last year. The kids would love it. Great big fire int he middle. Hot tub outside for when you get back.

It might be a bit pricey with just the two families. It will sleep a lot more. You could ask some more people along and split the costs

EDIT: THE smaller Bunkhouse looks ideal for a party your size

Bunkhouse

Forgot about that

Looks pretty cool, but maybe not with a teething baby! 🙂

Aha…. a fair point.

To be honest, I think you’d be ok with the baby in one of the bunkhouse rooms. You’ve got all the facilities you need there.

Singletrack onto the trails straight from the door. Hmmmmmmmmmmm 😉

Danny @ Saughtrees is a biker and has a lockup for bikes.

This place is great – has a sauna and pool table and not expensive! ‘Bout half an hour’s drive from Ae.
