Without pre-booking, we recently hired bikes for the day to cycle the length of the Monsal trail and can only echo other recent positive comments. Friendly staff took time to ensure we were each provided with the right size bike and helpful advice & guidance, including a map, was provided on the best stopping points & facilities en route. Helmets, locks & tyre pumps are all included in the reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Brilliant service, found this place with my partner and my dog earlier and so happy we did. Staff set up the bikes for us and explained the route and all attractions along the way.

Great ride along the monsal trail Convenient location and efficient service. Highly recommended Bikes in good condition and great advice about things to do along the w

We had a lovely half day on electric bikes cycling to Hassop Station and back, taking time out for various pit stops. The staff were very helpful, both whilst booking and on arrival, explaining both the bikes and the route, giving us advice on where to stop to eat and viewing points. You could easily do this in less time but although not a long trail and therefore good for beginners and children, you can make a day of it enjoying the views.

From the very off, when we arrived at the bike hire hut, the guys couldn’t be more helpful and supportive... Having booked on the phone in advance, 2 bikes where promptly wheeled out for my wife and I to try out, and after a little adjustment to both, we were ready to go.. We were given a map of the 8.5 mile traffic-free “Monsal Trail” route, with all the sites and things to see and do expertly pointed out to us…. And what a fabulous day it turned out to be… There where boundless amounts of people on the trail throughout the day, either walking or bike riding, but as it was a bank holiday, it was only to be expected really.. However, there was always plenty of space to manoeuvre around and everybody was very courteous and obliging.. Having completed the gentle course, we returned our bikes to our [...]

Great place to hire bikes to do the Monsal Trail, get there early to get a parking space and there is a 10min walk to bike hire. Once there we were given great bikes, one was an brilliant electric bike and we were on the trail in no time. Spent day on the trail going to and back from Bakewell, it’s 16 miles total but fairly flat so ok for novice riders.

I hired 3 bikes from the hire centre which I did pre- book. The staff were very friendly and helpful and within 10mins of arriving at the centre we were on our way to Bakewell. The bikes were very good and equipped with a pump and a lock which came in handy when we stopped for lunch. I highly recommend riding the Monsal trail and I highly recommend hiring a bike from Blackwell Mill Cycle Hire.

Oh my! What an absolutely brilliant time we have had today! We have been before a few years ago before we married and went again today for my birthday with our wee boy who’s 19 months. We all loved it! Lots of fun, fresh air, amazing views and memories made. The service from the staff was amazing! So incredibly friendly and helpful. No problems whatsoever from booking over the phone to arriving, getting our bikes, which were all set up and ready for us. They were very attentive to our son to make sure he was safe and so good and friendly to him which he loved! And of course...DAVE!! Champion dog!! Mascot of the company. So happy to see him again. Couldn’t see him when we got there as he was grounded and sent home for barking at other doggies but back when we returned. Lovely, friendly old chap. [...]

We stopped here having cycled the trail for refreshments from their tuck shop. Really polite and helpful staff. We had unfortunately hired our bikes from another place on the trail which was such a shame as this place was quite obviously much better than the place we used. Bikes from here looked far more suitable for the terrain, were clean (ours were really dusty). We witnessed a family collecting theirs and the staff were much more helpful than the staff at the place we used. The guys here gave use a lot more info on places to stop and explore and their bikes were much cheaper. So I would highly recommend using this place and if we visit the area again we will too!

We parked at Wyedale car park at approx 9:30 plenty of free spaces. There there's a lovely short walk to the Cycle place. Staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. They provided us with a map and some good pieces of information. The bikes were really good and kept clean. We hired bikes £20 per person for the both of us and we left at approx 10:00am and returned at around 16:30 where we were greeted by the lovely staff who took our bikes off us and got them ready to be cleaned. They have a little tuck shop where we bought a refreshing cold drink. Keep an eye out on the way back for a Heron and Dipper as we saw both! Would highly recommend Blackwell Mill Cycle Hire!
