Very friendly, free helmet hire and great quality bikes available. Easy to find free parking and easy access to the tarka trail.

Very helpful and quickly found bikes suitable for 74 , 40 and 11yr old. We cycled 20 mile round trip to Instow along Tarka trail much to our delight . Plenty room to leave car as Waterside Bikes is on an Industrial Est but right by Tarka trail Definitely a highlight of our holiday

We hired 15 bikes and a dog trailer. The location is perfect and the service was excellent over the phone and when we got there they were well organised and efficient. Highly recommend Waterside Bikes for a slow meander along the Tarka Trail. Thank you.

Hired a great bike from here over the bank holiday weekend - great price and wonderful customer service.

Wouldn't hesitate to hire from here again the team were so helpful and friendly. A fantastic experience for me and my family!

Brilliant service. All the e bikes were suited to us according to need and ability. This happened once we turned up and all the instructions and advice was given. All the staff were friendly and highly knowledgable. Wouldn't go anywhere else now, brilliant ride around the river, over the bridge to a beautiful spot with a cafe and gorgeous view. Then on to a pretty little town. Did all that in a morning with the e bikes!

Very friendly and helpful staff, and all that we need for a day cycling on the Tarka trail.

Great place to hire bikes from, park up and enjoy the Tarka Trail. Follow signs through the gated industrial site. Hired a bike for my wife, found and adjusted a lovely Romet Stepover. Set off for traffic free cycle to Bideford. Great choice of bikes, kids, trailers etc Left the car parked up there (bonus) Many thanks to the chaps there, really pleasant and helpful (allowed us to shorten our hire since the weather had gone poor). The tarka trail is ideal for a family cycle. Flat smooth surface, no hills other than bridge - Bideford is about 12mls. Bring a padlock so you can lock up at the station and stretch your legs. Keep up the superb service Chaps, hope it's a real success for you.

Very helpful and good bikes to hire

Fantastic service and super friendly. Great value for money and right on the Tarka Trail. Will definitely be using this company again. Bikes were very good quality and well looked after.

Really impressed. Friendly and great bikes. Got caught up in a storm which slowed us coming back and KES was happy to wait for us. Lovely cafe there too.

Great place, nice guys and good equipment all at sensible rates. No hidden extras on the day. Very relaxed and helpful for where to go with a 6 year old.. great trail and fantastic business. Cheers Waterside Bike Hire..!

Really, really good service. Friendly, no fuss, and great prices.

Good value and friendly service.

Great value bike hire, friendly service

Had an amazing day out, hired bikes & 2 trailers for our dogs. The guys were so helpful and friendly which made the day out even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend! Thanks so much.

Superb service, and great bikes. Kes was super-helpful, and his whole demeanour was a chilled and relaxed as you'd like to be on holiday! Fabulous little start-up company - definitely worthy of support. I wish Kes and his brother every success!

Quick and easy bike hire on top of the trail, competitive pricing.

lovely. the bikes are very nice and well equipped. friendly staff. had some trouble returning the bikes and they were very understanding and accomodating.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Went above and beyond for an out of season hire. Great quality bikes with a friendly and helpful service. Will definitely use again and good luck with your next season. You guys deserve to do well.

We had a really great experience hiring bikes from these guys today. We’re not regular riders and with 2 kids who aren’t experienced. They fitted us quickly, helped us with a route and were really friendly. We had a wonderful few hours taking in the views. Really recommend!

Rented four bikes for a day, and had a great time along the picturesque Tarka Trail. Really good quality bikes and friendly & helpful staff (having only started business in April). Would definitely recommend!

You couldn't get a nicer guy. Dan is the best. Got good kit, fab knowledge and just a super lovely guy to meet and a genuine pleasure to do business with.

Great service from the team. Give them a call in advance or book online to guarantee bike availability. Recommended. Good quality bikes, with a nice mix of e-bikes, hybrid, Dutch style, mountain and child bikes. Mix of Raleigh, Squish, Lapierre ... They also have helmets and bike locks available. Knowledgeable staff will set the bikes up perfectly for you and can advise on routes to take and locations you're likely to reach. We rode along the Tarka Trail, perfect for a family ride, good surfaced path, easy to follow and mostly flat. Handy cafe of the same name just round the corner, for lunch before our snacks after.

Very friendly, helpful service. Ideal location for hiring bikes for the Tarka Trail 🚲

Very friendly service despite last minute reservation.

We rented bikes from Waterside Bike Hire recently and the whole process was seamless. Simple online booking system and we picked the bikes up the next day, they offered us different types depending on how we wanted to ride, we chose the more casual models that were perfect for a leisurely ride. The views along the trail are stunning, so much wildlife to see also. Thanks for your professionalism and an easy pick up and drop off guys!
