Can’t wait for the retur! xxx S&T Jon & Mary Collett – Bristol Thank you both for your hospitality. Lovely food & good company. Hope to come back, for a longer stay. x Tim Hall – Eaton upon Tern, Shropshire Many Thanks for all your hospitality and advice. Top place. I checked in here in September 09 for 3 nights whilst touring France alone on my R6. I’d previously realised that there were an abundance of twisty roads in the area coupled with some interesting places to visit. I wasn’t disappointed and must reiterate all of the comments from my predecessors; the place is a real gem thanks to the diligence of Tony and Wendy. From Riders rest I was going to nearby Mas de Clos for a weekend of track days with eybis.com so Tony introduced me to Jean-Louise Fontaine the owner of Moto Expert in nearby Brive La Gallarde who supplied me with new (discounted) tyres for my track day experience. Unfortunately I low sided my bike which then barrel rolled the 2nd day at Mas de Clos. Thereafter the real service ‘beyond the call of duty’ kicked in from Riders Rest & my new friend Jean-Louise from Moto Expert in Brive. Tony rescued me from a remote drop off point 20 miles from Riders Rest whilst my bike was transported to the Yamaha Dealer in Brive courtesy of my new ‘best friend’ Jean-Louise who was also attending the track days. Over the next few days Tony, Wendy & Jean-Louise at Moto Expert supported me through an unscheduled extended stay at Riders Rest. Meanwhile I tried to decide how best to proceed and then awaited a partial repair & geometry check to my bike c/o the Yamaha Dealer in Brive before limping home to the UK. Wendy quietly listened to my futile analysis of my track day antics, Tony ferried me around whilst generally doing everything he could to boost my moral and Jean-Louise who transported me and the remains of my bike around at no cost to me incredibly even offered me free use of his own bike for the 5 days I was grounded. This support turned an otherwise disastrous end to my ‘brilliant’ biking holiday into ‘another grand adventure’ with a happy ending & I cannot thank everyone enough for their sensitivity and kindness in my hour of need. All that aside I think that the owners of such a bikers retreat could be forgiven for retreating into their own space each evening whilst leaving their guests to their own devices. Not so at Riders Rest. Tony and Wendy as far as I could see both hosted their guests each evening and in doing so created a friendly and social atmosphere which everyone enjoyed whether they were passing through for just one night or were staying a few days. Finally the accommodation and in particularly the bunk house is worthy of mention, it’s fantastic, as are Wendy’s meals; so much so I’ve not had to eat anything else since and I’m still running on a full tank! It’s relatively early days for Riders Rest & listening to Tony & Wendy’s plans for the future it’s only going to get even better so I’d urge anyone who’s touring through France to include at least an overnights stay at Riders Rest in there itinerary. Many thanks once again for everything you did for me. Best wishes Tim Hall Franco Zeolu – Woodley, Berks Roads are awsome, scenery amaizing. Riders Rest made it all so easy. Thanks to wendy & Tony, I’ll be back!!!

His knowledge of the roads and conditions is second to none and that allowed me to concentrate on enjoying the experience – hence no ‘Chicken Strips’ remaining on my new french tyre! Wendy looked after me so well. Great selection of freshly prepared food, everything clean and just so. Such genuine person. Hope to be back for more.
