Cyclists Welcome

Cherrymount Cottage - The perfect base for a Two-Wheeled Break in Beautiful Fermanagh

Cyclists Welcome Accommodation: Cycling holidays in Northern Ireland continue to increase especially following the success of the Giro d’Italia and Gran Fondo.
Some visitors like to cycle old roads and others enjoy the more scenic routes sampling Northern Ireland’s extensive range of backdrops including undulating glens, stunning lakelands and picturesque villages.

We have everything you’ll need for the perfect stayover with your cycling friends and bikes.

Secure Storage for your Precious Bikes

We know that secure parking is a major consideration and can be a worry for every touring cyclist that’s why we’ve taken extra steps to put your mind at ease. 

Of course Cherrymount Cottage has secure parking for multiple vehicles in our own gated driveway. However for cyclists we’ve gone the extra mile. Open the remote controlled automatic garage door and inside you’ll find ample storage for your valuable bikes and sturdy shelving for all of your equipment 

For extra peace of mind we’ve even fitted security rings into the concrete floor – simply bring your own cable or chain lock and you can secure your precious bike to one of the anchor points.

Kit Drying Cabinet

Let’s be honest here, we get some lovely weather in Ireland’s north west, but we also get the occasional rain shower. After all that’s what gives us the beautiful lakes which so many people come to enjoy.

Should you get caught out in shower or two, you’ll need to dry your kit and clothing and we have the ideal solution. 

Our garage houses a purpose built drying cabinet. With sturdy clothes rail and boot and glove stands, it’s large enough to hold everyone’s kit. Simply hang up your gear, hit the switch and take yourself inside to a hot shower and a cuppa (or maybe even a well earned beer!) while you gear dries out and warms up ready for another day in the saddle tomorrow.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Parking space and our kit drying cabinet are not all you’ll find in the garage. We’ve also provided some other supplies and accessories to help make your biking holiday run as smoothly as possible. 

You’ll find cloths and cleaning spray for cleaning off those pesky bugs together with boot polish and brushes to keep your footwear in ship-shape. You’ll find a spanner set, screwdrivers and some other basic tools, along with hand wipes to help out with those on-the-go minor repairs and adjustments. 

Sturdy shelving will hold helmets and all manner of accessories and outside there’s a tap and hose, perfect for washing down muddy bikes and clothing. We’ve even provide a basic puncture repair kit for emergency repairs.

Extra Touches

After you’ve secured your bike and taken care of your kit, you’ll want to unwind and relax and there’s no better place than Cherrymount Cottage. Why not pop the kettle on and settle down in front of one of our 55″ smart TV’s to watch your favourite cycling blogger on YouTube.

Or, if you want some peace and quiet then head for the study where you can either settle into a plush armchair with a book from our collection or park yourself at the desk and make use of the free fibre-fast wi-fi to catch up on emails or post an update on your latest adventures on two wheels.

If you are heading out tomorrow for another day in the saddle you’ll also find convenient flasks, travel mugs and lunch boxes in the kitchen, ready for your use.
