PeakePedals, the Peak District’s only dedicated e-bike tour operator, has unveiled new Stay & Play packages designed to help visitors explore the national park car-free.
The packages combine guided and self-guided e-bike tours with stays at some of the region’s best hotels and country inns, offering a hub-and-spoke approach to discovering dales, tunnels, and village greens at a relaxed pace. Options include single-base or multi-accommodation holidays, with optional luggage transfer services for added convenience.
How it works (simple 3-step booking):
- Choose your accommodation type – from self-catering cottages to pubs with rooms, boutique hotels and luxury hotels.
• Self‑catering: from £30pppn (excluding tours)
• Pub with rooms: from £50pppn (excluding food & tours)
• Boutique hotel: from £80pppn (excluding food & tours)
• Luxury hotel: from £110pppn (excluding food & tours)
- Select the tours you want to do – half‑day (around 4 hours), full‑day (around 6 hours) or point‑to‑point linking different hotels with optional baggage transfers.
- Provide a few details – party size, dates, stay length, room type and tour preference. PeakePedals will then send a tailored itinerary and quotation; if it’s right for you, simply click to confirm and they will get everything booked.
E‑bikes can be delivered to (or stored at) your accommodation. The team helps match tours that start and finish from your base, or creates point‑to‑point rides between hotels with luggage moved for you.
Guests can base themselves in one comfortable location such as Peak Edge Hotel, The Ashford Arms in Ashford-in-the-Water, or Wildhive Callow Hall near Ashbourne – or choose to ride between different accommodations, with optional luggage transfers so they can travel point-to-point and arrive to their bags waiting.
“Stay & Play gives visitors more ways to explore this beautiful national park without a car,” explains co-founder Andrew Talbot. “You can settle into one base and explore the surrounding scenery, returning in time for dinner, or link stays over two or three days – we can move your bags for you.”
Co-founder Michael Shattock adds:
“Because routes are locally curated and GPS-loaded, guests can just ride and discover: tunnels on the Monsal Trail, moorland views, village cafés and stately parkland – no heavy planning required. We’ve built a large catalogue of tours from each property, with inclusive e-trike options so mixed-ability groups can share the same day out.”
PeakePedals offers over 50 guided and self-guided tours ranging from 90-minute tasters to full-day adventures, all GPS-loaded and locally tested. The team believes it has the UK’s largest catalogues of e-bike day tours and is among the few operators focused solely on e-bike touring – a fast-growing travel trend.
Travellers are already raving: “The whole experience felt really special… I can’t recommend this tour enough,” wrote one recent guest (Kristie, June 2025). PeakePedals consistently holds a five-star rating from reviewers.
Accessibility is built in. Alongside high-quality e-bikes, PeakePedals offers inclusive e-trike options and relaxed taster sessions so first-timers, returners and mixed-ability groups can share the same journey with just the right amount of assist.
Beyond Stay & Play and its accommodation options, e-bike customers can make their own arrangements, with numerous start locations across the Peak District.
If a guest’s accommodation is suitable as a start point, the team can deliver bikes to the door. Each tour begins with a coffee and a briefing so every rider is fully comfortable before setting out.
