Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My experience renting bikes from Mapes of Millport was nothing short of exceptional. The staff's knowledge and enthusiasm for cycling were immediately evident as they expertly guided me through their impressive selection of bicycles. Their genuine passion for their craft made the entire process not just easy but also enjoyable.
The bikes themselves were in top-notch condition, well-maintained and equipped for a smooth ride around Millport's picturesque landscapes. The staff took the time to ensure that I had the perfect fit and provided useful tips for exploring the area. Their friendly and accommodating nature created a welcoming atmosphere, making the whole rental experience a delight. I highly commend Mapes of Millport for their outstanding service and fantastic bicycles, making my cycling adventure truly memorable.

Been before and doesn’t disappoint. Staff are great and was so easy to hire a bike, was in and out the shop in minutes.
We got a tandem and the guy made sure we knew all the tips and tricks for a safe cycle.
Will be back :)

What a way to end our amazing weekend by cycling around the Island. Great fun, would highly recommend. We were in Largs for a family wedding and came over on our last day and decided to hire out the bikes. We hired out the electric bikes and we had so much fun.

We unfortunately showed up 40 minutes late to the time we had rebooked but the staff were very kind and accommodating and were able to give us great bikes that allowed us to cycle round the island with ease. Nothing went wrong with the bikes throughout our cycle and found the bikes to be in extremely good condition. We will definitely be booking with this company again.

Amazing service!!!! Scott was so helpful and friendly and fixed my bike so promptly and for a very reasonable price. He saved us from a long walk back to the ferry!!! I can’t recommend this shop enough for repairs.
