Saddles and Paddles

Saddles & Paddles is a unique independent business offering a great day out for those that love a little adventure and the great outdoors. Hire a bike to pedal from the city to the seaside, or hire a boat and paddle to the pub! We offer easy, relaxing, outdoor fun for all ages. Choose from bikes, canoes, kayaks or ​Stand Up Paddleboards to explore the area.

Your journey will start right from our doorstep, whether it’s on the calm canal waters, or the traffic-free, picturesque cycle routes to explore the Exe Estuary. We cater for all ages and provide all the equipment you need. Our bike hire is available between 9.30am and 5.30pm and boat hire between 10am and 5pm.

We are also a bike shop, and are proud to be the official Exeter dealer for Ridgeback & Genesis bikes. We offer a range of bikes for adults and children, plus accessories and bike repairs. Please explore the website to find out more about what we offer.
