It literally took me through a field when I was looking for my B&B at the end of a day of cycling the EuroVelo 15 route.

Not a road though a field, it wanted me to use a muddy ploughed footpath in the actual field itself.

I had a very similar experience in France! Do yourself a favour and get a dedicated bike GPS and plan the best route ahead of your trip. It's much more enjoyable this way!

Proper pe-planning wasn’t really an option in my case, as I didn’t know how far I could get each day before I did it and therefore booked hotels and B&Bs about 3 hours before I reached them.

I heartily recommend cycle.travel for the planning bit.
