Equestrian Escapes Traveller Reviews

Spent a week riding Lusitano horses under the instruction of Antonio. Well trained horses with expert guidance from our instructor. Improved our riding skills greatly. The accommodation was excellent and Antonio took us to great dining places each, including at a medieval festival nearby. We have already booked to go back again in 3 months time.

Equestrian Escapes made sure that all of the arrangements worked for us.

Just wanted to say I had an amazing time. The accommodation and the horses were superb. The staff at local Inn and the Stables really looked after me and made me feel very welcome. The hacks were idyllic. To top it all the weather was glorious. I would highly recommend the Village Inn experience. Horses and Beer do go together as long as you keep them 12 hours apart!!! Everything in moderation!

This is the third time I've booked through Equestrian Escapes and will continue to do so. They tailor the holiday to meet your requirements and ability. They are extremely flexible to make sure you are happy with the arrangements before you travel. It makes such a difference to have this confidence with your operator.

I had an amazing riding holiday in the Harrogate/Yorkshire Dales area. Equestrian Escapes was very easy to work with while setting up the holiday from abroad. The riding centre i stayed at had a beautiful B&B and wonderful yard and horses. I can't imagine having had better hosts than Gemma and Chris. The hacks were wonderful with breathtaking views and my lessons back at the yard were really great as well. I have recommended the holiday to all of my riding friends and i can't wait to be back myself!

Gemma and Chris were great hosts at the B&B. Our meals together were delicious and friendly as well. Amy was an excellent guide out for hacks and Nicola was a very safe and knowledgable trainer for lessons back at the yard.

My friend and I booked a riding break in Cheshire with equestrian escapes. We wanted a tailored holiday to cover the type of riding we wanted to do.Unfortunately the B&B at the stables was booked up but equestrian escapes did a great job of finding us a place to stay with Carol in central Chester, which actually worked out better because we could go out after riding. Carol did a good job of looking after us. The stables was exactly what we were after. We had horses perfect for our ability and they were as good as gold. Our instructor, Chris, knew instantly what we needed to work on and did a great job of balancing our different riding needs. She pushed us to improve without being pushy, which is unusual for riding instructors in my experience! The stables gave us the indoor school (as it was raining), kept our horses and instructor the same and out up with us changing our minds about what we wanted to do. It was the best riding break I have been on and I would definitely go again.

The whole holiday from booking to end was great the booking process was really easy and straightforward with all my questions answered immediately. It was my first time abroad alone and I was quite apprehensive however Katharine soon put my mind at rest. She is such a great host and teacher an the horses are incredible. Everything from the accommodation to the food to the area was just fabulous and I can't wait to return!! My only regret is that I did not book this sooner.

I could not fault the team at equestrian escapes they were efficient professional and offered me alternative options for dates to ensure I would be happy throughout my stay. I will definitely use them again and will not hesitate to recommend them.

Amazing place with excellent staff and horses. So good at integrating solo travellers with groups and families, that at no point did I feel like a solo traveller! The accommodation and excellent food that was served simply added to the overall experience.

My first experience of going solo, and thanks to the help and advice of staff at Equestrian Escapes, it will be an experience that I am looking forward to repeating!

Excellent choice of hotel and riding establishment.

Equestrian Establishments understood the brief well and were accommodating when we had to change our booking unexpectedly.

My son and I booked a 2 day riding experience through equestrian escapes. The stables were lovely. Jessica has 31 horses. She is very patient and tailored our hacks to our ability. Her English is very good and she was happy to correct my French. On our first day we rode on the banks of the Loire and on the second we ride through apple orchards. Very picturesque! The accomodation was outstanding. Cora was the perfect host. Dinner (optional) was of a high standard and included quail, foie gras and homemade ravioli on the menu. Breakfast was outstanding. Thoroughly tecommended😊

Well organised. Prompt reply a to any emails. Personal service.

My daughter , grand daughter and I gravelled on Easter Saturday to Portugal for a 5 day riding holiday, I was a non rider. We were met at the airport and taken to lunch with another couple who were also on holiday. Every day the girls had 2 hours riding and an hour lesson in the afternoon. Every lunch and evening we were taken out to a local restaurant for lunch. Mostly a different restaurant every day. Antonio's wife mostly accompanied him , so it was like a family outing. The local village had a festival on and we enjoyed the music and the stalls, with fireworks on the Monday.This helped to make it special

Equestrian Escapes were very helpful, , any query by email was dealt with promptly . Nothing was too much trouble.

I have recently returned from the 3 day Adult Intensive Riding Break in Cheshire. From the moment I arrived at my B&B I felt very welcomed and at home. I was greeted by the lovely Frimp who welcomed me tea and biscuits whilst my room was being finialised. The stables I went to for my lessons & hack were just wonderful, probably one of the best I have been to. The staff were all very friendly and Chris who taught me was fantastic and I wish I had a 'Chris' at my local stables who could help me improve even more. Overall this break gets a 10/10 from me and I now cant wait to put my new riding position into more practice back at home. Thank you Equestrian Escapes.

Equestrian Escapes are always great to book with, this was my second break and both times everything has been arranged professionally and quickly. Lindsey answered all my questions/concerns and informed me of any changes.
