A truly wonderful experience

I never believed that I would be able to cope with a 5 day ride through the Welsh Mountains. The entire experience was fabulous, from the accomodation, to the yard and the two girls who did a terrific job of looking after me. Morgan my horse for the week was simply the best ride I have had. He was safe, dependable and also a wonderful personality. I was looked after, the accomodation was brilliant, being taken and picked up every day. Nothing ...

Nothing was too much trouble, I would recommend this sort of experience to anyone. .

Ride in Brecon

Very comfortable B&B with a superb breakfast, to prepare me for horsey adventures! The stables were great with good horses and good guidance and much needed equestrian advice!

An amazing experience with amazing memories.

I have just spent three nights advancing my horse riding skills with a long weekend break in Yorkshire. The holiday was superb from start to finish. The B&B accommodation was of the highest standard and would match that of the highest hotel. Gemma was our host and she made sure that we felt totally welcome in her lovely home. She also went out of her way to organise our horse ridding activities to ensure that our horse ridding objectives were ...

I have just spent three nights advancing my horse riding skills with a long weekend break in Yorkshire. The holiday was superb from start to finish. The B&B accommodation was of the highest standard and would match that of the highest hotel. Gemma was our host and she made sure that we felt totally welcome in her lovely home. She also went out of her way to organise our horse ridding activities to ensure that our horse ridding objectives were totally met. Everyone at the stables was so helpful and really did make us feel so valued. My horse ridding skills really did come along with superb tuition from Lucinda, her teaching style was outstanding and I came away with new founded confidence and ability. So to summarise, if you are looking for a horse ridding holiday with a touch of class and high professional standards within hospitality and horse ridding expertise, then this is the holiday for you.

Rating for tour operator:

This holiday was brought for me as a gift and my partner was really put at ease when making the initial contact and was left knowing, with confidence, that he had made the correct choice of tour operator. Lindsey from Equestrian Escapes worked so hard to ensure that the correct horse ridding experience was fulfilled. Her knowledge of the hosted holidays was so helpful when making our final decision. It's was so nice to know that we had booked with a tour operator that knows the meaning of excellent customer service, and one that will go the extra mile to ensure that you have the best holiday possible.

We are so pleased you had such an enjoyable time in Harrogate. Thia is one of our newest properties and we couldn't be happier with the service they are providing for our Equestrian Escapes guests. Indeed the accommodation is of a very high standard, and the horses and level of instruction is first class.

We sell many gift itineraries throughout the year, it is a very popular way of giving a horse-mad friend or loved one a present of a lifetime.

Amazing Wiltshire Riding Experience

A home from home experience in the rolling hills of Wiltshire, riding staggeringly beautiful horses in a family run & family friendly home/yard. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, we felt welcome and trusted to help out around that yard, which me & daughter thought was a real privilege. Super chilled out place surrounded by super chilled out people & horses....not many yards can fulfil that. Highly recommend.

Park Cottage Stables horseback riding.in the English countryside.

Wonderful experience riding through English villages with thatched roofs and narrow streets, some cobbled. The countryside was breathtaking from horseback. Angie Cox is the owner of Park Cottage Stables and loves her horses and her work. She was an enthusiastic host,prepared a wonderful dinner for us after our ride and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived until we had to leave.

Angie is an experienced equestrian and host. She runs her business with every attention to detail and insures both her guests and her horses receive the best of care. She knows that area of the country like the back of her hand. If one trail is blocked, she simply finds another way without any hesitation. She has the energy of a teenager!!

Horse Riding in the Lakes by Barbara , 12 Jul 2016

Horse riding heaven.

Booked a lake district horse riding holiday via equestrian escapes, I had a fantastic time, the farmhouse was so lovely and full of character, the owners were friendly and helpful, perfectly cooked breakfast. The horses were well looked after and lovely to ride. The location was breathtaking. All in all a fantastic, unforgettable break.

Thank you for this, the Lake District is truly a piece of God's own heaven! The hospitality here is second to none and should be a feature of everyone's list of must do riding breaks.

Unforgettable horse riding/ranch holiday

I highly recommend booking a stay at the ranch. On arrival we had a warm welcome at our villa accommodation, which was of an extremely high standard.  The riding is amazing, with horses and rides to suit all abilities. We had a mixture  of longer rides, stopping off in small villages for lunch or shorter rides in the morning and the evening with a break in between to have lunch at the villa and a rest by the pool. We enjoyed arriving early ...

We had a mixture  of longer rides, stopping off in small villages for lunch or shorter rides in the morning and the evening with a break in between to have lunch at the villa and a rest by the pool. We enjoyed arriving early at the stables to help muck out, groom and tack up the horses. Our hosts Jay and Erika were second to none. Jay cooked fantastic meals for us at the villa and arranged barbecues for all of the guests at the local pub.  I travelled with a group of 5 and we all got so much more from this holiday than we could have imagined - a truly unforgettable experienkce!

Lindsey provided a lot of information about the holiday and kept in regular contact. I thought booking a holiday for 5 people would be stressful but she took care of everything- stress free booking and great customer service

Equestrian Escapes responded to this review on 22 Jun 2016:

This holiday is a great 'ranch' experience with friendly staff and owners and endless riding. Apparently Almeria has the most hours of sunshine in the year than anywhere else in Europe so for us Brits it's a dream come true!!

Equestrian Escapes responded to this review on 22 Jun 2016:

Thank you for the kind words we really do try to help take the stress and the 'unknown' factor out of booking a riding break. We are always striving towards improving our customer service so we really appreciate the feedback that we receive.

Riding fabulous horses at fabulous stables

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.
