Wonderful break

I would just like to say that my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break in Tarporley last weekend. The hotel was lovely and the pool was excellent at resting and revitalising our weary legs from riding. I cannot recommend Willngton Hall Riding School enough. Our instructor Chris was welcoming and put us at ease straight away. The quality of her teaching was first class. The hacks were lovely set in pretty countryside and off the ...

I would just like to say that my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break in Tarporley last weekend. The hotel was lovely and the pool was excellent at resting and revitalising our weary legs from riding. I cannot recommend Willngton Hall Riding School enough. Our instructor Chris was welcoming and put us at ease straight away. The quality of her teaching was first class. The hacks were lovely set in pretty countryside and off the road as much as possible enabling us to relax more. The horses were beautifully schooled and responsive, we both made rapid progression in the two hour lessons each day. All the staff were extremely friendly. It was a lovely first weekend away in a very long time !! Thanks again

We chose to have 6 lessons and by the end of our holiday our riding skills had improved greatly thanks to our instructor Chris's great patience with us. :-) Both the hotel and riding centre complied fully with the covid protocal and we felt very safe at all times. Cant wait to go back.

Cannot fault all the staff at Equestrian Escapes. Always there to help. Very professional and always friendly. On return from holiday they contact you to enquire about your holiday experience. We have enjoyed 3 amazing Horse riding holidays booked through Equestrian Escapes. They organise everything. All we needed to do was enjoy which we certainly did. Looking forward to our next holiday booked with them. Definately recommended.

Very easy to organise exactly what I wanted everything to a high standard. Equestrian escapes were most helpful and great when I wanted to change arrangements due to covid.

Just returned back from weekend riding break in Cheshire organised by Equestrian Escapes. Hatty and Sarah organised this trip and were always on hand to answer any enquiries. Pleasant professional and helpful. We had lessons and hacks at Willington Hall Riding Centre. What a wonderful place this was. Excellent standard of instruction lessons with Chris and those that took us out on the hacks. Chris assessed our abilities and tailored our lessons to suit and inspired confidence in our riding. Sandra and her team made us so welcome and we were provided with beautiful horsed to suit our needs. The stables were immaculate and it was evident that they loved their horsed which were exceptionally well schooled. We all definitely left feeling much more confident riders. All riding equipment was cleaned before and after use loved it so much booked again to return for mid-week 3 night stay in October. We stayed at McDonald Portal Hotel needing a little TLC but overall accommodation etc was good and staff very helpful. Breakfast was excellent. However, during out stay the rooms were not cleaned and would have like a change of towels. This may have been due to the current covid situation but was not informed if this was the case.

Cheshire Riding break

This was a fabulous riding break at a very professional, yet very friendly yard. Sandra, all her team, and the wonderful, happy and healthy horses inspired confidence and fun. With the excellent standard of instruction, the stables being minutes away from the accommodation and lots of lovely countryside to hack in, this is a perfect break for every level of rider.

Cheshire riding break

We booked a two night riding break at Willington Hall and Willington Hall riding centre. The hotel was excellent - very friendly and food tasty, especially breakfast. The riding school was right next door and looked after us both. My partner had only ridden once before and was well taken care for. The instruction was fab. I learnt so much and was given so much confidence to take home!

An excellent experience

Equestrian Escapes arranged a fantastic two night break away for for my husband and March. We had different riding abilities but they made sure this was catered for the riding opportunities that we had. We had three days riding in beautiful Cheshire with accommodation arranged at a spa hotel. The team at Equestrian Escapes were very efficient and made sure that our time away was planned well so that we didn’t have to worry about anything ...
