Luxury Riding Holiday Traveller Reviews

I booked a 2 night 3 day riding break in Cheshire, with accommodation on site. The trip was simply faultless. The country house hotel is beautiful and offered very comfortable rooms and good food. The staff were outstanding, making every effort to make a single traveler like me feel at home. For someone traveling without a car, this place is perfect. The stables are literally around the corner, barely a 5 minute walk. I really liked that the riding school has an indoor arena, very useful for the 2 out of 3 days I was there as it was wet. The riding experience itself was exceptional. I needed to progress on to cantering and I simply could not do it back in Singapore. Sandra's team of instructors got me to canter in only 3 lessons! I could hardly believe I was able to do it but everyone at the riding school was so encouraging. The quality of instruction and the horses I think allowed me that breakthrough. The icing on the cake was being able to go on a hack and actually practice the canter - simply amazing!! A big thank you to Sandra, Chris, Laura and of course the priceless darling Red.

It was at the suggestion of Sarah and Matt at Equestrian Escapes that I ended up in Cheshire, as they said the standard of instruction was very good. Indeed it was. They tailor made the break for me to suit my standards and what I wanted to achieve, and I really appreciate that aspect of this tour operator. They gave me specific instructions on how to get to the hotel, allowing me a very smooth journey from London. Would not hesitate to use them again.

Had a lovely time, very impressed with the riding stables brilliant instructers learnt so much and the accommadation was lovely too cant praise them highly enough for their friendliness and great service

All questioned i had were answered well.

My 14 year old horse mad daughter and I have just returned from a 4 day trip to Cheshire. We stayed on a farm B&B, complete with horse, dogs, cats and chickens and a very warm welcome. The yard was equally welcoming and highly professional. Over the course of the 4 days my daughter had nearly 8 hours of riding and a stable management lesson, all of which were agreed in principle in advance but then tailored to her specific requirements on the day. We were after the next level up from your average riding school, looking to extend her experience of lateral work and work to understand stride length coming into fences - technical stuff which also requires horses regularly worked to a good standard to be able to comply. In both the teaching and the horses we were delighted and the short break more than exceeded our expectations.

I had phoned Sarah after hours of trawling online and not finding what I wanted - she had us sorted within the day, and with the right balance of professionalism, knowledge and also empathy for what we were after. I would have no hesitation whatsoever about recommending her after this experience to anyone looking for a holiday with horses - the calibre of the horses, yard and accommodation was all first rate and spot on with my original brief. The only problem now is that having had such a good time in Cheshire we now want to try the other holidays Equestrian Escapes has on offer!

Just had a fantastic riding holiday arranged via Equestrian Escapes. The accommodation was top notch and the local stables provided excellent tuition with a great range of horses - Penny the schoolmaster was a real star! The stables also had access to a local farm with an excellent X Country course, which is a real plus. I couldn't fault anything at all and it was great fun despite the rain!

From start to finish Equestrian Escapes provided a high level of service, with excellent communication. Their knowledge and attention to detail is terrific and I would definitely book with them again.

I had an absolutely lovely stay in Cheshire. Its a beautiful place, and the staff at the hotel were so nice and helpful, I really felt like home! Food were amazing, and I loved my ridinglessons at the adjacent Riding center! The horses and instructors were super. I really enjoyed my time i Cheshire, and hope to be back again next summer!

They were really nice and helpful on Equestrian escapes. And had A lot of patience with my many questions...:)

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.

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.

Equestrian escapes did a great job of finding us a tailored riding break that met our needs.

Excellent choice of hotel and riding establishment.

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

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.

The whole experience was above and beyond. The BnB host was incredible and the pictures of the BnB house do not do it justice. We were amazed with the size of living space and the breakfast was incredible. Brilliant horses at the riding school and not “school horses” at all, they were all impeccable and very happy! Instructors and all yard staff were so kind and knowledgeable too. We even got some photos from Helen of me and my Husband’s first ride together!

he booking team answered all of my questions and put together the perfect package for an experienced rider and absolute novice. THANK YOU!
