Cheshire Farmhouse Riding Break
If you are considering a horse riding holiday in the UK then why not come to the heart of the beautiful Cheshire countryside and either learn to ride or improve your riding in a picturesque and tranquil setting.
You will be staying in a luxurious four star farm house bed and breakfast in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. Boasting stunning views across beautiful gardens, it makes a perfect base for exploring Chester and Cheshire. You have a choice of 3 bedrooms in the farmhouse, and the luxury self-contained cottage with four-poster bed. All guests have the choice of a traditional English breakfast or a lighter Continental breakfast. The farm house has its own horses and guests are welcome to bring their own horses too!
The farm house is located minutes away from the pretty town of Tarporley, with its old coaching inns and top-quality boutique shopping. Chester is only 15 minutes away, so if you want to see Chester Zoo, The Rows or Cheshire Oaks you are ideally placed. The stables are a 10 minute drive away and are also superbly located to enjoy some of the very best hacking out across Cheshire’s rolling pastureland and into Delamere Forest. Horse riding holidays in the UK offer a great introduction to this type of holiday at a relatively low cost!
Day One:
Arrive today and settle in to your accommodation. If time permits we can organise a ride for you today or if not riding will start tomorrow. This evening you have a host of local restaurants and pubs to choose from, all within a few minutes drive (and one within walking distance).
Day Two:
After breakfast you will be heading to the riding stables for your introductory lesson. After a short assessment you will be allocated a horse suitable for your size and experience and your journey of discovery will begin. Lunch may be taken in the form of a bar snack at the adjacent hotel (they are used to horse folk!) or in a local pub just minutes away. This afternoon you will be enjoying a picturesque hack along bridleways and quiet country lanes. This evening you can choose again from a range of dining experiences, why not head to the pretty village of Tarporley; The Swan pub has an award winning Chef, The Rising Sun is renowned for exquisite food and Cristiano’s is one of the best Italian restaurants in Cheshire.
Day Three:
After breakfast in the farm house you will be enjoying the same riding plan as yesterday with a lesson followed by a hack. For non-riders wanting to come along, the historic city of Chester is only a 15 minute drive; its unique black and white Tudor-style shopping rows draw visitors from around the globe. Beeston Castle is a 10 minute drive, at its summit the spectacular views spans across 5 counties. Or the pretty village of Tarporley is only a 5 minutes drive away, here you can enjoy a coffee in the Old Fire Station Chocolate Shop.
The cost of the itinerary which includes 2 nights bed and English breakfast in the farm house and 4 riding opportunities (mix of hacks or lessons) is £225 per person. Extra riding and/or stable management lessons can also be provided as can extra nights and also prices for non-riders and children.
