What our customeres say....
"My daughter did pole work, jumping, dressage, a woodland hack and a beach ride, along with stable management and the freedom to cuddle the beautiful horses as much as she wanted to. The beach ride was simply put, living the dream for her. And the hotel - perfect location, gorgeous hosts and amazing sunrises and sunsets from the comfort of our beds."
Day One
If your dream is to enjoy a gentle ride on the beach in the UK then this is the break for you! The accommodation is in our lovely Victorian, Grade II listed B&B / guest houses which are located on the seafront, or self catering cottages if you would prefer this option. If you choose to stay in one of the B&B's all offer single, twin, double and family bedrooms all with en-suite or private bathrooms, some with sea views (supplement to pay). This afternoon you will begin your riding holiday with a lesson to enable our instructors to assess your level and to allocate you with an appropriate horse.
Day Two
After breakfast this morning you will head back to the stables. You will be doing your beach ride ride today. Depending on your level of riding we offer a stroll on the beach or for the more experienced riders a long hack which includes a faster pace. We can talk to you about an appropriate programme for your level of experience. All levels are able to ride on the beach and riders will be divided into ability groups so that everyone is riding at an appropriate level. The stable is located a short hack away from the beach and you will ride through the local town to get to the sea front.
Day Three
This morning after breakfast, you will be preparing for your final ride. Today we suggest heading to the beach once more.
For those who have a child over 7 years interested in riding we can arrange an 'own a pony morning'. This will include a riding lesson, hack and stable management (grooming, tacking up and may be lunging for those who are more experienced). These can be arranged any day of the week and the experience runs from 9am - 12pm, all you need is to drop your little one off.

Customer feedback
"It's now been a couple of weeks since I've come back from Lowestoft, and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for arranging everything so well! It all went smoothly. Pakefield Riding School is great, and I thoroughly enjoyed my daily beach rides. The B&B is probably the nicest of its kind that I ever stayed in. Caroline and Andy are such nice people; nothing was too much trouble for them.
I'm so glad that I booked with you guys, and I will certainly do so again. I'm already thinking of next year's holidays..."
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for organising our riding holiday last weekend. We had an amazing time and everything was frankly perfect. From the accommodation to the riding and even the weather was perfect!"
Access
This break is suitable for those without a car. The train station of Lowestoft is in town and is a short walk from the accommodation and stable.
