Excellent experience all round. The horses are lovely and full of fun, trained for endurance so can do long long canters and gallops. The forest is beautiful and enormous! We chose to ride twice each day and were out for 2+ hours each time, and every ride was different. The weather can be mixed but still warm, we had one ride in the rain but mostly sheltered by the forest and the sound of the rain was quite magical. We also had the chance to ride different horses. We loved that we could fetch our horses from the field and groom them before the ride, spending time bonding with them, and taking them back to the field after (this optional, they will do this for you if you prefer). Everyone is super friendly and helpful, and very good English spoken by most staff - we don’t speak French so thought we might need to rely on Google translate but didn’t need it.
The accommodation is lovely, very comfortable and very clean, a nice big kitchen and lounge and nice to speak to other guests. Pool and sauna a bonus!
Thank you for being so flexible with our itinerary and all the additional arrangements - because we flew to France and did not have a car, we could not shop to self cater. Alizee kindly arranged pick up from the airport and for a local restaurant to deliver our evening meal (just needed heated) for a very reasonable price. All food was high quality, tasty and plentiful!
Thanks so much for looking after us so well and for such a brilliant holiday. We’ll be back!
