Brilliant!! I took my grandchildren there whilst on holiday. They loved it. The horse and ponies were all well cared for and the staff were so patient and encouraging. My grandchildren had never been riding so this was the perfect introduction. It was their favourite day out ever!

Amazing! We booked the groom and ride for 3 of us (2 children, 1 adult) all complete novices. The lady (think her name was Leslie) was so informative, patient, encouraging, brilliant with the kids and took into account the youngest being nervous. It felt really educational and got to take turns changing directions and playing a few games once we had got used to being on the ponies. A fantastic experience, the kids are desperate to do it again, and we look forward to returning next year! A very professional set up, if you are thinking about booking something, don't hesitate!

Had a lovely afternoon Hack. A last minute decision for my friend, her daughter and I, phoned in the morning and they were able to fit us in during the afternoon. When we rumen turned up we were made to feel really welcome. Lesley put us at ease and made the riding very enjoyable. Would highly recommend

Such a fantastic ride with Laura and Alfie. I went to get back on after an accident years ago to build my confidence and couldn’t have felt safer or more at ease, would highly recommend ❤️

Fantastic afternoon hack, it was the highlight of our trip! The horses were wonderful and perfectly suited to our various abilities. Kate and Laura were patient and knowledgable guides; they have a huge amount of experience. The stone circle in particular was fascinating.

Fantastic instructors who know their horses inside out. Love coming here and can't believe how much I've developed since starting lessons 5 months ago.

Really fantastic riding school, Katie was amazing with my eight-year-old autistic son who is timid and frightened of most animals. We had a grooming and riding lesson which is recommended as an introduction. By the time he was trotting and steering through the posts with a massive smile on his face, I was in tears. James’s anxiety was reduced afterwards, and I can see that his general level of confidence and trust in the world has changed.This is quite literally the best lesson that I have ever seen and we will definitely be back for more next time we are up. Thanks a million!!

My daughter has just had her first riding lesson with Bank House Equestrian. She had a super experience; her instructor, Katy, was very encouraging and patient, whilst at the same time giving very clear instructions on what my daughter needed to do. The lesson was fun and varied. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the horses clearly well looked after. I would highly recommend the stables. We will definitely be using them again.
