Wow Amazing place...was lucky enough to go to this hidden gem with clients I work for and I can say it is simply stunning. There are still ongoing renovations being completed. But this doesn't detract from a beautiful friendly professional equestrian establishment. A fab on site cafe with proper freshly cooked food.. 5* visit..
