We stayed here in the Cl site twice during our visit to the New Forest. Lovely little laid back site within easy walking distance of Brockenhurst . Step across the road and your are on the heath in the company of some of the many ponies that roam freely. The toilet is shared with the stables and there are no showers..I have added that not as a criticism but just for info. We loved it there and hopefully will go return.

Fantastic school, had a lesson with Sara who is a brilliant teacher and gave me really clear specific advice to improve my riding. Already in love with Wally, one of the loveliest horses I've ever ridden! Will definitely be back.

My daughter has so far had two private lessons and is loving the experience! Sara was so welcoming and made her feel relaxed and comfortable. She was super encouraging and made my daughter feel like an expert already! Thank you!

This place is such a delight. The staff fall over themselves to be friendly and they obviously love the horses like they are family great set up with plenty of space and facilities including indoor and outdoor arenas. Would highly recommend.

Good place to ride for adults, professionally organised and friendly with point to point racing connections. Ideally situated for hacking on the Forest or lessons in manege or indoor school. I look forwards to further visits.

Accommodating and sensible with request for my daughter. Welcome not that great but offset by lovely lesson with very experienced instructor and responsive pony. Would recommend overall.

I rang this stables as I’m an experienced rider and wanted a fast ride through the forest. I specifically stated that i did not want to be put on a ride, if the other riders weren’t experienced. On arrival i checked that this was the experienced riders ride and was told yes. Myself 2 guides and five others set off on the 2 hour forest ride. We spent 90% of this ride in WALK and only trotted 3 times Disappointed is not the word. I was angry that i was charged £70 for this stroll around the forest. The other riders were not assessed for there competence and one had never ridden outside off an arena. If you want a canter through the forest DONT GO HERE! Save your money and try elsewhere.

We rang and was pleased to be told we could be fitted in at short notice which was great there was four of us. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, it was obvious they care a great deal about the horses and ponies. The horses were very well behaved and the hack was enjoyed by us all. We will be coming back!!!

We enjoyed our week at your caravan park, the only criticism we have is the grass was far too long and with the torrential rain we were unfortunate to have, the ground where our caravan was parked flooded, and we spent next 2days drying everything out.Also the toilets could do with a coat of paint and cleaned up. And working taps . Also waste toilet area a bit primitive with fresh clean water for flushing to far away from drain area.
