I was fortunate enough to win the NHS sweepstake raffle in March for a two nigh break in Cheshire. I stayed at Willington Hall Hotel which was ideally located next to the stables. The room wasn t as grand as I was expecting, but it was clean and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating and came up with lots of meal options to cater for my dietary requirements.
I chose to have 4 private lessons and as I had a non riding partner, these were very kindly put as close together as possible so we had time free to explore.
The riding school had 3 arenas, two outdoor and one indoor, the instructors asked what I would like to work on and I choose to work on my position, lots of work without stirrups! The instructors were very knowledgeable and explained things really well and made you feel at ease. The horses were very well trained and very responsive. For my last lesson I worked on my jumping position and had a go at a really small jump, I haven t jumped in years but the teaching gave me loads of confidence.
I would definitely recommend this holiday
