Cholwell Riding Stables

Reviewed By erinc2018

My other half and I visited Cholwell stables in September 2020 as part of our trip down to Devon. It’s safe to say that our hour and a half ride on Dartmoor was the highlight of our whole trip! The staff at Cholwell Riding Stables are friendly and accommodating and the horses (Zippy and Oreo) were just fab. Upon booking you are asked for your height, weight and riding experience so that you are matched up with a suitable horse. It really seems as though all levels are catered for which is great. Thank you Cholwell, we will definitely be back! :)

Keith and Jackie were brilliant hosts throughout. The pre planning was clear and the kit well organised and efficient. The venue was superb and our group of adults and teenagers were well challenged with climbs out of the sea and exhilarating jumps back in.
