π΄βοΈ Winter riding adventures at Old Brook Farm, Devon!
Who says holidays with your horse are just for summer?
Tucked away on the edge of Dartmoor, Old Brook Farm is a fabulous spot for a winter escape with your horse, with some seriously good riding right on the doorstep!
Ride straight out from the farm along a centuries-old drift lane and onto the open moor, with miles of fantastic hacking, breathtaking views, plenty of wildlife and even a pub ride or two. Thereβs so much to explore, whether you fancy a gentle wander or a full day in the saddle.
π And hereβs a special bonus! Box up your horse and head to the beautiful sandy beach where International Velvet was filmed, 45 minutes away! Winter is a particularly lovely time for beach riding, with fewer crowds and plenty of space for a good canter along the sand. Who wouldnβt fancy their own International Velvet moment?!
π‘ The B&B is top notch too! A beautifully refurbished farmhouse full of character, with gorgeous bedrooms, antiques, lovely countryside views and plenty of cosy corners to relax in. Think delicious breakfasts, afternoon tea and homemade cake in the oak-panelled drawing room, and perhaps a glass of fizz overlooking the moor after a fabulous dayβs riding.
Your horse gets a lovely holiday too, with spacious traditional stone stables, turnout available and hay and straw bedding provided.
Hosts Victoria and Tom welcome just one group at a time, so you can expect a wonderfully personal stay, with plenty of local knowledge and riding tips thrown in!
Dartmoor adventures, cosy farmhouse stays and a beach canter worthy of International Velvet. We reckon winter is a brilliant time to visit!
