Self-catering
country cottages and accommodation where you can take your horse
Naturally we
want to take all members of our families on holiday and it's quite
common for people to take their dogs and occasionally other
pets. That's one of the good things about self-catering
accommodation - it can be a home from home.
It's possible
in a few locations to also take your horse with you, and there's
nothing better than to be able to ride and enjoy different
views. Some of the self-catering cottges shown below also offer riding holidays and riding lessons.
