Quantock Trekking

Reviewed By Sassy_Murdoch - Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom

My husband and I spent a lovely weekend staying at Bashford Lodge at Quantock trekking, which included riding on Saturday and Sunday. Gill and the friendly staff took the time to match us with the right horse for our experience and confidence. My husband had had a lot of lessons but hadn't done much hacking, so they put him on a quiet safe mare, and I had done more hacking but lost my confidence, so they put me on two different, safe cobs. Saturday was a 5 hour pub ride with a stop for lunch in a pub where we were met by Gill and some staff, who tied up the horses and gave them hay nets while we eat lunch. I was very tired after three and a half hours so one of the staff rode my horse back and I got a lift, but my husband managed the whole 5 hours. I didn't feel I could do the 3 hour trek on the Sunday so my husband did 3 hours and I went on a separate 2 hour trek. The point of telling you is that they were very accommodating. One of the highlights of the weekend was watching the horses come down the hill for their breakfast, then back up the hill after their ride as they went past our balcony. Although the horses we rode were safe and calm, they were all very fit, and the Saturday ride had about 6 canters. Some of those cobs can really go! So if you are more experienced there is also plenty to enjoy, but equally, there are novice rides too. The horses were happy and healthy. The scenery is incredible and vary varied - you could see for miles on top of the hill and we met several wild ponies. I would definitely recommend Quantock trekking and hope we have the opportunity to return.

Birds Hill Days

The teaching of Clay Pigeon shooting, Archery and CO2 Pistol shooting. Great fun in a safe environment with great instruction.

Reviewed By saraht819

A party of 15 of us joined Matthew and his team on the edge of Exmoor for a planned clay pigeon shooting experience. We had been partying the night before so there was no better way to clear the head than to spend some time shooting in pouring rain. It was great fun! Matthew and his team are brilliantly organised and very skilled in their coaching and support so that everyone feels like a winner. And indeed we were all reinvigorated and thrilled by the experience. A must-do activity.
