Lovely experience - Special treat for my elderly mum who struggles with her mobility. Horses very friendly, beautiful carriages and a great staff team who were super. Lovely route down village lanes and country side with a stop mid way for a scrummy hot chocolate. Mum got her twinkle back and loved it. Thankyou ❤️

Something different and memorable - Booked this as a Mother's Day treat for my elderly parents. Very easy to book with a small deposit by BACS. When we arrived we were met and invited in to wait for our slot. Despite the English weather everyone was smiling and welcoming and they took my parents off for the 30 minute special tour round Skipwith Common/Escrick Estate. My sisters and I waited in the tea room for their return then they enjoyed afternoon tea (and despite my sisters and I not actually having booked we were given unlimited hot drinks and some extra sandwiches). Fantastic. A great experience present rather than the standard pub lunch - thank you!

Must do experience - A fabulous experience. Nothing was too much trouble. Gordon helped make our engagement proposal go smoothly and was an excellent photographer. Thanks to Arthur and Hercules for the horse power! Beautiful countryside and great location.

An amazing and unforgettable experience! - Had the most wonderful afternoon! I booked for my Mum's 70th birthday and her friends birthday -which was a week ago so made it a joint birthday celebration. We all really enjoyed the experience! Such friendly staff and a super cute horse (Ben)! The clip-clop of hooves created a soothing ambiance as we made our way down the tracks through the beautiful estate. We stopped for a hot drink half way through the journey and afterwards we were invited to stay for soup and bread rolls- there were also various teas, coffees etc.. We all felt really spoilt and absolutely loved every minute of being there! I highly recommended it for those seeking a unique, memorable and tranquil escape! I will be rebooking again :)

Fantastic experience! - This was a gift for my wedding anniversary and it was so lovely. We really enjoyed our ride round the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and stopped mid-way for a hot drink (hot chocolate with marshmallows!). Our horse was well mannered and professional and our driver was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We had the afternoon tea package and decided to have our picnic afterwards and we were shown some lovely spots to enjoy the picnic. I was so pleased with the food, i'm gluten free and expected mine to be a bit lacking but I had mini sandwiches and scones and all sorts! Very impressed with the effort gone to accommodating my food allergy. Thankyou for a great day - recommended to anyone wanting a romantic experience!
