Visitor feedback:
“The carriage ride was a remarkable and memorable experience, both intimate as well as grand. The carriage, horses and all the staff were totally fantastic. And we loved returning to the yard after and being able to help a little with the horses and the carriage. We all left the park feeling very happy and calm. It was my mother’s 88th birthday and she tells me that her carriage ride was her best present ever. What you are doing is wonderful; the stuff of dreams.”

“Magical! The team were very welcoming and made the whole experience wonderful. Please pass on my thanks to all involved. Looking forward to doing it again next year! Many thanks.”

“We had a fantastic time on the carriage ride. The ride itself was simply wonderful – a magical experience never to be forgotten. And the people that took us out fabulous. We can’t recommend it enough to people and the great work that you guys do.”
