This was an absolutely phenomenal and new experience for me, and provided an incredible sense of escape. Before my stay, I’d never ridden a horse before but I had a feeling the ranch would be run with a warm, welcoming spirit that would give me confidence to try. I’m so happy to say it was all that and more! As a solo traveller I worried I’d feel out of my depth but within hours it felt like I was having fun with friends. That special kind of hospitality that comes with a kind ethos and family spirit. So many unforgettable activities on offer, like archery, shooting and axe throwing as well as craft sessions that make art a breeze. The wranglers were excellent at instructing me as a complete beginner - and special thanks to my boy Ocho the horse! The staff made me smile with their kindness throughout the day, and I loved getting to know the other guests. Delicious food, plentiful choice, a fantastic honour bar, unparalleled scenery and atmosphere, great pool and beautifully designed rooms. I can’t speak highly enough. I’m already planning my return!
