Overall, our experience at The Equestrian Hotel was exceptional. From the appointments of the room to the expansive, beautiful grounds, we thoroughly enjoyed our special stay. They have multiple dining options, all on the pricey side, and some, unfortunately, not open on Mondays and Tuesdays. Horses galore and all their accoutrements! Even if you're not into horses, we would highly recommend Staying here for special occasions!

The property is stunning, beautifully designed with refined equestrian details that feel luxurious without being overdone. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully appointed, with incredibly comfortable beds and high-end finishes that make it easy to relax.

Parking easy and secure. Rooms clean and comfortable. Small coffee shop for breakfast nice. The only one thing we would have appreciated is more information at the checking. We didn’t know the Yellow Pony was closing early that day leaving with no inside places for food or drinks.

Except for the front desk, all staff went above and beyond to ensure a lovely stay. The property and rooms are exceptional, which is the reason for the rating. The front desk was a disappointment and TWICE ignored me standing in front of them (first checking in myself and then again checking in a later arrival).
