From the moment you arrive, The Equestrian Hotel feels elegant, welcoming, and impeccably run. 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. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the property is well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

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).

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.

Room was absolutely immaculate! But it felt a little empty. Maybe they needed a mini sofa at the foot of the bed.
