Luxurious Hotel Accommodation.

We use comfortable and well-appointed beach front hotels for our accommodation. The hotels are excellent, and being family run they are very friendly and welcoming. The Hotel Adiafa is located only 50 metres from the sea front, and the Aparthotel Playa Barbate is right on Barbate's promenade. The Adiafa has spacious twin-bedded rooms with on-suite bathroom. The Playa Barbate has spacious apartments with either one or two bedrooms, lounge, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. Both hotels are fully air-conditioned and have free wi-fi internet connection. Single bookings are given their own bedroom and dual bookings share.

Friendly, Welcoming Groups.

Our full board horse riding vacations are ideal for both single and group bookings. The groups are kept small and create a great friendly atmosphere. You will meet like-minded people and have new friends by the end of the holiday. The rides are led by ourselves, Steve and Caroline, and the maximum group size is kept to eight. Our aim is to provide a value for money all-inclusive horse riding vacation that is a dream come true. All your needs will be well taken care of so that you can enjoy a stress-free holiday.
