Indulge in a refined escape into the heart of the British countryside, where tradition, sport, and understated luxury come together seamlessly.

Your journey begins with settling into your luxury rural accommodation before an evening at a classic British pub. From there, each day unfolds: a cross country clinic to build confidence with your hireling, the quintessential British hunt, a morning of clay pigeon shooting and a pub ride hack, and finally a tour of the hound kennels and a session exploring the rich history of the hunt. Throughout, exceptional locally sourced cuisine, thoughtful hospitality, and the quiet exhilaration of the English countryside accompany you at every turn.

We work with The Cotswold Hunt (est. 1858), situated in the stunning Cotswolds region.

The horses are primarily with Irish Sport Horses, Thoroughbreds and Cobs at a range of heights. Our partner horses have extensive experience in the field meaning you can rely on them to do their job whilst you do yours, when matching horses and riders we have a pre trip call to discuss riders comfort level riding out and their experience, from there we choose the horse best suited to support them through their experience, whether that's steadily enjoying the atmosphere or pushing out of the comfort zone!

The land presents a dynamic terrain — rolling hills, varied hedgerows, and technical jumping opportunities create a faster-paced experience. Riders here encounter natural obstacles and canter/galloping stretches, jumping is not essential, and the experience remains rich for those who choose to bypass the jumps, however for those who choose to it is an exhilarating challenge, with plenty of jumping opportunities throughout the day.

Guests will stay in a traditional English private residence in the country, shared and private rooms available.

Immerse yourself in the authentic traditions and communities that sustain the British countryside. Menus are built around produce sourced directly from local farms, post-hunt lunches and some dinners are taken in traditional country pubs, every element of your stay is designed to offer not just an escape, but a deeper connection to the land, its traditions, and the enduring spirit of rural Britain. Meals will be a mix of homecooked English cuisine and pubs lunches, and dietary restrictions can be accommodated with advanced notice.
