The Accommodation
Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?
The hotel was comfortable and in a very beautiful spot. The food at the hotel was average-to-good, and everyone agreed having only sweet options at breakfast was a bit annoying - we would really have loved the option of some bread and cheese/ham.
However, the food on the ride, provided by Mamen, was fantastic! I loved tapas time in the morning, and lunch was always delicious.

In The Saddle were great getting me on this ride and sorting everything at very short notice - I only booked 8 days before the start of the trip
Mary who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Good riding and great food in the mountains | The riding was relatively leisurely, as indicated in the ride description, with just 1-3 short canters each day. This is largely due to the terrain being not very suitable for longer and more frequent canter's, but the pay-off is that the scenery is very nice. The horses were well behaved and keen, but not auto-pilot horses, which was good. I would have personally preferred a bit more fast bits, but I knew when I booked that it wasn't advertised as a fast ride, so it was in line with my expectations.
