The Accommodation
Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?
The accommodation was immaculate and had everything (and more) for what we needed. We had a cottage so had use of a kitchen as well as outdoor seating area.
Food was lovely, Rita went out of her way to get Lucie strawberries and strawberry ice cream.
Pool was lovely - immaculate with cover that opens up when very warm. Use of tennis courts, basketball, gym were a added bonus.
Many a time Lucie biked to the stables from our cottage (less than 5 minute walk) on the bikes provided on site. It was quite idyllic.
There was plenty to do for my non rider husband and myself (I rode twice throughout the week).
We hired a car and so spent time at local (15mins away) beach, Baleal Island and Obidos. It was all very relaxed and a lovely family holiday.
Before Your Holiday
Did you have all of the information you needed to:
How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?
There is nothing that I think you could improve on. Everything was incredible. Checking in a number of times before as well as sending the gorgeous pack out that had all the information in that we would need was so lovely.
How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?
Everything was fantastic
Do you have any other feedback for us?
Thankyou so much for facilitating an amazing holiday for us all but most importantly our 16year old daughter who will remember this for the rest of her life
Jo (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Out of this world experience | The riding far exceeded our expectations. The horses were immaculately presented and are clearly very loved. My 16 year old daughter, Lucie, rode 5 different horses throughout the week and was primarily taught by Jòao whom, like all the instructors, was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, instilling such confidence and belief in Lucie to ride more advanced movements eg, piaffe, passage, half passs and one time changes. Nothing was a bother, the instructors and grooms constantly striving to give Lucie the best experience ever in a really fun way. She has learnt so much in a week.
We also had a lovely hack out around the estate - this was arranged once we had gotten there and discussed with instructors. [In The Saddle replies: thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased that your whole family enjoyed Quinta do Rol.]
