Somerford Park Farm

“Winter xc arena hire is awesome, such a massive area. A nice edition would be a smaller ditch, the one there is quite big so when we take the youngster there isn't a smaller option to start with. Otherwise fabulous surface, good hardstanding to park on. Massive water with an island, steps and jumps. No mud!!”

“I booked the farm ride for my daughter’s 11th birthday for her and 4 friends with the ponies. The Mums walked/jogged the 10km course it was a fantastic hack will definitely do again”

“Excellent facilities, lovely farm ride, nice soft surface allowed for plenty of canters and jumps, wash off facilities are great after a hot and sweaty ride”

“I’ve never experienced customer service as poor as from the woman in the office , following years of loyal custom. After receiving an incredibly curt phone call and aggressive text message, I was met in the office by a barrage of unnecessary and disproportionate abuse. I will not be returning, recommending or bringing clients to this venue. I have never been spoken to as I had been on Saturday by Sue - it caused me to leave the premises - despite having booked and paid for stabling, hook up and x country the next day! I chose to leave as the treatment shown to me was totally unacceptable. To offer context, Sue had called me - still within my slot - and asked me to put the fences up. I had no idea that I was supposed to put them to 1m but equally, as I said to Sue, they were falling down throughout our hire due to the high winds. However, I apologised immediately and assured Sue that I would be going straight there. Sue knew, as she had booked my entire stay, that I was in the stable block at that moment. In fact, she called someone in the stable to tell me. Arena 4 is not next door to the overnight stabling - as presumable everyone is aware - and I couldn’t drive to the arena as I was in my lorry. So to get a downright rude message about ‘no attmept being made’ to put up the fences whilst walking to the arena was, quite frankly, disgraceful. I was putting up the remaining jumps by 5.04 - the ones that had been left by the site team. I have to say, however, that my complaint lies more with the attitude and manner in which I was treated. Had Sue been less aggressive in tone and approach, we would perhaps have felt less personally attacked and belittled. She was rude and dismissive, lacking any humanity or willingness to talk to me as a customer who had committed to spending a weekend with you.”
