Island Riding Centre

Island Riding Centre - Dog Friendly Accommodation in Isle of Wight

Island Riding Centre offers 5-star equestrian facilities, accommodation, and a welcoming team to make your riding experience and holidays unforgettable.

Located on the Isle of Wight, just a few miles off England’s south coast, we are an award-winning holiday complex offering self-catering cottages and safari tents. The island boasts hundreds of miles of bridleways, stunning beaches, and trails with spectacular views. Owners Paul and Louise created this equestrian complex to cater to everyone, from novice to expert riders, young and old, including those with limited physical abilities. Whether you ride or not, we aim to provide recreational fun and perhaps even help discover future riding stars!

The Gallops
The Gallops is a collection of 10 self-catering cottages arranged around a communal courtyard garden and all named after famous horses. Originally a Victorian dairy barn now converted into three dog friendly, two-bedroom cottages (Big Bucks, Frankel and Red Rum) it was joined by our seven newest cottages built in 2017 which have solar panels and benefit from a rainwater harvesting system. All of the cottages have Freeview TV and WiFi and benefit from a shared double electric car charging point (accessible via the Project EV Pro app) children’s play park and dog exercise area (April – October) where dogs can run freely off the lead.

Three of the newer units (Pegasus, Seabiscuit, Marengo) are accessible with a downstairs bedroom and wet-room suitable for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues, Pegasus was rated M3i (suitable for an independent wheelchair traveller). For guests wishing to bring their four-legged friends there are two further dog-friendly cottages Pegasus and Valegro.

There is ample guest parking in the main car park just a few yards away with a drop off area close to the cottages and spaces for two cars for blue badge holders.
