Customer reviews —
I've just come back from a stay at the Imperial Riding School at the beginning of July, and it's a really stunning place: a haven of peace in the middle of the city with a garden, swimming pool, yoga room and a breakfast to die for. A special mention for the chips - the best I've ever had - served with truffled mayo and parmesan... pure bliss.
