Hold your horses, because weāve just found the ultimate getaway for animal lovers! If regular hotels feel a bit tame, how about sleeping in a countryside apartment where an actual horse can peer straight in to say hello?
Tucked away on a scenic 200-acre working farm just outside Exeter, The Stable Stay features a massive viewing window looking right into the adjoining stable. While youāre lounging on the sofa, cooking dinner, or relaxing in bed, your equine neigh-bour is right on the other side of the glass, settling in for the night and checking in on what you're up to.
And the coolest twist? You can bring your own horse on holiday with you! š If you have a trusty steed at home, the host welcomes them to stay on-site too (just drop the host a message beforehand to sort livery arrangements and fees). Even if you don't own a horse, you're welcome to bring the family dog along, so nobody gets left behind.
