Scottish Equestrian Hotel - Lanark

Set on the Belstane Manor estate near Lanark, the Scottish Equestrian Hotel operates as a British Horse Society approved equestrian centre. The site is also rated five stars by VisitScotland as a dedicated equestrian facility, providing a broad range of horse riding services from a single rural base in South Lanarkshire.

Riders visiting the centre can take lessons, join hacking outings, or head out on organised trail rides across the surrounding countryside. Tuition is available for complete beginners and for children, and the school runs structured BHS training and exams, including intensive courses aimed at candidates preparing for qualifications. Riding holidays for adults and children form a significant part of the offering, combining daily riding with on-site accommodation. Group visits and school trips are welcomed, with a children's cafe available on the grounds.

The facilities include an indoor arena and an outdoor arena, a round pen, show jumps and a cross country course. Up to 100 horses can be stabled on site, and liveries benefit from individual paddocks and individual tack rooms. Transport lorries are kept on the yard for moving horses to and from events. Disciplines taught and ridden at the centre include dressage, show jumping, cross country, hacking, trail riding and trekking.

The centre sits close to the market town of Lanark in the ML11 postcode area and provides B&B accommodation for guests staying on site. Its combination of a BHS approved status, VisitScotland five-star rating, full range of arenas and large stabling capacity makes it suitable for both short visits and longer residential courses. Contact details and booking information are available directly from the centre at Belstane Manor.
