Indulge in a refined four-night, five-day escape into the heart of the British countryside, where tradition, sport, and understated luxury come together seamlessly. Beyond the saddle, we are committed to immersing you in the authentic traditions and communities that sustain the British countryside. Our menus are built around produce sourced directly from local farms, our post-hunt lunches and some dinners are taken in traditional country pubs, every element of your stay is designed to offer not just an escape, but a deeper connection to the land, its traditions, and the enduring spirit of rural Britain.

Your journey begins with settling into our luxury rural accommodation before an evening at a classic British pub. From there, each day unfolds: a cross country clinic to build confidence with your hireling, the quintessential British hunt, a morning of clay pigeon shooting and a pub ride hack, and finally a tour of the hound kennels and a session exploring the rich history of the hunt. Throughout, exceptional locally sourced cuisine, thoughtful hospitality, and the quiet exhilaration of the English countryside accompany you at every turn.

We work with The Cotswold Hunt (est. 1858), situated in the stunning Cotswolds region. The land presents a dynamic terrain — rolling hills, varied hedgerows, and technical jumping opportunities create a faster-paced experience. Riders here encounter natural obstacles and canter/galloping stretches, jumping is not essential, and the experience remains rich for those who choose to bypass the jumps, however for those who choose to it is an exhilarating challenge, with plenty of jumping opportunities throughout the day.

Our Founder

■

Honey Harman

Honey Harman, founder of British Rein Co., rediscovered her passion for riding in her later teenage years, returning to the saddle with a renewed sense of purpose. As her passion grew, so too did her appreciation for the richness of rural life—its traditions, communities, and enduring connection to the land. Yet alongside this fascination came a stark realisation: without established connections, these worlds could feel difficult to access, the path to enter and experience them unclear to those looking to step into them for the first time.

At the same time, Honey became increasingly aware of the quiet challenges facing the British countryside—local pubs closing their doors, farmers being priced out of generational land, and time-honoured pursuits such as trail hunting and shooting steadily diminishing. Recognising both the beauty and the fragility of this way of life, she set out to create something more than a brand: a movement dedicated to supporting and preserving the very elements that make Britain’s countryside so distinctive, inviting others to experience, value, and help sustain it for generations to come.
