FAQ's

A worry-free stopover or holiday starts with clear information. Find quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about our horse accommodation and stay options.

What time can we arrive?

We ontvangen gasten bij voorkeur vanaf 14:00 uur. Komt u eerder aan of loopt uw reisplanning anders dan verwacht? Neem dan even contact met ons op. We proberen flexibel mee te denken, afhankelijk van de beschikbaarheid.

What documents and vaccinations does my horse need?

Documentation is limited to the legal requirements. Every horse must be identifiable by microchip and accompanied by a valid equine passport showing its vaccination records.

Upon arrival, you will be asked to sign a declaration covering your horse's health and accommodation arrangements, together with a short checklist to complete the necessary registration.

Is there sufficient parking space for horse trailers and horse lorries?

Yes, we have ample parking space for horse trailers and larger horse lorries. You can park your vehicle close to the pastures and horse accommodation, or elsewhere on the Domaine Le Puy estate.

What happens if we are delayed on the way?

We understand that travelling with a horse can be unpredictable. If you experience any delays along the way, please let us know by phone or message as soon as possible so that we can adjust to your revised arrival time.

Where can we, as horse owners, stay overnight?

You can stay in one of our luxurious, fully equipped safari tents at Domaine Le Puy, just 10 to 20 metres from your horse's pasture.

Prefer to stay in a French town? We also offer comfortable apartments in Terrasson, just a 15-minute drive away, with shops and restaurants close at hand.

Can I book a stay for just one or two nights?

Absolutely. Domaine Le Puy is ideally suited as a stopover for horses and riders travelling through France. Most guests stay for one or two nights while passing through, but longer holiday stays are equally welcome.

How far in advance should we book?

 

Advance reservations are always recommended, especially during the high season. If you need a place to stay at short notice while travelling, simply contact us directly. If space is available in the paddock and accommodation, we'll be happy to welcome you.

Are there local amenities and specialist equestrian shops nearby?

Absolutely. We're happy to provide directions and contact details for nearby equestrian shops, specialist animal supply stores, hay and feed suppliers, and local veterinarians in the Le Puy and Terrasson area.
