There’ll be no need to leave your darling dogs in the kennels when booking a stay on Somerset’s exquisite coastline, staying in this striking Grade-II listed property on the outskirts of Minehead. With as much charm and intrigue inside as it’s got outside, this lovely cottage provides a truly restorative space for two guests and two dogs to spend time throughout all 365 days of the year. Let your pups roam free in your private lawn space, fully enclosed to ensure your four-pawed pals' security, or pop them on the lead to wander around the 3-acre paddock with goats, sheep and a Shetland pony.

Instantly welcoming for man and dog alike, step inside to be greeted by a generous canine goody bag filled with dog towels, treats and a water bowl. Having enjoyed their treats, your dogs are then welcome to find the cosiest spot in the house in which to curl up. This might be in the lovely living/dining room that’s been lovingly decorated in a traditional style. Just next door you’ll find the compact kitchen. Down the hallway leads to a double bedroom and a bathroom. Finally, amongst other outdoor spaces, the property boasts a shared swimming pool for your use.

Set tails wagging with adventures all-around, exploring the delightful coast and countryside of the Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills AONB. Your nearest beach for games of fetch with man’s best friend is at Dunster, 2 miles away. Here you’ll find the West Somerset Coastal Path stretching by, a 25-mile-long route where you can exercise your dog alongside remarkable sea views. This route runs in line with the West Somerset Railway Line, a fantastic steam railway where you can take a dog-friendly trip from Minehead in a unique and restful way to view the surrounding countryside.

Stayed in old coach house cottage May 13th-20th. Can't praise it enough. Perfect location, emaculate accommodation, wonderful gardens and fantastic heated outdoor swimming pool. Very friendly owners Leonora and David made us and our two dogs very welcome. Highly recommended five star all the way.
