Follow the Cotswold Way with your faithful friend bounding beside you when you stay at this dog-friendly retreat on the fringes of Wotton-under-Edge. Sleeping just two human guests, the inviting, one-bedroom cottage makes an idyllic bolthole for country-loving couples and their pets. It sits within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes a hot tub to bubble in and a raised patio where you and your happy hound can relax together and take in the views after a day’s exploring.
Usher your chum into the cottage, with its welcoming, modern interior, and let him stroll about the living space, making himself feel at home. The heart of the property is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can throw open the French doors on summer days. Prepare meals in here for both hungry hounds and humans, sit down to romantic dinners for two and find films to unwind in front of on the Smart TV after your busy days out. When everyone is ready to retire for the night, lead your furry friend to his bed then head off to yours, which is a queen-size through in the bedroom. There is also a bathroom here, which shares Jack and Jill access with the lounge/kitchen/diner. Enjoy the fresh air and the undulating scenery from the raised patio, with your contented canine at your feet. Unwind and watch the sun go down as you plan the next exciting day of dog-friendly activities.
Climb Wotton Hill, just 500 metres from your base, to take in the views and pick up the Cotswold Way. Spend time at the National Trust’s Newark Park, 2.5 miles away, where your waggy-tailed pal is welcome throughout the parkland, gardens and estate.
