Tucked in a peaceful hamlet in the heart of Exmoor National Park, this picture-perfect cottage is surrounded by wonderful walkies. Sniff out adventure on the Brandon Hills and Coleridge Way, then return here to snooze by the wood burner or savour a cuppa in the garden listening to the babbling brook next to the house. Sleeping four humans and two dogs, this peaceful retreat welcomes couples, families and friends who love to be immersed in nature.
Tails will be wagging as you step inside this charming cottage, which is a gorgeous blend of original features and contemporary living. Set beneath an exposed beamed ceiling, the lounge invites relaxation after a day on the trails, while your pups jostle for position in front of the wood burner. The kitchen features cream cabinets, quality appliances and plenty of space to place your pup’s food and water bowls. Once you’ve rustled up tasty treats for all, settle around the farmhouse-style dining table to savour your creations. When you’re dog tired, venture upstairs to get comfy under the covers of the king-size and twin bedrooms, after soothing weary muscles in the stunning claw-foot bath. Outside, a delightful country garden provides the perfect backdrop to soaking up the sun with a cuppa or dining beneath the stars, while your pups roll in the grass and paddle in the stream.
Beyond the doorstep, Exmoor beckons. From the summit of Dunkery Beacon (8.5 miles) to the medieval streets of Dunster (6 miles), your days can be as laid back or as adventurous as you wish. The harbour towns of Watchet (8.5 miles) and Porlock (13.5 miles) offer enticing harbour smells and a gorgeous beach where your pups can run free.
