This delightful one-bedroom property is set within 60 acres in the heart of Somerset. With the Exmoor National Park and Brendon Hills on the doorstep, it''s a fantastic bolthole for a couple plus one waggy-tailed companions wanting relaxation, tranquillity and countryside walks.

After a day exploring the landscape, leave muddy boots on the porch and step through to the open-plan living area. Neutral tones, elegant furnishings, and a charming inglenook fireplace create a cosy atmosphere in the lounge and while you relax on the plump sofa, Fido can stretch out by your feet. A galley-style kitchen overlooks the lounge so your pup can keep you company as you rustle up a meal. Dinners can be served at the table by the window but when the weather is good, be sure to open the window and let Fido sniff the countryside air. Come bedtime, leave Fido to sleep and retire to the first-floor bedroom. Furnished in calming tones and featuring a super-king-size zip-and-link bed, it''s a wonderfully serene space with lovely countryside views and an en-suite shower room. Outside, a private courtyard is perfectly set up for morning coffee or evening drinks. The property is attached to the main house and offers access to a large, fenced lawn where you can enjoy playtime with your pup.

Your pup will love sniffing out new scents in the lush pasture and meeting the resident chickens. For longer walks in nature, explore the Brendon Hills and Exmoor National Park. Afterwards, enjoy a refreshing drink at the dog-friendly pub in the small village of Huish Champflower (2 miles). Alternatively, spend the day kayaking, paddleboarding, or dinghy sailing at Wimbleball Lake (7.5 miles).

Lovely relaxing stay in this rural cottage. Great secure space for our spaniel to play ball in the garden. He was only briefly distracted by the chickens who totally ignored him, being in their own enclosure. Pub nearby to walk to too and very dog friendly.

We were visiting an adjacent farm for an event so the location was excellent and The Cottage, though attached to the owners house, is private. The Cottage is well appointed though maybe a tad snug for a long stay. But to visit the area, be out and about during the day, and be in beautiful countryside it is a lovely place to stay.

This was such a lovely cosy cottage and was perfect for a short break away from it all. Whilst remote it was easy to get to nearby places of interest. It had everything you could need and the log burner was such a treat for the colder evenings. I have recommended to family/friends & would stay again if we were to travel to this area again.

This cottage is a lovely little hideaway, and so comfortable! Im not sure Ive ever slept in such a huge, comfy bed - definitely the best!
