Welcoming pets and people with equal gusto, this delightful cottage makes an unforgettable destination for man and man’s best friend. Arrive to find a large, sprawling garden where your pup can roam free – perfect for stretching their legs first thing in the morning or last thing at night. You may, however, find yourself with an exhausted doggo at the end of each day, thanks to the spectacular array of dog walks and outdoor adventure spots dotted around the village in rural Somerset. Set on a quiet lane within the village, the property is a traditionally rustic abode hosting four guests and two pets, with wellbeing woven into every detail.
In addition to the enclosed, fully furnished garden – ideal for summer stays – the property features cosy interiors for snuggling up in the cooler months. Step inside to find the living room, an inviting space with soft sofas, a Smart TV, and a wood burner ready to keep cold toes and paws toasty warm. The kitchen/diner is also on the ground floor, along with a utility room, downstairs WC, and a sunny conservatory where you can sit and read a book with Rover curled up by your side. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms – a double and a twin – accompanied by a family bathroom for everyday refreshment.
Pop Fido on the lead and wander around the village of Middlezoy, a chocolate-box holiday destination with thatched cottages and a hearty village pub that happily welcomes dogs. There are plenty of walking opportunities nearby, including the wildlife-packed wetlands at Greylake (2.5 miles), the National Trust-maintained gem of Burrow Mump (2.5 miles), and the butterfly trail at Clent Hills (7.5 miles). You can also drive to the coast in just 15 miles, spotting wildfowl and wading birds along the mudflats at Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve.
