This cosy bolthole for two is a Grade II-listed thatched cottage set in the sleepy Quantock Hills. With the coast, woodland trails and the charming town of Taunton nearby, you’ll have plenty of places to take Fido on an adventure. Spend your evenings dining alfresco in the English garden or warming up in front of the wood burner in this characterful, single-storey property.
Inside this chocolate box cottage, you’ll immediately notice the original features – like the exposed beams and slate floors. The room is decorated with earthy tones with natural light pouring in through the glass patio doors. Surrounding the wood burner and Smart TV is a stylish sofa and armchair. Continue into the traditional, fitted kitchen/diner, with wooden countertops and a lovely dining table with two stools. Completing the interior is a shower room and a queen-sized bedroom. Outside, you’ll find a private patio and a lawn beside a stream. There is private parking for two cars.
While staying in the quiet village of Halsway, on the edge of the Quantock Hills National Landscape, take a picnic and dog treats to admire views from the Hurley Beacon scenic spot (3 miles). Play fetch in the lush Great Wood (6 miles) or head to the coast for a swim at canine-friendly Kilve Beach (8 miles). Spend an evening at a dog-welcoming eatery in the nearby town of Taunton (12 miles). You could also visit Exmoor National Park (6.5 miles) for a hike through the vast, open moorland.
