Property code: OC-83943

Pack up tennis balls and doggie treats for a trip to the beautiful south of England, exploring scenic countryside and heritage coastline throughout Somerset, Dorset and Devon a little further away. With space for the entire pack, this property happily sleeps six guests and two canine companions, boasting an enclosed garden for soaking up sunny evenings together and an open fire for spending cosy nights curled up indoors.

Discover a cheerful setting on this gated cul-de-sac street, parking your car in a secure driveway spot before heading on inside. The property boasts a traditional aesthetic throughout, complete with a farmhouse-style kitchen and neutral colour scheme. Let your beloved dogs take up the prime position in front of the open fire in the lounge, allowing you to sink into sofas to play games, work on a jigsaw or perhaps just spend time in front of the smart TV. Adjacent you’ll find a dining room with space for all to dine together, no doubt with begging eyes looking up at you from beneath the table, whilst eating alfresco is also on the cards in the pretty garden. Finally, let sleeping dogs lie downstairs as you head up to find three cosy bedrooms on the first floor.

The quaint Somerset village of Haselbury Plucknett offers walks close by and a charming village pub (0.5 miles) for meals or an after-dinner drink. Jump in the car to discover days out in the coastal Dorset AONB (3 miles), the beautiful Blackdown Hills AONB (13 miles) or even the East Devon AONB (23.5 miles), all of which are awash with walking routes that will keep your pups on their paws. Spend a lazy day on Dorset’s Monmouth Beach (19 miles), a dog-friendly spot with Jurassic Coast walks both up and down the coastline.

The cottage was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The cottage was clean with fresh bedding and all the appliances etc worked well. It was a home from home. The owner even provided a basket of logs for the fire which was great.

Fantastic cottage with everything you need for a short or long stay. We were concerned that you would be able to hear the traffic noise from the adjacent road, but you cannot, so we slept well, even with the windows open. Great location to visit Somerset, Dorset, Devon & Wiltshire. Would be more than happy to stay here again in the future.

Cottage was very comfortable, had a well stocked kitchen & perfectly met all our requirements. Ideally situated so that lots of trips could be taken to Dorset, Devon & Somerset.
