Sitting beside the water on a Gloucestershire nature reserve at Somerford Keynes, this top dog holiday home sleeps nine guests and two canine companions across three storeys. A multi-generational pack will find room to spread out here, and dogs are welcome to come along too, with reserve paths offering unforgettable walkies straight from the doorstep. Lake views run through the living space, while the Cotswolds National Landscape begins 4.5 miles away.
The sociable open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner fills the ground floor, with sofas turned towards the lake and glass doors sliding open onto the deck. Your pups will adore curling up at your feet while you switch on the Smart TV or watch the reeds swaying by the lakeside through the windows. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spread across the top two storeys, reached by stairs. Leave your sleeping dogs to lie as you head upstairs, discovering four bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged across the first and second floors. Outside, the private deck has outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ, with plenty of space for your pups to stretch out. There’s also private parking for one car. Shared facilities on the park include indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, steam room and sauna, tennis courts, children’s play areas, water sports on the lakes, a shop and a restaurant.
Let Fido run off some steam with walks at Cotswold Country Park & Beach or the Cotswold Sculpture Park, each 1 mile away. For less energetic dogs, a relaxed day out in Cirencester is just 6 miles away. The Cotswold villages begin 4 miles away, linked by footpaths and cycle routes that suit a dog happy to cover ground. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape, 15 miles away, offers further beauty spots and walks.
