This is the ulti-mutt retreat for couples or small families bringing canine companions who love to wander far and wide in glorious countryside. The bespoke, bijou cabin is a peaceful hideaway with rural views, set in a 400-acre estate of valleys, fields, hedgerows, tracks, woodland and lakes that you’re welcome to explore.
The timber-clad cabin has a delightfully cute and remote feel, but don’t worry – it still has electricity and Wi-Fi. Take the two steps onto the deck at the front, and lead your pups inside, to find a home-from-home space which boasts a comfortable sofa and a Smart TV. Large windows frame the lovely views, and the mix of lighting, soft furnishings and art create a truly welcoming ambience. The kitchen is equipped for whipping up light meals and snacks. An adjoining double bedroom boasts French doors to the patio, and is another bright, colourful and welcoming space. Next to the cabin, across the deck and down three steps, you’ll find the pretty shower room, with a hot shower and flushing WC. Enjoy the fresh air by opening up all the doors of the cabin, or step out onto the covered deck, an outdoor living space with wicker chairs gathered around a coffee table. A BBQ and a fire pit are provided for grilling delicious local produce or perhaps a few marshmallows, which you can enjoy perched on the log stools in true glamping manner. Throw balls for your four-pawed pals to chase in the large field (not enclosed), and bring them with you to explore the wider estate. Off-road parking is provided for two cars.
Stretch furry legs with walks on Exmoor’s dramatic landscapes (13 miles) or head to the coast at Saunton Sands (9.5 miles), where much of this glorious stretch of beach is dog-friendly all year round.
