We had a lovely four-night stay in The Oak with three adults and our two cocker spaniels, and would definitely recommend it.The thoughtful touches for the dogs were especially appreciated. Although dogs aren’t allowed on the sofas or beds, two dog blankets were provided just in case they jumped up, along with a lovely deep water bowl.. a big improvement on the small plastic one we’d brought for the two of them! We took our own dog beds, and both dogs settled really well.The cottage was well equipped, with everything we needed to cook each evening, a good-sized fridge and freezer, and a dishwasher. The smart TV was also great for streaming films in the evenings.We really enjoyed the working-farm setting, including the occasional tractor and the huge field of sheep next door. Dogs need to stay on a lead in the garden, which we were happy with given the nearby road and our spaniels’ talent for finding gaps! We brought a long line, and that worked perfectly.The location is a great base for exploring, although we used the car for every outing. There’s a local pub less than a mile away, but the route to it has grass verges rather than pavements, so walking there with two dogs would have been difficult for us. A large Tesco was also conveniently within driving distance.We found plenty of dog-friendly places nearby and on day trips. Bradford-on-Avon had lovely dog-friendly cafés and parks, and we were able to take the dogs into both Gough’s Cave and Cox’s Cave at Cheddar Gorge, with plenty of walking around the clifftops too. We also enjoyed Stourhead, where the dogs were welcome in the gardens, although not inside the house.A comfortable, well-equipped cottage and a lovely stay for all of us, dogs included. We would happily consider returning!
