Dog Friendly Cottages In Taunton

What our customers say about their holidays

• Karl - Verified booking

  The area is not particularly good for dog walkers who are looking for: a.

  Long country walks, as the styles are not dog friendly and in some cases were blocked or locked by farmers. b. a local field to let their dog off for ball throwing etc. The only community field in the vicinity calls for dogs to be kept on a lead. If you want to use the restaurant facility for the Farthings Hotel immediately adjacent, then you really need to book. Not because the place is that popular and there will be a lack of room; but because the owner guests stressed out if everything is not planned and lined up to his liking (told us he'd serve us in about half an hour if we wanted to come back, but made us feel most unwelcome - so we voted with our feet). The fish and chip wagon comes along on a Wednesday, but not when they're on holiday. Not sure how you get to know though, as there's nothing mentioned on their website so we were unfortunately wandering the village looking for them and only to be disappointed. Quist Cottage itself is becoming a little tired now and probably due a good spruce up, but to be fair it's got a lovely garden and is exceptionally well equipped. Generally, this is a lovely location and ideal if you're looking for peace and quiet, but still within a short drive to shops and restaurants.

  A very cozy cabin, which is bright and airy. The view across the field, including the sheep and the quiet make for a very relaxing spot to do nothing or just read a book. Although the location is well removed from other homes and the village along a number of narrow lanes, many interesting places and delightful pub restaurants are within easy reach. We had good meals at the "Villa Verdi" in Wellington, La Campanga" at the former "Eagle Inn" on the A303 as you approach Buckland St Mary from the east. Also there is a great daily carvery at the 'Hare & Hounds" just out of Honiton on the road to Budleigh Salterton. We enjoyed visits to the Wellington Monument, Bicton Park Botanical Gardens and also Stourhead on our journey home. We also undertook the challenge of a round of golf at Taunton & Pickeridge GC where we received a warm welcome. The cabin was the ideal base for our short break and the weather was better than we had expected. We will surely have to come again as it is also close to family and friends for a catch up.

  What a fantastic dog friendly log cabin. We had a really great week, from arrival, with the welcome loaf, butter, honey, milk and vase of flowers to all the dog friendly touches; water bowel, blanket, biscuits, dog bin and dog shower in the laundry room. The garden was fully enclosed and Pepper enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the sheep and birds through the glass front. We were able to relax and enjoy the great views over farm and local countryside. The cabin is in a good location, we visited the north and south coasts, plus lots of great places to walk the dog, both near the cabin and within 30 mins drive. There are some narrow lanes around the cabin, can be tricky driving along them, but that's what makes the place so special. We did get some noise from the adjacent farm, but it's a working farm so to be expected and didn't disturb us. Look forward to returning at some point as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  This is an absolutely gorgeous little place, we had an amazing stay.

  Key collection was exceptionally easy, (Andy left us a voicemail giving us easy directions to the property and instructions) and we weren't disturbed whatsoever throughout our stay. Sitting outside on the patio all you can hear is the sound of animals, the trees in the wind, and the occasional plane, nothing else. The horses in the field opposite are an absolute delight to look at. Pure bliss. We were surprised on arrival about all the little touches like full icecube trays, milk in the fridge, every kitchen accessory you could want, and spa gowns for after using the hot tub. The property itself is also absolutely spotless. You can tell the owner is really passionate about making this place amazing and that you have a great stay. Hottub and BBQ set are looking a little bit worn/used now compared to the photos, but the hottub still works flawlessly and was fantastic. Other than that everything was absolutely faultless.

  The cottage was in a beautiful area with great views in a secluded area- just what we were searching for!

  We stayed for a long weekend and left feeling sad we hadnt booked longer. This really was a great experience, as my partner quotes "a home away from home". We enjoyed the hottub so much and really felt relaxed after returning home. Great open set up inside with everything you could need. Our only recommendations (not complaints as had a lovely stay) would be a sign for gate entrance and note on the directions online as we struggled finding it at first, a little bit of maintenance with the lights in the bathroom and outside and finally a little net for the hot tub as it can get quite abit of dirt inside if you are hopping in and out of it. Again we thank Andy the owner for the wonderful stay and have already recommended our couple friends!
