Book now with Booking.com

The Flying Fish Stables are eight rooms in a building known as The Stables, next door to The Flying Fish, the country pub and restaurant at Windmill Hill near Ilminster that used to be called The Square & Compass. Fields surround it, with views of the Blackdown Hills, and it makes a dog friendly inn with the kitchen a few steps away.

The rooms have private verandas with seating for taking in the view, and the hotel allows no more than two dogs in a room. Six of the rooms have super king beds and two are twins, and they come with wet-room style showers, and separate baths in all but the two accessible rooms. The pages don't say if your dog may stay alone in the room, or whether any size or breed limits apply, so ask about both when you book with your dog.

Breakfast is included in the room rate and served next door in the restaurant. The menu mixes freshly cooked pub classics with modern and Caribbean inspired dishes, and the drinks run to premium rums, local ales and ciders. Whether dogs can come into the restaurant, the bar or the conservatory with you, the pub doesn't say, so check before you head over for dinner.

The restaurant, bar and conservatory have a modern country feel, and the conservatory looks out over the views. For a day at the sea with the dog, Charmouth Beach, at 15 miles, is the beach on Wildpack's dog friendly map nearest the Stables.
