Montacute is a village built entirely from the golden hamstone quarried on the hill above it, and Acorn Cottage is a one bedroom five star place in the middle of it with an enclosed garden and one dog welcome.

Ham Hill is that hill, one and a tenth of a mile off, and it is now a country park of four hundred acres over the old quarry workings, with an Iron Age hillfort on top and a walk we rate an eight. For a dog it is the ideal shape of thing: large, undulating, open access and close enough to do twice a day. Muchelney Abbey is six and a half miles, Sherborne Old Castle nine and a third.

Thirty five guest ratings on a cottage sleeping two is a strong record. This is south Somerset, so there is no coast within reach and the walking is hillfort, hamstone village and orchard country instead. One dog. For a couple who want somewhere quietly excellent rather than dramatic, it is the pick of the county at this price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Acorn Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Acorn Cottage welcomes one dog. The cottage has an enclosed garden, which is a real bonus for keeping your dog safe and giving them somewhere to stretch out between adventures.
Are dogs allowed at Acorn Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given the enclosed garden and dog-friendly setup, it's clearly a place that's thought about canine guests properly.
What should I know before visiting Acorn Cottage with my dog?
The cottage accepts one dog only, so it's best suited to solo-dog households or couples bringing a single pet. The location is a strong draw for dog owners — Ham Hill Country Park is just over a mile away, offering 400 acres of open access land that's ideal for a good off-lead run, and close enough to visit more than once a day.
