1 / 19Acorn Cottage
Montacute, Somerset
An immaculately presented character cottage for two in the centre of Montacute, with one dog welcome, exposed beams, a wood burner and an enclosed courtyard garden.
Acorn Cottage is an exquisite character cottage in the centre of Montacute, immaculately presented with inspiring interiors and surrounded by Grade II listed houses in warm golden Hamstone. It is designed for a romantic break for two, and this dog friendly cottage welcomes one dog, with amazing walks straight from the doorstep.
Inside, contemporary living meets heritage charm under exposed beams. Open plan, the living space has a warming wood burner, with the Smart TV on for snug evenings, the dog asleep beside it, and the kitchen has luxury touches including a Smeg fridge and a Nespresso machine with milk frother. A stable door opens from it into the courtyard garden.
Dogs are not permitted upstairs, where the king size bed has a handmade mattress, a striking copper bath stands ready for a long soak, and the immaculate en suite shower room completes the floor. Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden is lit at night by uplighters and has a table, chairs and a Weber kettle BBQ, a delightful place for morning coffee or supper outdoors with the dog settled beside you.
Montacute House, the National Trust property with extensive parkland that has appeared in Wolf Hall and Sense and Sensibility, is across the road, and Ham Hill is among the walks from the door, so the dog is out on good ground within minutes. The village square in front of the cottage has two pubs, a post office and a tearoom. Further afield, the Jurassic Coast offers fossil hunting at Charmouth and the seaside town of Lyme Regis, and Sherborne, Bruton and South Petherton all have dining worth the drive.

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.
