1 / 24Apple Cottage - Minehead
Minehead, Somerset
A one bedroom cottage at Ellicombe with a private enclosed garden off the lounge, two dogs welcome, and Dunster Beach seven tenths of a mile away.
Ellicombe sits between Minehead and Dunster, which puts Apple Cottage within a short walk of one of the best preserved medieval villages in England. One bedroom, two people, two dogs, with a private enclosed garden opening straight off the lounge.
Dunster Beach, seven tenths of a mile out, carries a seven with us, a long flat strand of shingle and sand backed by chalets, while the Yarn Market, the Butter Cross and Gallox Bridge all sit within a mile. That density of things worth walking to is unusual, and it means a dog here gets four or five entirely distinct outings without the car leaving its space.
A garden opening directly off the lounge is the feature that counts for two dogs in a one bedroom cottage, because it doubles the usable space whenever the weather allows. There is a swimming pool and games facilities on the site, which makes this a complex rather than a standalone cottage, so expect neighbours. Fourteen guest ratings, and a position that puts Exmoor, the coast and a medieval village inside two miles.

Is Apple Cottage - Minehead dog friendly?
Yes, Apple Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has a private enclosed garden that opens directly off the lounge, giving your dogs easy outdoor access without needing to pass through communal areas.
Are dogs allowed at Apple Cottage - Minehead year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend confirming directly with the property when you book. What we can say is that the setup — enclosed garden, walkable beach, and Exmoor nearby — makes it a practical base for dogs in any season.
What should I know before visiting Apple Cottage - Minehead with my dog?
Apple Cottage is part of a larger complex with a swimming pool and shared facilities, so you'll have neighbours rather than complete seclusion — worth bearing in mind if your dogs are easily distracted or vocal. On the upside, Dunster Beach is just seven tenths of a mile away, and the medieval village of Dunster is within a mile, meaning you can put together several distinct walks without moving the car.
