1 / 20Bodcott - Pembridge
Pembridge, Herefordshire
A five star shepherd hut for two at Pembridge in Herefordshire, with an enclosed garden, a sauna and a heated sun room, and one small dog welcome.
One small dog. That is the rule here and the owners are direct about it, because a hut is a hut whatever has been added to it, and there is a size beyond which an animal and two people cannot share the floor. Bodcott is a five star dog friendly hut at Pembridge with an enclosed garden, a seating area and a fire pit, and for the right sized dog it is a very good small stay.
What has been added to it is unusual. There is an electric sauna, and a separate heated sun room, which is a second space in a building that is otherwise a single one, and most huts cannot offer that at all. A king-size bed, a proper shower, and an enclosure outside for a dog back off the lanes that wants somewhere of its own.
An evening here closes down in a particular order. The sun room warm and lit, the fire pit going out in the garden, a small dog asleep across somebody's feet, and the whole of Herefordshire dark and quiet in every direction beyond the fence. Nothing about the week needs organising and the hut takes no looking after.
The bell tower at Pembridge stands apart from its church, out in the graveyard, timber framed on a stone base and built like the inside of a ship turned upside down, and only a handful of them survive in the country. The village round it is black and white the whole way. Croft Ambrey rises 3.7 miles north, an Iron Age hillfort above the castle of the same name, with sweet chestnuts on the approach that were old before it was, and a dog gets open ground on the top of it.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Bodcott - Pembridge dog friendly?
Yes, Bodcott welcomes dogs — but with one clear condition: one small dog only. The hut has an enclosed garden and a dedicated outdoor enclosure for your dog, so a smaller breed will be comfortable and well catered for here.
Are dogs allowed at Bodcott - Pembridge year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the setup — a fire pit, an electric sauna, and a heated sun room — makes this a place that works well outside of summer too.
What should I know before visiting Bodcott - Pembridge with my dog?
The owners are straightforward about the one small dog rule, and it's worth taking seriously — a shepherd's hut, however well equipped, has limits on space, and this one is designed for two people and a dog of a certain size. On the plus side, your dog gets an enclosed garden, their own outdoor enclosure, and open ground up at Croft Ambrey hillfort 3.7 miles north if they need a proper run.
