Is Chaxhill Barn dog friendly?

Yes, Chaxhill Barn welcomes up to four dogs. The property has a walled garden that encloses both the main barn and the detached annexe, so dogs are safely contained before anyone even reaches the front door — a genuinely practical setup for a group arriving with animals in tow.

Are dogs allowed at Chaxhill Barn year round?

The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability and any conditions around your stay. What is clear is that the setup — walled garden, no nearby road — is designed with dogs as a permanent consideration rather than an afterthought.

What should I know before visiting Chaxhill Barn with my dog?

The walled garden is the key thing: dogs are contained within it as soon as you arrive, with no road nearby, so it's a relaxed environment for letting them settle in. Inside, the barn has low beams and unexpected steps across three floors, so it's worth being aware of the layout if you have a dog that follows you everywhere. The surrounding area offers lanes and orchard country between the River Severn and the Forest of Dean edge, with good walking in the wooded valleys nearby.

Chaxhill Barn is a fabulous stone barn full of original features, set within the privacy of a walled garden near Westbury-on-Severn, with a detached annexe of its own. It sleeps fifteen and welcomes four dogs, a dog friendly choice for family celebrations and mixed groups who like to walk together.

Guests cross the garden to a lobby for coats and boots, the dogs trotting in behind. The main body of the barn is a spacious lounge under vaulted ceilings and original exposed beams, with a wood burner, ample seating and a 75 inch Smart TV with full Sky. A mezzanine landing looks over it, with a pool table and table football, and steps lead down to a formal dining space. The kitchen has a gas Aga, and the snug is the place to break away.

Five bedrooms share the ground floor between them, and a triple of three singles with its own en-suite sits up on the second floor. The detached annexe gives a couple their own space, with open-plan living and a double en-suite upstairs. Outside, the grounds are enclosed within a traditional stone wall, and the front of the barn is set up for barbecuing, with a gas BBQ and a large table and chairs, while the dogs keep the walled garden under review.

Marked paths lead off right from the door, and the dogs can explore the River Severn's banks, where early risers might catch one of the famous spring bores. The Severn & Wye Smokery is just down the road, Westbury on Severn is 1.5 miles away, while Gloucester's cathedral and the Forest of Dean are each 10 miles off.
