1 / 24Church Farm Cottage Staunton
Staunton, Gloucestershire
A two bedroom cottage for four at Staunton near Coleford with two separate enclosed gardens, a four poster and two dogs welcome, near Symonds Yat.
Two enclosed gardens, not one. Church Farm Cottage puts four at Staunton, dog friendly, across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the first garden opening straight off the lounge and a second, plainer one lying beyond it. Two dogs are welcome. Having a pair of them means there is somewhere in the sun from morning to last light without anybody stepping off the property.
The garden off the lounge is the one that gets the use: seating, a door left standing open, and a dog going in and out of it all day without a single person having to get up. The second is quieter and comes into its own later on. Both are properly enclosed, which is the part that counts, and between the two a dog has a genuine choice about where to lie down.
Inside there is a four poster, a fire to sit in front of, and the thick stone walls of a cottage that has stood a long time. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms take four people with nothing to negotiate. This one is for two couples, or a family who want the dogs downstairs and the beds above them, and the evening reliably ends in one room with everybody accounted for.
Staunton keeps two of the strangest stones in England on its doorstep. The Buckstone stands above the village, a great rocking block toppled by vandals in 1885 and hauled back up, and the Suck Stone below it is among the largest free standing boulders in the country, a slab you can walk right round and still fail to take in. The river loop 1.7 miles on still has two hand ferries pulling passengers across on a rope. Two dogs get the stones first.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Church Farm Cottage Staunton dog friendly?
Yes, Church Farm Cottage is dog friendly and welcomes up to two dogs. It's well set up for them too — both gardens are properly enclosed, so your dogs can move freely in and out without you needing to keep a constant eye on the gate.
Are dogs allowed at Church Farm Cottage Staunton year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest they aren't welcome throughout the year. If you want to confirm availability for specific dates, it's worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Church Farm Cottage Staunton with my dog?
The cottage takes a maximum of two dogs, so it's worth noting that limit before you book. On the plus side, both gardens are fully enclosed and the layout means dogs can go in and out of the main garden off the lounge freely all day — and with nearby walks to the Buckstone, the Suck Stone, and Symonds Yat, there's plenty to keep them busy outside the property too.
