The garden is reached through double patio doors and the owners call it a suntrap, which in a converted coach house is the detail worth having. Cosy Coach Cottage takes five at Blakeney, dog friendly, three bedrooms and a bathroom, with that enclosed garden on the far side of them. Two dogs are welcome. Doors that wide mean the inside and the outside work as a single room.

Five people across three bedrooms is a comfortable arrangement rather than a tight one, and the conversion has been done carefully, with contemporary fittings put inside an old coach house whose original shape is still perfectly legible. Two dogs go in and out through those patio doors all day, which is quietly the most useful thing a holiday let can offer anybody travelling with animals.

Blakeney sits between the forest and the Severn, which gives a week here two entirely different characters to choose between and no need to settle on one. Anybody who fishes will find water close by. This suits a family of five who mean to be outdoors, with two dogs that will be caked to the elbow by ten and asleep by nine.

Up the valley 2.4 miles, Soudley Ponds are a chain of small lakes dug for iron working and now sitting quietly under the trees with a path running round them. The Dean Forest Railway takes steam along the old line up from Lydney a few miles off. Below the village the Severn opens out towards its estuary. Two dogs get the ponds, a short flat circuit that does nicely for an evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cosy Coach Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Cosy Coach Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The cottage has an enclosed garden accessed through wide double patio doors, which makes coming and going with dogs genuinely easy throughout the day.
Are dogs allowed at Cosy Coach Cottage 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 do know is that the setup — enclosed garden, wide patio doors, good walking nearby — suits dogs whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Cosy Coach Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes a maximum of two dogs, so if you're travelling with more it's worth checking with the owners before booking. The enclosed garden is a real practical asset, and the surrounding area offers good variety for dog walks — Soudley Ponds is a flat, quiet circuit around a chain of small lakes just 2.4 miles up the valley, and the Forest of Dean and the River Severn are both close by.
