1 / 20Exmoor Farm Cottages - Stags View
Wheddon Cross, Somerset
A two bedroom farm cottage at Wheddon Cross with a small enclosed garden, two dogs welcome, and Dunkery Beacon a mile and a half up the hill.
Wheddon Cross sits at nearly a thousand feet, which makes it the highest village on Exmoor and comfortably the coldest address in this tranche. Stags View is a two bedroom cottage on a farm there, adults only, with an open fire and two dogs welcome.
Dunkery Beacon is a mile and a half away and is the highest point on Exmoor, reached from Dunkery Gate on a walk that rates an eight with us. Horner Wood is three and eight tenths, ancient oak and among the largest such woodlands in the country. Selworthy Beacon is four and eight tenths, Porlock Weir four and nine tenths. Heather, whortleberry, red deer and moorland air, and a dog that likes distance will be in its element inside an hour.
Three steps lead down to a small enclosed garden, modest in size but genuinely enclosed. The farm has streams and ponds across it, which is why the cottages take nobody under sixteen, and it is worth knowing with a dog that goes into water without being asked. Two dogs at four hundred and seventy two pounds makes this the cheapest Somerset entry on the list.

Is Exmoor Farm Cottages - Stags View dog friendly?
Yes, Stags View welcomes up to two dogs. It's a two bedroom farm cottage at Wheddon Cross on Exmoor, with a small enclosed garden and some of the best moorland walking in the country right on the doorstep — Dunkery Beacon is just a mile and a half away.
Are dogs allowed at Exmoor Farm Cottages - Stags View year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest they aren't welcome year round. Do confirm directly with the property when booking, particularly if you're planning a winter stay — Wheddon Cross is the highest village on Exmoor and can be genuinely cold.
What should I know before visiting Exmoor Farm Cottages - Stags View with my dog?
The farm has streams and ponds across it, so if your dog tends to take itself for a swim without being asked, it's worth keeping that in mind when you're out on the farm grounds. The enclosed garden is a useful bonus for keeping dogs contained, though it's described as modest in size. On the upside, the surrounding moorland is exceptional for dogs that like distance — heather, red deer, ancient oak woodland, and a network of walks rated highly by us all within a few miles.
