1 / 24Fox Cottage At Bigmoor
Withypool, Somerset
Three dogs on Exmoor for four hundred and ten pounds, in a cottage for two with a fully enclosed garden and Tarr Steps five miles off.
Four hundred and ten pounds for two people and three dogs, in the middle of Exmoor. Fox Cottage at Bigmoor near Withypool has a fully enclosed garden with furniture and a charcoal BBQ, and thirty five guest ratings behind it.
Tarr Steps is four and eight tenths of a mile and one of only two nines in Somerset on our map, a clapper bridge of seventeen stone slabs across the Barle that has been there since the Bronze Age, with ancient oak woodland along both banks. Dunkery Beacon from Dunkery Gate is four and three tenths with an eight, Wimbleball Lake five and two tenths, Horner Wood seven, and a dog can be off the lead on most of it.
Three dogs at this price is the headline and Withypool is the rest of it. This is properly remote Exmoor, moorland in every direction, and a fully enclosed garden matters a great deal more here than it would in a village, because the alternative boundary is several thousand acres of open moor.

Is Fox Cottage At Bigmoor dog friendly?
Fox Cottage at Bigmoor is dog friendly, and generously so — the listing accommodates up to three dogs alongside two people for £410. The cottage has a fully enclosed garden, which is a real bonus given its location deep in Exmoor, where the surrounding moorland stretches for thousands of acres in every direction.
Are dogs allowed at Fox Cottage At Bigmoor year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, but nothing in the available information suggests any time-of-year limitations. If year-round availability is important to you, it's worth confirming directly with the owner before booking.
What should I know before visiting Fox Cottage At Bigmoor with my dog?
The fully enclosed garden is one of the most practical features here — on properly remote Exmoor moorland, it gives your dogs a safe space to roam without the open moor as your only boundary. Beyond the cottage, the walking is exceptional: Tarr Steps is under five miles away, a Bronze Age clapper bridge with ancient oak woodland along the Barle, and dogs can be off the lead on most of Horner Wood, around seven miles out.
