1 / 24Henmarsh Cottage
Barton-on-the-Heath, Warwickshire
A two bedroom cottage for four at Barton-on-the-Heath with a fully enclosed garden, a bridle path along the boundary and three dogs welcome.
A bridle path follows the edge of the property, and a bridleway is a better thing to have at a boundary than a footpath: it is wide, there are no stiles on it, and three dogs go along it without anybody being lifted over anything. Henmarsh Cottage takes four at Barton-on-the-Heath in the far south of Warwickshire, dog friendly, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and French doors onto an enclosed garden. That path runs from the gate into open country and does not stop for a long way.
The doors are the useful part. They are large, they open from the sitting room straight onto a sheltered terrace, and the garden past it is enclosed the whole way round, so indoors and outdoors run together for a week with three dogs moving between them. There is a wood burner in there and two bathrooms upstairs.
The village has nothing whatever in it, which turns out to be the recommendation. Barton-on-the-Heath is a green, a church and a few stone houses on the edge of the county, and the Cotswolds proper begin a field or two away without the traffic that usually goes with them. Three dogs at four people is a real allowance and the enclosure is what makes it usable.
Batsford, 5 miles west, is 56 acres of arboretum on a hillside above Moreton, planted with trees brought back from Japan and China in the 1890s and now full grown. Chastleton stands closer the other way, a Jacobean house that ran out of money soon after it was finished and was never altered again. Three dogs are welcome in both, and the lanes between them carry nothing.

Is Henmarsh Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Henmarsh Cottage welcomes up to three dogs. The property has a fully enclosed garden accessible directly from the sitting room through French doors, and a bridle path runs along the boundary and out into open country — no stiles, no lifting, just a wide track heading off for a good distance.
Are dogs allowed at Henmarsh Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth checking directly with the owner to confirm availability at the time you're planning to visit. What we can say is that with a wood burner inside and an enclosed garden, it's set up well for a stay in cooler months too.
What should I know before visiting Henmarsh Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes up to three dogs, which is a generous allowance for a two-bedroom property sleeping four. The enclosed garden means dogs can move freely between the terrace and sitting room without needing to be watched at the door, and the bridleway at the boundary is wide enough for three dogs to walk together without any awkward stile-negotiating. Nearby, Batsford Arboretum and Chastleton House are both dog-friendly days out, each within a few miles.
