Is Ivy Cottage - Littleworth dog friendly?

Yes, Ivy Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The large enclosed garden wraps around two sides of the cottage from the kitchen door, giving dogs plenty of space to explore, and it's strung with lights so late-evening outings are easy rather than a fumble in the dark.

Are dogs allowed at Ivy Cottage - Littleworth year round?

The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's best to check directly with the owner to confirm availability for your dates. What the description does make clear is that the setup — enclosed garden, ground-floor bathroom, and nearby walking — is designed with dogs as a given, not an afterthought.

What should I know before visiting Ivy Cottage - Littleworth with my dog?

The most important thing to know is that Amberley Common, right on the doorstep, is grazed by cattle for much of the year, so dogs will need to go on leads up on that ground. The description is refreshingly upfront about this: leads on the common, then off in the valleys below — better to know before you're in the middle of a field. It's also worth noting that the nearby ridge walks toward Hetty Pegler's Tump and Uley Bury are well suited to two dogs, running level between two landmarks well worth the trip.

Ivy Cottage has a dog washing station in its garden, along with a spot to leave muddy boots, so two dogs back from Minchinhampton Common are sorted before they set a paw inside. This wonderful 19th century cottage sits in Littleworth, Amberley, a pretty Cotswold village on the edge of both Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons, and this roomy, dog friendly home sleeps six.

The front door opens into a charming reception room with comfortable seating and boot storage, just right for mapping out tomorrow's walk. Off it is a spacious full height lounge with beams and a wood burner, where the dogs sprawl out for movie night. A separate snug with gaming consoles is made for fun, and the kitchen has a dining table for six that extends to seat eight. A utility room and downstairs shower room sit next to the kitchen, and upstairs are three uniquely designed bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a freestanding tub.

The large enclosed garden wraps around the cottage from outside the kitchen, festooned with garden lights. There are four pretty seating areas, including a pergola with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ for dining outdoors, and the dogs have plenty of room to roam between them. Come Christmas, festive decorations go up too.

The Commons are home to rare plants, butterflies and grazing cows, with sweeping panoramic views across Stroud's Five Valleys, and the Cotswold Way is easily reached for longer days with the dogs. The fantastic local pub is just 200 metres away, and Stroud, the Covent Garden of the Cotswolds, is 2 miles off, with award winning farmers' markets and eclectic shops.
