1 / 24Moat Cottage
Whichford, Warwickshire
A two bedroom cottage for four at Whichford in south Warwickshire, with an enclosed rear garden, a wood burner and one dog welcome.
The church has eight bells and they mark the hours, and the owners list that among the things to enjoy rather than the things to know about. Moat Cottage takes four at Whichford, dog friendly, two bedrooms with an enclosed garden behind and one dog welcome. A village that still rings the hours is a particular kind of quiet, and it is not the same thing as silence.
The wood burner does more than warm the room it stands in. A stone cottage this size holds on to whatever a fire gives it, and the lounge collects all four of them and the dog by seven whether or not anybody meant it to. Upstairs there is a king and a twin over a single bathroom, and the garden behind is shut on every side, which is what lets the back door open without a lead in the other hand.
It suits four people who wanted a green and a lane leading off it. Whichford is a long village green with a pottery at one end that has been throwing flowerpots by hand here for fifty years, and the lanes out of it climb onto the ridge between Warwickshire and Oxfordshire. One dog gets an enclosed garden to come back to and a place that never needs the car started.
Whichford Wood, a mile east, is old woodland along the escarpment edge with wide rides cut through it and hardly anybody on them. Compton Wynyates lies further north, a Tudor house of pink brick and twisted chimneys set so deep in its own hollow that you do not see it until you are above it. One dog gets forest tracks and a ridge with three counties underneath.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Moat Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Moat Cottage welcomes one dog. The cottage has an enclosed rear garden, so your dog can head outside freely without needing to be on a lead every time you open the back door.
Are dogs allowed at Moat 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 can say is that with a wood burner, an enclosed garden and woodland a mile away, it works well as a dog-friendly base in any season.
What should I know before visiting Moat Cottage with my dog?
The cottage accepts one dog, so it's not suitable for households with multiple dogs. The enclosed rear garden is a real practical bonus, and Whichford Wood — old woodland with wide rides cut through it — is just a mile east if your dog needs a proper run out.
