Is Red Apple Lodge dog friendly?

Yes, Red Apple Lodge welcomes one dog. The property has an enclosed garden with a fire pit BBQ and a covered terrace, and the whole place is gated — genuinely useful if your dog has a habit of making a dash for it the moment you open the car door.

Are dogs allowed at Red Apple Lodge year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the setup suggests year-round visits are very much catered for. The covered terrace is a particularly practical touch, giving you usable outdoor space whatever the weather rather than only on the handful of days it's warm enough to sit outside in Somerset.

What should I know before visiting Red Apple Lodge with my dog?

The lodge takes one dog, so it's worth confirming that when you book if you're hoping to bring more. The garden is enclosed and the property is gated, which makes it a relaxed base for dogs that aren't always reliable off-lead. Goblin Combe, a limestone gorge with yew and ash woodland, is around three miles away and rated highly as a walk — and it's notably quieter than nearby Cheddar.

Red Apple Lodge is a charming, romantic and dog friendly retreat for two at Claverham, halfway between Bristol and Weston-super-Mare, with plenty of walking routes straight from the front door. One small dog is very welcome at this pet friendly lodge, and the pretty enclosed garden is made for meals outside.

You reach the front door through the picket fenced garden and up onto the terrace. Inside, the lodge opens into one cosy open plan room with comfortable seating, a wood burner with a basket of logs provided, and a Smart TV, a lovely place to relax after a busy day out with the dog. Kitchen kit runs from an air fryer to a coffee machine, a little luxury for morning coffee on the veranda.

The tranquil king size bedroom is the place to restore and recharge, with a shower room for the morning. The covered, decked veranda has a bistro set and is a calming spot to star gaze, chat about the day or read while the fire pit barbecue warms up, and the dog can stretch out beside you. At the back of the lodge there is a handy outdoor hose to keep dogs and bikes clean after a walk.

Clevedon is 6.4 miles away, with boutique shops, a pretty pier and fantastic restaurants, and Cheddar Gorge and its caves lie in the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Weston-super-Mare has miles of golden sandy beach for strolling with the dog, and Bristol, a city with a rich heritage, is close enough for museums, galleries and shopping.

We research every description carefully and believe it to be accurate, but details can change. Please confirm anything important, especially dog rules, with the booking agent or property owner before you book.
