Book now

A decked and covered terrace with a bistro set, and an enclosed garden with a fire pit BBQ in it. Red Apple Lodge at Claverham sleeps two, takes one dog, and it is gated, which with a dog that bolts the moment a car door opens is worth a great deal more than it sounds.

Goblin Combe lies two and seven tenths off with an eight from us, a limestone gorge in the Mendip foothills with yew and ash woodland along the bottom, open scree above, and far fewer people than Cheddar to keep a dog on the lead for. The Dundry Hill and Maes Knoll circular is seven and six tenths, Crook Peak seven and seven tenths, and the Cheddar Gorge outer woodland loop the same distance, all three carrying eights.

Nineteen guest ratings. The covered terrace is the practical element for one dog and two people, because a lodge this size needs its outdoor space to be usable in the rain rather than only in July. Four hundred and ninety seven pounds, and Bristol Airport ten minutes away if anyone is flying in to join you.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
