Is Summer Lodge dog friendly?

Yes, Summer Lodge welcomes up to two dogs. The single-level log cabin has an enclosed garden with a lawn and large patio, making it a comfortable and practical base for dogs and their owners alike.

Are dogs allowed at Summer Lodge year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the setup — an enclosed garden, single-level layout and direct access to open hill walking — suits a year-round visit well. The covered hot tub pagoda is noted as a particularly practical feature given Somerset's weather, which gives you a sense of how the property is designed to be used in all seasons.

What should I know before visiting Summer Lodge with my dog?

The maximum is two dogs, so it's worth confirming this fits your pack before booking. The real draw for dog owners is the walking: Staple Plain is less than a mile away and the Quantock Hills route over Great Wood and Beacon Hill is under a mile in the other direction, offering open heath and ancient oak woodland where a steady dog can have a good run off the lead midweek. If you fancy a change of scene, the coast at Stolford and Lilstock is around four and a half miles away.

Book now

Panoramic views across the Somerset Levels open out from Summer Lodge, a luxurious and beautifully stylish detached lodge in the heart of the Quantocks. Two well behaved dogs are welcome at this peaceful dog friendly lodge for two, and the enclosed garden has a hot tub sheltered under a bespoke wooden pagoda.

The open plan layout is relaxed and accommodating. The lounge is decorated in a contemporary style, with an electric fire and a wall mounted TV with DVD, while slow mornings happen at the breakfast bar in the well equipped kitchen. After a day in the hills, the dogs will be happy to curl up while the evening settles in. The bedroom has a super king size bed, built in wardrobe space and floor to ceiling windows with gorgeous views across rolling fields, with the en suite shower room attached.

The enclosed garden outside holds a lawn for the dogs, a large patio with barbecue facilities and the hot tub under its pagoda. Evenings here are for sinking into the warm water and star gazing, the dogs nearby on the grass, or for heading out to one of the local pubs for a signature taste of the West Country.

Nether Stowey Castle, whose earthworks look out to Glastonbury Tor on the horizon, is close by, and the poet Coleridge's former home is now a National Trust attraction in the centre of the village. The pebbled beach at Kilve is 3 miles away for a seaside walk with the dogs, and the Quantock Hills themselves offer a wealth of exploring.
