1 / 17The Apple Orchard In Somerset
Washford, Somerset
A single storey wooden cabin for five down a private farm lane near Washford, with a wood burner, a decked veranda, an enclosed garden over the fields and one dog welcome.
Down a private farm lane near Washford, The Apple Orchard is a peaceful and deceptively spacious single storey wooden cabin on a private estate. It sleeps five and welcomes one dog, and the enclosed garden is, as the listing puts it, ideal for you and your four legged friend. This immaculately presented dog friendly hideaway has modern, unique interiors full of light.
The living space is open plan, light and airy, and its lounge pairs a warming wood burner and Smart TV with comfortable seating that overlooks the garden, and once the dog has had its evening stroll this is where everyone gets cosy for a film. A well equipped kitchen and a useful utility room complete the space.
An ornate hand forged bed takes pride of place in the king size room at one end of the cabin, and at the other end a twin room and a single room, plus a family bathroom. Evenings belong to the decked veranda, sitting out under the stars to the sound of owls and frogs with the dog at your feet. Below it, the enclosed garden looks out over the surrounding fields to a neighbouring stream and large wildlife ponds, kept apart from the garden by a hedge and post and wire fencing. There is a picnic table and a charcoal barbecue.
The farm lane doubles as a footpath to the nearby pub and cider farm, so the dog's first outing can end with a drink. Watchet, 2.5 miles off, has a marina and harbour with rock pooling and fossil hunting beaches on either side, and Blue Anchor and Dunster add pebble and sand. Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills give a dog and its walkers plenty to explore.

What should I know before visiting The Apple Orchard In Somerset with my dog?
