Is The Love Shack - Somerset dog friendly?

The Love Shack is exceptionally dog friendly, welcoming up to five dogs — one of the highest allowances you'll find anywhere. The enclosed garden includes an outdoor doggy shower, which makes it particularly practical for households with multiple dogs coming back from muddy walks.

Are dogs allowed at The Love Shack - Somerset year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, but we'd recommend contacting the property directly to confirm availability and any conditions around your stay.

What should I know before visiting The Love Shack - Somerset with my dog?

The garden is enclosed, which is great for peace of mind, and the outdoor doggy shower means you can rinse dogs off after walks before they come inside — a genuine practical bonus if you're bringing several dogs. Walking is a short drive rather than from the doorstep, but there are some worthwhile routes nearby, including a well-rated circular walk taking in Farleigh Hungerford Castle and the River Frome at 8.6 miles. Check-in is from 2:30pm.

Five dogs. The Love Shack welcomes that many, and it is an eclectic, creative country cottage at Coleford, full of funky art and clever design, with an enclosed garden, a wood burning hot tub that is heated and ready for your arrival, and an outdoor hose and doggy shower for muddy paws. All in all, it makes for a dog friendly stay to remember.

You come in through the stable door into the country cottage kitchen, well equipped for a hearty breakfast before a day out. It links through to the open plan sitting and dining space, where a large wood burner and a big Smart TV with Sky are ready for the evening, and a lovely welcome hamper gets the holiday started. The dogs will have found the warmth of the fire before the hamper is unpacked.

Upstairs are two stylish king size bedrooms, each with its own character and plenty of storage, and a family bathroom where a slipper roll top bath stands alongside a separate shower. Outside awaits a beautiful, secluded garden. There is a dining table on the gravelled patio, a large lawn that the dogs will make their own, and a big campfire and barbecue grill to gather around, so remember the marshmallows. Every so often a cow comes to visit at the window.

Historic Frome is 6 miles away, with its contemporary art scene, galleries, eateries and the independent market on the first Sunday of each month, a good morning out before the dogs have their walk. Bath, Wells, Bruton and The Newt are all within reach, Babington House is close by, and Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge make fun family days out.
