1 / 24The Old Cobblers Cottage
Llangrove, Herefordshire
A five star cottage for two at Llangrove near Ross on Wye, with an enclosed front garden reached through a gate, a wood burner and one dog welcome.
The garden at The Old Cobblers Cottage is at the front, reached through the house and then a gate, which is an order of operations worth having straight before a dog is let go. Once through, it is properly enclosed and fenced to hold one, with a table and two chairs out on it. The cottage is five star, dog friendly, and takes two people at Llangrove, a few miles back from the Wye.
It is a compact building and a good one, and the owners recommend a small or medium dog for that reason rather than as a condition. A king-size bed, a shower with a non slip tray under it, and a wood burner that heats the whole downstairs from one corner. Two people and one dog is what this was converted for, and it shows in how little is wasted.
It suits a couple who want the Wye without staying on top of it. Llangrove sits up on the plateau between the river and the Monmouth road, so the lanes out of it are quiet and level, and the descent to the water is a thing you choose rather than a thing the ground decides. One dog gets a village with almost no traffic in it.
Ross on Wye, 5.2 miles north, stands on a red cliff above a horseshoe bend, with a churchyard walk along the top laid out three centuries ago by a man the town has never stopped talking about. The other way the Doward rises over the river, a limestone hill of old quarries with King Arthur's Cave in it, where hyena and mammoth bones came out of the floor. A dog gets the woods on that hill, steep and quiet.

Is The Old Cobblers Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, The Old Cobblers Cottage is a five star, dog-friendly property that welcomes one dog alongside two guests. It was converted with that combination in mind, and it shows — very little space is wasted, and everything from the enclosed garden to the non-slip shower tray has been thought through.
Are dogs allowed at The Old Cobblers Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, so it's best to check directly with the owners when booking to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the cottage is set up for dogs as a matter of course, not as an occasional exception.
What should I know before visiting The Old Cobblers Cottage with my dog?
The owners recommend bringing a small or medium dog, as the cottage is compact — it's guidance rather than a strict condition, but worth taking seriously. The enclosed front garden is reached by going through the house and then a gate, so it's worth getting that sequence clear before you let your dog off the lead. Out in the village, the lanes around Llangrove are quiet and low on traffic, making it a genuinely relaxed base for a dog.
