The Old Saddlery

Timberscombe, Somerset

A two bedroom cottage at Timberscombe with an enclosed garden, two dogs welcome, an open fire and Dunster two and a half miles down the valley.

Timberscombe is a village in the Avill valley between Dunster and Exmoor proper, and almost nothing happens there, which at four hundred and sixty pounds is precisely the point. The Old Saddlery is a two bedroom cottage with an open fire and two dogs welcome.

Dunster lies two and a half miles down the valley with its castle, its Yarn Market and its Butter Cross, and Dunster Beach at two and six tenths takes a seven from us. Behind the village the ground rises straight onto Exmoor, so a dog gets valley walking from the doorstep and open moorland within a short drive, none of it involving a coast road in August.

The garden is enclosed, with gated shared access across the rear path, and that is worth picturing before you arrive: the gate is what makes it work, and it is shared. For two dogs in a village this quiet it is usually fine, but it is the sort of thing to check on the first morning rather than assume. Twenty guest ratings, and the cheapest Somerset week on this list.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is The Old Saddlery dog friendly?

    Yes, The Old Saddlery welcomes up to two dogs. It's a two bedroom cottage in the quiet village of Timberscombe, with an enclosed garden and an open fire to come home to after a day out.

  • Are dogs allowed at The Old Saddlery year round?

    The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the cottage has real advantages in quieter months — Exmoor walking from the doorstep and valley routes that avoid the coast road in August. It's worth confirming directly with the owner if you're planning a specific time of year.

  • What should I know before visiting The Old Saddlery with my dog?

    The garden is enclosed, which is great for dogs, but access is via a gated shared rear path — so it's worth understanding how that works before you arrive rather than assuming. The listing suggests checking the gate setup on your first morning, and for two dogs in a village this quiet it's generally fine, but it's the kind of detail that's good to be aware of.
