The enclosed gardens here are terraced, which means the ground steps down in stages rather than lying flat, so a dog covering it goes up and down as much as along. Underwood Farmhouse stands on the Tortworth Estate outside Charfield, five star and dog friendly, sleeping twelve across six bedrooms with four bathrooms between them. Three dogs come with it. Terraced ground interests an animal more than a lawn does, and wears one out faster.

Four bathrooms for twelve is the ratio that makes a house this size work, and it is the number to look at before the bedroom count. There is a burner inside and a hot tub up on the top terrace with seating beside it. Three dogs at twelve people is a real allowance rather than a token one, and it changes which families can come together instead of taking turns.

An evening splits itself here without anybody organising it. Some of the party on the terrace, some round the fire, children somewhere with the games, and three dogs working the steps between levels because that is where the traffic is. The lane up to the village is a country one and the place is quiet enough that the loudest thing after ten is somebody laughing indoors.

Berkeley, 4.5 miles west, has a castle that the same family has lived in for eight hundred and fifty years, with a deer park round it and the room where Edward the Second was murdered still shown. Nearer, on the estate itself, stands a chestnut tree that was already being called ancient in 1150 and is alive now, propped and hollow and enormous. Three dogs get parkland and farm tracks with almost nobody on them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tortworth Estate - Underwood Farmhouse dog friendly?
Yes, Underwood Farmhouse is dog friendly and genuinely so — up to three dogs are welcome, which is a proper allowance for a group of twelve rather than a reluctant concession. The enclosed terraced gardens give dogs room to roam, and the estate beyond offers parkland and farm tracks that rarely see much other foot traffic.
Are dogs allowed at Tortworth Estate - Underwood Farmhouse year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property details suggests they're limited to certain times of year. If year-round availability matters to your booking, it's worth confirming directly with the property when you enquire.
What should I know before visiting Tortworth Estate - Underwood Farmhouse with my dog?
The enclosed gardens are terraced — meaning the ground drops in stages — which gives dogs more to explore than a flat lawn would, but it's worth keeping that in mind if you have a dog that finds uneven ground tricky. Beyond the gardens, the Tortworth Estate itself has parkland and farm tracks to walk, and Berkeley Castle with its deer park is around four and a half miles away, so there's plenty of scope for longer days out.
