1 / 20Willow Wood Cottage - Audlem
Audlem, Cheshire
A two bedroom cottage for three at Audlem in south Cheshire, with an enclosed garden, a paddock beyond it and three dogs welcome.
A cottage sleeping three, and three dogs allowed in it. A double and a single over one bathroom, and an allowance most places twice the size do not offer. Willow Wood Cottage stands at Audlem in the south of Cheshire, dog friendly, with no stairs between the bed, the bath and the back door, and an enclosed garden past that. The constraint at this size is beds rather than animals, and whoever set the terms here had worked that out.
There is a paddock as well as the garden, and the owners have written down which is which. Dogs stay on leads in the paddock; the garden is where they go loose. That is a small, plain instruction and it is worth more than a photograph, because it tells you somebody has stood in both spaces and thought about what happens in each. A dog wash sits outside for whatever comes back on three sets of paws.
Take a couple with one dog and a friend who brings two, and the sums come out. Three animals in a two bedroom cottage sounds like a squeeze and is not, because the sleeping and the washing happen downstairs and the outside absorbs the rest. The gravel sitting area at the back has a table on it and catches most of the day.
Audlem, on the Shropshire Union, is a canal village that gets its character from the water going through it. Fifteen locks lift the cut out of the Cheshire plain in a couple of miles, a long green staircase with a towpath beside every one and boats working up it all season. Three dogs get level walking, gates to wait at and a red brick village at the bottom.

Is Willow Wood Cottage - Audlem dog friendly?
Yes — Willow Wood Cottage welcomes up to three dogs, which is a generous allowance for a two-bedroom cottage. The layout works well for dogs too: no stairs between the bedroom, bathroom and back door, an enclosed garden where dogs can run loose, and a dog wash outside for muddy returns from walks.
Are dogs allowed at Willow Wood Cottage - Audlem year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions on dogs, and the cottage is described as dog friendly without any such caveats. The nearby Shropshire Union Canal towpath is noted as active with boats all season, so there's good walking to be had throughout the year — worth confirming directly with the owners if you're planning an off-season trip.
What should I know before visiting Willow Wood Cottage - Audlem with my dog?
The garden is where dogs can go off-lead, while the paddock beyond it requires dogs to stay on leads — a clear, practical distinction the owners have set out. There's a dog wash outside the cottage, handy after walks along the canal towpath at Audlem, where fifteen locks and level paths give dogs plenty to explore. Three dogs are welcome, so a couple with a dog joining friends who bring their own works out neatly here.
