How we make holidays special for you and your four-legged friends at The Cottage Beyond, The Nest and Yonder View.

Here at The Cottage Beyond, Yonder View, and our newest retreat, The Nest, we know that your dog is part of the family. When you’re planning a countryside escape, it can be stressful to think about leaving them behind or finding somewhere that truly welcomes dogs rather than just tolerates them. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to be genuinely dog-friendly, not just dog-allowing.

We believe that holidays should be easy, relaxed, and inclusive, so whether your four-legged friend is joining you for long country walks or curling up by your feet after a busy day exploring, we’ve thought carefully about how to make both you and your dog feel completely at home.

What Makes Our Properties Perfect for Dogs
From the very start of planning our holiday lets, dogs were a priority. Here’s how we make sure both humans and pups have the best possible stay:

1. Enclosed, safe outdoor spaces
   We know how important it is for dogs to be able to have a good sniff and explore safely. All three properties have large, fenced gardens giving you peace of mind while your dog enjoys the fresh Somerset air.
2. Dog showers for muddy adventures
   Our countryside location is perfect for long walks through woods, streams, and fields although that often means muddy paws! At The Nest, you’ll find a dedicated dog shower, making clean-ups quick and easy before heading inside. Both The Cottage Beyond and Yonder View have hoses outside for washing off those muddy paws.
3. Welcome treats and essentials
   We want your dog to feel as welcome as you do, so we provide thoughtful touches including dog treats, towels, water bowls, and even dog-friendly information about local walks.
4. Stunning walks right from the door
   Our farm is surrounded by footpaths, fields, and woodland trails, meaning you don’t need to jump in the car to enjoy a walk. From stream-side rambles to wide open fields, there’s plenty of variety for curious noses and wagging tails.
5. Space to relax after a busy day
   Our spacious living areas mean there’s always room for a dog bed (or for your dog to sprawl happily on the rug!). After a day of adventures, there’s nothing better than everyone relaxing together.

Why Being Dog-Friendly Matters to Us
As dog owners ourselves, we understand how much joy dogs bring to family life. We’ve seen first-hand how special holidays can be when dogs are included. They encourage families to get outside, explore new places, and create memories together.
By offering dog-friendly accommodation, we’re making sure that no one gets left behind because, after all, a family holiday should be for the whole family.

Tips for Bringing Your Dog to Stay With Us
To help everyone have the best possible stay, here are a few things to keep in mind when visiting:

• Bring your dog’s bed and favourite toys so they feel at home.
• Keep dogs on leads when walking through farmland to protect wildlife and livestock.
• Pack a few extra towels if your dog loves splashing in the stream!
• Check out our local guide for the best dog-friendly pubs and cafes nearby.

Plan Your Next Dog-Friendly Holiday
Whether it’s for a peaceful weekend away or a week-long family adventure, our Somerset properties are designed to welcome dogs with open arms (and a wagging tail or two!).
Come and explore the woods, splash in the streams, and relax together in comfort. Because at The Cottage Beyond, Yonder View, and The Nest, every member of the family deserves a wonderful holiday.
