Luxury Dog Friendly Cottages Somerset
With Enclosed Gardens & Hot Tubs
Welcome to our Quantock Cottages in Somerset
Welcome to our Quantock Cottages, which are set high in the Quantock Hills near Taunton, Somerset. A place where understated luxury, privacy and the beauty of the countryside come together.
Discover our Quantock Hide, Coleridge & Greenway which make up our collection of luxury dog-friendly cottages and La Caravane, our luxury secluded woodland glamping retreat. Our boutique properties were created for couples, families and devoted dog owners seeking something truly special.
Our cottages feature private 6ft enclosed gardens, covered hot tubs and access to secure dog exercise fields, while La Caravane offers a private woodland escape with the same sense of space and freedom.
No shared spaces. No interruptions. Just refined, dog-friendly retreats designed for switching off and spending precious quality time together.
What We Have & What Makes Us Different
Well, quite a lot, really!
Simon and I created Quantock Cottages 16 years ago on our private country estate because when we wanted to holiday with our own dogs, we simply couldn’t find anywhere that offered the luxury, privacy and freedom we were looking for.
So we built it ourselves – and everything here has been created with dogs and their humans in mind.
We have, for you and your dogs, not just a holiday or break but a totally immersive and spoiling experience where you can Dream Relax & Unwind and spend quality time together - a family, tails, paws and wet noses obviously included...
Truly dog-friendly. Dogs are not just tolerated; they are welcomed with open paws and an open heart
Perfect for nervous & reactive dogs. Peace, privacy and understanding in a wonderfully quiet setting
Enclosed gardens
Exclusive dog exercise fields. Private, secure fields for off-lead adventures, including our 2-acre woodland.
9,000 acres on your doorstep – endless countryside walks across the Quantock Hills, with the coast just 1.5 miles away
"Emma & Simon, thank you for providing this oasis of luxury & tranquillity. It is the first holiday our reactive rescue dog has been settled, which meant we too were able to relax" Sandy, Shaun and Juan. August 2026

For Your Dogs
Because They Are The Most Important Members Of The Family!
Your dogs are our guests too! From the moment you arrive, they can expect freedom, space and plenty of adventures, with secure places to run, miles of beautiful countryside to explore and a peaceful home-from-home to relax in afterwards.
Our gardens are enclosed with 6ft fencing, giving your dogs plenty of freedom to enjoy the outdoors.
We call them secure, but no garden can be completely escape-proof – especially for a determined digger or a dog who arrives with their own ladder!
This year alone we have hosted over 250 doggie guests and they have all been safely contained.
Our three private dog exercise fields offer the ultimate freedom for off-lead adventures, with every field reserved exclusively for our guests.
With two agility courses and a beautiful 2-acre enclosed woodland.
Your dogs can run, explore and get wonderfully close to nature – all within their own private space, away from the public.
We understand that holidays can be challenging for nervous and reactive dogs – which is why we created our Quantock Cottages with them in mind.
Most of our dog guests are nervous or reactive, so our peaceful, private spaces are designed to give them freedom, confidence and the chance to simply be dogs, without the worry of busy town environments.
Nestled within our own private country estate, our retreats are surrounded by peace, nature and beautiful Somerset countryside.
You and your dogs can enjoy a truly tranquil escape, away from the crowds and surrounded by space to simply relax and unwind.
Step straight from your garden onto the magnificent Quantock Hills, where miles of beautiful, very quiet countryside await exploration – perfect for nervous and reactive dogs.
With the Somerset coast just down the road, this truly is a special place to escape, explore and enjoy together.

"Emma & Simon we can't say enough to express our thanks to the both of you. Your wonderful welcome, our special treats that Simon made for us. You really can't underestimate the power of your little piece of heaven that you both have created here. Love and best wishes Pauline & Mick" (& Lola The Border Collie 10th August 2026)
We are lucky to welcome many guests who return year after year (and often several times of year - their dogs insist on it!) and we're especially proud that so much of our business comes through recommendations and word of mouth.
Ultimately, the best luxury isn't about how much you have. It's about having space, privacy, beautiful surroundings and time together with both your two and the four-legged family members
Come and discover our Quantock Cottages – luxury dog friendly holidays in the heart of Somerset.
Simon and & I can't wait to meet you and to spoil you as we love sharing this truly special and hidden gem of an an area with like minded doggie lovers.

Our three dog-friendly cottages are genuine homes-from-home, full of character, warmth and those little touches that make a stay feel special.
And for something a little different, La Caravane offers a luxurious woodland glamping experience, with all the comforts you could wish for.
Dogs are very much part of the family here. They are welcome throughout our properties, including on the furniture, and every retreat has its own private, purpose-built 6ft enclosed garden where they can enjoy some freedom outside.
Then there are our three private dog exercise fields, created especially for our guests. They are exclusively for dogs staying at Coleridge, Greenway, The Quantock Hide and La Caravane, with no public access.
Our 2-acre enclosed woodland gives them the chance to run, sniff and explore surrounded by nature.
Because we know how difficult busy environments can be for nervous and reactive dogs, our private country estate is deliberately peaceful.
With just two elderly horses and no other farm animals, there are fewer of the everyday triggers that can make a holiday stressful.
For the humans, there are romantic hot tubs, cosy open fires, beautiful interiors and plenty of opportunities to simply slow down and enjoy being together.
Our location on the Quantock Hills, close to the Somerset coast and within easy reach of London and the Midlands, makes us a wonderful base for countryside adventures, coastal walks and relaxing short breaks.
Above all, Simon and I want you to feel that you are coming to stay with us, rather than simply booking a holiday cottage.
We don't use third-party agencies, and our guests – both two-legged and four-legged – are genuinely important to us. With around 75% of our guests choosing to return, we hope that says something about the experience we have create
