Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 10 - Dulverton (2mls SE), Somerset

Relax in the hot tub and gaze out across the rolling Somerset countryside from this welcoming retreat. Situated 1.5 miles from Brushford and 12 miles from Tiverton, the spacious sanctuary is perfect for a larger group. Sleeping ten guests, and welcoming two four-legged friends, the five-bedroom holiday home is surrounded by a sizeable, enclosed garden.

Make your way into the gorgeous, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its vaulted ceiling and windows framing the picturesque views. Pull the garden doors open in the summertime, so everyone can meander outside. Let the chefs in your party loose in the high-quality, chic kitchen area, where they will find all they need.

Gather on the soft seating to watch the Smart TV and round the dining table for your fabulous Somerset feasts. There is also a handy utility room. As night falls, amble through to one of your exquisite bedrooms, each of which has a TV for your enjoyment.

These include three king-sized, two of which are ground floor, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other with an en-suite shower room. There is also a twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room on the ground floor. Another king-size and a second twin can be found on the floor above, each again with the privacy of an en-suite shower room.

Play games with children or pets out in the large garden, where there is even a dog washing area. Treat yourself to an outdoor shower before you hop into the steaming hot tub for a long soak. Dine on the patio as the sun sets over the fields.

There is ample off-road parking. Venture just over 0.5 miles to find yourselves in the splendid Exmoor National Park. Venture 3 miles into Dulverton to stock up on local produce and dine out.

Head to the coast at Minehead, 17.5 miles away.
