The perfect choice for our mini-moon, and the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed (and we’ve done a lot!) Quantock Cottages were the ideal place for us to go with our two labs, after our wedding. A week of pure relaxation with our boys, after the weeks leading up to our big day. So well needed and they didn’t disappoint. Emma and Simon literally thought of everything when they started this business- our dogs were so relaxed it was impossible for us not to be. The house had everything- from allowing us to take our own throws and bedding so the boys could really feel at home on their lovely furniture 😂to personalised gifts and treats for our boys. For their hoomans, the house has everything you need- the kitchen is unreal, we even had spices, cooking oil and many many condiments, crockery, cutlery, and gadgets, and things if we wanted to bbq- which we did- twice, because again, it was so homely that we didn’t need to go out all the time. The hot tub and decoration, quirky photos, memorabilia and notes, giving little pieces of insight into the fabulous family that own Quantock, were just so special too. Aside from all that, the sheer beauty of the area is unreal- 10 steps behind you are 9000 acres of hills and fantastics views, and they cater for literally any dog- old, young, reactive, escape artists- and they clearly love them all! The garden has the most amazing birds, that visit every day- all the little things you may not notice when you’re at home, and life is busy Equally there are so many nice pubs with excellent food within driving distance, or a couple within walking distance as well, and Blue Anchor Beach is sandy and only about 10-15 mins drive. The boys had a great time! I don’t think we have ever been so relaxed in my life, so whilst it was a bit more than we usually pay to go to Devon or Cornwall with the dogs, it was well worth every penny because it wasn’t just a ‘base’ for the week, it was home for a week- and it felt like it! We didn’t want to leave 😂 will definitely go back again. Cannot recommend them enough ❤️ Keep up the great work Emma and Simon because Quantock Cottages really are a hidden gem xxx Jen, Terry, Aslan and Herbie- the Standens!
