IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE QUANTOCK WAY OF LIFE

Experience True Somerset Country Life

Escape the rodent race and nurse your weary soul back to full throttle by allowing your senses to take over as they enjoy spending not just quality but precious time with your loved ones both four and two legged. Walk the moors, run the beaches, explore the fabulous local farm shops and drink at any one of the quirky coffee shops, through to having naughty but oh so delicious cream teas in old fashioned tea rooms, or dine in "proper" village pubs of yester-year or savour the delights of our local stylish restaurants where farm to fork miles really do count.

Play Like A Local

Places To Visit

From the medival Dunster Castle to the historic towns of Bath & Wells to wonders of Hestercombe Gardens this area has something for everyone

Energetic Things

To Do

For those that like to MTB, ride, surf, go caving or running, the Quantocks and surrounding area are your play ground in waiting

Not So Energetic

Things To Do

Maybe a round of golf at a seaside course call, or a spot of lake fishing, or perhaps visiting a museum or simply chilling in your garden sound the best.

Do Something Unusual

Have you ever taken a sheep for a walk? How about learning to fly a bird of prey or lean to connect with nature through mindful foraging.

HEAD TO THE COAST

There is nothing like a going to the seaside to lift the spirits and to allow ones inner child to take control whilst giving the adult you much needed time off. Why not search for 20 million year old ammonites amongst the rock pools at the local Kilve beach or build castles in the sand at Blue Anchor or possibly run you and the dogs along the 7 miles stetch of sandy beach at Bream or if you are feeling very wicked, why not stop for a cheeky ice cream or better still fish and chips fresh out of the newspaper while sitting on the sea wall.

HEAD TO THE FARM SHOP

A sense experience for the eyes and the tummy. With the 3 wonderful farm shops of Rumwell and Wellington, Pynes at Bridgwater and the shop of Blackmore Nr Cannington wonderful freshest produce will never be far away.

SPEND PROPER QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR PUPS

When do you usually have time just to enjoy your loved ones be 4 legged with waggie tails or the 2 legged varierty. So often our K9 family get the crumbs of our time - they are after all the least demanding and the love us unconditionally, so take time out to return this love - just by being with them and spending "them" time doing the things that they love. Maybe that's a run on the beach, a play with a ball in one of our 3 enclosed doggie exercise paddocks or good old yomp across the moors.

Drink Like A Local

Emma's Gins

Some of the very best boutique artisan gin and gin liqueur makers are Somerset based and they are simply delicious

Simon's Beers 

Be warned the Somerset native beer looks beautiful and harmless but it can have a kick like a mule!

Both Our Ciders

Somerset is famous for its Ciders and to drink it in the country where it was made really brings the taste to the fore

RELAX IN YOUR COUNTRY GARDEN

Your own private, enclosed, dog secure garden awaits you. The only real decision you have to make is which of your "garden rooms" would you like to sit in. Will it be the east one, morning coffee in hand, the main south facing one which has stunning country and coastal views, or just chilling at your private outside bar in front of your fire pit of evening - so many choices....

DOGS NEED HOLIDAYS TOO

More reports are coming in confirming what all dog owners know but apparently it has now been proven scientifically that dogs really do need holidas as much as their humans and here are the reasons given: 1. Happy you, happy dogs. If you are happy and relaxed so too will be your dogs 2. Being able to spend precious quality time with your dogs who love being with you. 3. Happy dogs are active dogs and in a new area there is lots to sniff out and have time and space for a good play.

SNUGGLE IN FRONT OF THE FIRE

After a long day yomping across the moors, or chasing waves on the beach hunker down in front of your real wood burning fire - who needs a TV when you can watch 1 of natures elements (earth wind and fire) doing what it does best.

GUEST BOOK

Quantock cottages are the best place we have ever stayed. The accommodation is superb, the attention to detail is amazing and Emma and Simon really do love dogs, even dogs like ours that aren’t too fond of people (well unless he can eat them!!)

We’ve found our favourite holiday location and have been 3 times already and our 4th holiday is booked.

Pete, Jackie & Alf
