Little Quarme Cottages - Dog Friendly Accommodation in Wheddon Cross, Exmoor National Park, Somerset
Six self catering dog friendly holiday cottages in a superb secluded south facing location with lovely gardens set amid 18 acres in Exmoor National Park. The holiday cottages are 1,000 foot above sea level at the head of the Quarme Valley... a very special place.. abundant wildlife... fresh air... stars in the sky..
Little Quarme Cottages are approached by a quarter-mile private drive and offer you peace and tranquility in a traffic free, secure environment with panoramic southerly views across Exmoor. There are stunning views down the Quarme Valley where you can occasionally spot wild Exmoor red deer basking in the evening sunshine and buzzards soaring overhead.
Little Quarme is located within walking distance across the fields of Wheddon Cross village which has a popular pub and well-stocked village shop. Other easily accessible landmarks include Dunkery Beacon (a lovely long walk from LQ), Dunster (7 miles), Porlock (7 miles) and Minehead (9 miles).
Each self-catering cottage has a small garden or patio with garden furniture amid well-kept larger gardens and grounds where guests are free to roam. We have an outdoor hot and cold dog shower, and we supply a dog pack including a water bowl, collar tags with our details in case they go for an unsanctioned adventure, treats, toys, blankets for the furniture, tick pullers, and more. We charge £5 per dog per stay, and dogs are allowed throughout the property. In public areas they need to be on lead – we have free range chickens, pygmy goats that occasionally escape their field, and occasionally other livestock on the some of the fields. However, we always have some fields available where you can let your dogs run and we have both public footpaths and bridleways leading directly from the site.
All cottages come well equipped with Tyneham Luxury toiletries, towels from The White Company, and recently replaced beds. Nescafe Gold Blend Coffee, Tetley tea, and a selection of Pukka herbal teas are provided alongside the basics like cooking oil, cling film, foil, and kitchen roll. All cottages have an oven, microwave, toaster, and kettle while the two and three bedroom cottages also have a dishwasher and washing machine. Irons and ironing boards are provided, along with hair dryers, while the sitting rooms all have plenty of literature on the local area, free-sat TVs and electric flame-effect fires. All cottages have a bath with shower over, with good water pressure and their own combi-boilers providing endless hot water. We have ample free parking and brace of EV Chargers too, and there is wi-fi throughout the site. We also have a games room and events room with table tennis, table football, and boardgames – this communal space can also be exclusively hired for dinner parties, training courses, and other events and has its own kitchen and toilets. There is also a giant BBQ and garden games like croquet, giant Jenga, Quiots, and giant Connect4 can be hired. A complimentary Cream Tea is provided for all guests on arrival too!
