Dog Friendly Cottages In Taunton

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

• Karl - Verified booking

  The area is not particularly good for dog walkers who are looking for: a.

  Long country walks, as the styles are not dog friendly and in some cases were blocked or locked by farmers. b. a local field to let their dog off for ball throwing etc. The only community field in the vicinity calls for dogs to be kept on a lead. If you want to use the restaurant facility for the Farthings Hotel immediately adjacent, then you really need to book. Not because the place is that popular and there will be a lack of room; but because the owner guests stressed out if everything is not planned and lined up to his liking (told us he'd serve us in about half an hour if we wanted to come back, but made us feel most unwelcome - so we voted with our feet). The fish and chip wagon comes along on a Wednesday, but not when they're on holiday. Not sure how you get to know though, as there's nothing mentioned on their website so we were unfortunately wandering the village looking for them and only to be disappointed. Quist Cottage itself is becoming a little tired now and probably due a good spruce up, but to be fair it's got a lovely garden and is exceptionally well equipped. Generally, this is a lovely location and ideal if you're looking for peace and quiet, but still within a short drive to shops and restaurants.

  The Stables was a great location for our young family.

  Our sons loved being able to run outdoors and see all the farm animals. Tom and Rose were most welcoming and helpful. They have a great set up and The Stables is a very comfortable and well equipped place. We cooked and ate at The Stables each day and there was everything needed in the kitchen to facilitate that. The living/dining room area was light and spacious. The bathroom was large and had a separate bath and shower. The bedrooms were large and storage space for clothes generous. The beds were comfortable and very clean. We were very comfortable in the setting overall as it had everything we needed. Games, books and dvds were an added bonus. It was lovely to have fresh eggs and milk in the kitchen upon arrival and the milkman delivery facility available during our stay. We were secluded enough to not hear any noise other than the farm animals which we loved. We really relaxed and enjoyed family time during the week; cycling in the area and visiting local areas and even did a spot of shopping at Clark's Village outlet which is not far. There are local farms down the road that have strawberries, eggs, bread and cider available on 'honesty box' system. This place is highly recommended for all the right reasons.

  A very cozy cabin, which is bright and airy. The view across the field, including the sheep and the quiet make for a very relaxing spot to do nothing or just read a book. Although the location is well removed from other homes and the village along a number of narrow lanes, many interesting places and delightful pub restaurants are within easy reach. We had good meals at the "Villa Verdi" in Wellington, La Campanga" at the former "Eagle Inn" on the A303 as you approach Buckland St Mary from the east. Also there is a great daily carvery at the 'Hare & Hounds" just out of Honiton on the road to Budleigh Salterton. We enjoyed visits to the Wellington Monument, Bicton Park Botanical Gardens and also Stourhead on our journey home. We also undertook the challenge of a round of golf at Taunton & Pickeridge GC where we received a warm welcome. The cabin was the ideal base for our short break and the weather was better than we had expected. We will surely have to come again as it is also close to family and friends for a catch up.

  Really enjoyed our 1 week stay here in July 2020 just after National lockdown 1.

  Lovely cottage and gardens in a beautiful area. Lots of room in the cottage. We spent most of our time when we were at the cottage between the kitchen and the garden. In the kitchen area there is the large dining table and chairs and a handy sofa and TV. We spent a lot of time in the evening in the games room playing table tennis and darts. We were very lucky with the weather so were able to enjoy 2 or 3 barbecues and we cooked at the cottage (kitchen utensils were abundant) apart from one evening when we ate out. Fantastic area for exploring. We visited the Watchet area on Bridgwater Bay, Lyme Regis on Lyme Bay and many places in between. I'd recommend the cottage and the area and would go back myself.

  The house and grounds were perfect for our stay.

  We held a family party while we were there and the children played happily in the gardens, climbing trees, playing hide and seek and generally doing what children should do. The house is exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed and the large fridge/freezer was a blessing. Upstairs the roomy bathroom helped with small children and there was plenty of room for us all to have our own space but get together when we wanted to. The village is beautiful, with a play park across the road and lots of lovely walks. The Farthings hotel is wonderful for an evening drink or a beautiful supper and the pub down the road is friendly and family orientated. I would recommend Quist Cottage unreservedly.
