Holidays aren’t just for humans, and at Acorn Cottage, your four-legged friend is welcome too. Up to two dogs are accepted per booking (please note, a small additional charge applies). Canine guests receive their own welcome pack, and towels and food/water bowls are provided for them to use during their stay. Due to the open plan nature of the farm and the proximity of private residences, I do ask that all dogs are kept on a lead at all times when outside the cottage, except for in the Secret Garden, which is fully enclosed. At certain times of the year, a 3-acre stock-fenced field may also be available for dog exercising.

With its wide-open spaces, Dartmoor offers the perfect opportunity for dog walking and many visitor attractions in the area accept well-behaved dogs on leads.

Perhaps your dog would like a little ‘me time’ during your visit – why not book in for a grooming session at Moorland Paws in nearby Chagford? They also stock a range of natural pet care products.
