The place

Maggie and her dog love welcoming guests to the Old Dairy Barn. They'll make you feel right at home with treats for your own dog, ear scratches (Maggie), sniffs (the dog) and a warmth that runs through everything in this characterful cottage. Her house is just at the top of the garden if you need her, but she’s left her wealth of local knowledge in the guest book. You’ll find quiet walks along the canal, ideas for days out and suggestions for the many dog-friendly pubs and restaurants around, including the lovely walk through a nature reserve that ends at the superb King’s Arms. The views from the suntrap courtyard terrace are fantastic and the high walls mean it’s a safe space for your dog to roam around while you sip a glass of wine and watch the sunset.

In the neighbourhood

  • Walk from the door: Walk across the street towards Mountain Wood Road, and take the footpath on the right at the start of the turn off, cross the field into the woods through the nature reserve to Browne’s Folly and across the fields to the little village of Monkton Farleigh where the historic village pub, The Kings Arms, serves fantastic food and is dog friendly
  • American Museum & Gardens, 20-minute drive: Just across the valley, the exhibits are fascinating, and the gardens and grounds here are stunning, with views across the Limpley Stoke valley, and dogs are welcome on a lead in all areas
  • Bath city centre, 16-minute drive: There’s simply no city like Bath, with its grand, period buildings, parks, gardens and of course, incredible shopping. There are plenty of dog-friendly spots to grab a bite to eat or have a coffee
  • Hartley Farm Shop, 13-minute drive: It’s a short drive over to Hartley Farm Shop to pick up some incredible supplies for your time away, and whilst you’re there, you can grab an all-day breakfast, a spot of lunch or just coffee and ice cream (and that includes doggy ice cream of course).
