Dog Friendly

WINNER OF THE KENNEL CLUB'S OPEN FOR DOGS 'Somewhere to Sleep' AWARD 2008

We are very dog friendly here at the Old Cider House. We are also one of the few places with Enjoy England Welcome Pets accreditation.

Canine guests are made very welcome. We make sure that there is a bowl and mat in the room, there’s a list of walks and places to visit and we even make our own cat-shaped dog biscuits. All the pubs in the village are dog friendly and walking in the Quantock Hills is fantastic. Dogs even get their own ID tag so they don’t get lost!

Our Orchard Room is ideally suited to our canine guests as it's on the ground floor and owners can pop out early mornings or late at night for those important little tinkles (dogs that is - not owners!). Our Poets' Room is also dog friendly. PLEASE NOTE that not all our rooms are suitable for dogs.

We limit dogs to 2 and make a small charge.

We have a few simple rules - Ozy, our resident Labrador, details them below:

o We are not allowed in the dining room and never in the kitchen (even me!). We can go into the lounge if we are very, very good and don’t annoy other guests or jump on the sofas
o We’re not allowed on the beds (bad luck!)
o If we make a mess in the house our owners have to clean it up – there’s a supply of cleaning materials on request.
o If we do poos in the garden or elsewhere in the village these must be cleared up – there’s a supply of doggie bags available from my owners and a blue poo bin behind the last cottage.
o You can eat in your room or outside. Beware, if I’m around I tend to eat other dogs’ food ‘cos I am greedy
o My owners make a small charge for dogs in the house of £3.00 per night
o If you chew or damage anything – beware, my owners will ask your owners to pay for the damage
o Try to get your owners to stay with you rather than leaving you in your room while they go out. The Ancient Mariner and Rose & Crown pubs are both dog friendly. Alternatively, why not eat in?
o There are plenty of walks around the village and in the Quantock Hills which are on the doorstep
o No barking (which includes yapping when left alone for a few minutes - big girls' blouses!), fighting, smoking, gambling or eating the chickens
o Don’t play with my toys – or else!
