Somerset: One of Molly & Pip’s Favourite Places 🐾🌿

Somerset is one of mine and

's favourite places. But if I’m honest, it’s really Molly and Pip who made the decision for us. We’ve holidayed there now 3 out of the last 4 years, and every time we arrive they behave like we’ve brought them back to their personal kingdom.

There’s one spot in particular they’ve claimed as their own: Quantock Cottages, a peaceful little cluster of cottages tucked between rolling hills and ancient woodland… where the only things that break the silence are birds, the wind, and your dogs charging ahead because they’ve found an exciting smell.

That’s the vibe.

The walks around there are ridiculous in the best way possible. Long trails, wide open fields, forests that look like they’ve been fashioned for a movie - and paths that seem designed specifically for dogs who want to sniff every blade of grass.

Molly goes full detective mode the second we arrive. Pip does her usual “We live here now!” routine. And honestly? We kinda do the same.

Quantock Cottages has become the kind of place where:

the dogs are muddy within five minutes
you are relaxed within ten
and everyone sleeps like they’ve done a triathlon by bedtime

Every year we think, “We should try somewhere new...” Then we look at how happy (and tired!) Molly and Pip are and suddenly we’re booking it again....

I'll share a few photos in a minute - I'm sure Esther will add more, because this is one of those places that dogs just understand immediately. It’s freedom. It’s quiet. It’s pure joy.

If your dogs have a “favourite place” they drag you back to again and again, let us know. We love hearing where everyone’s pups come alive. 🐶💚
